My husband took me away for a lovely weekend and booked this Hotel (mostly due to the lovely photos shown on the website). It was expensive so when we checked into the room, I was a bit upset. The Wallpaper was peeling back, the room looked quite old in decoration and the furniture was well worn (in a lot of... More

This was our first visit to Elmers Court and hopefully not the last. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds and has some lovely views of the Solent. I am surprised about some of the comments about the staff because we found all the staff absolutely delightful. Very friendly and helpful. I think we picked a good time for a... More

Breakfasts at the "Steak Club" were expensive and avoided..... Swimming pool closed - parking little to spare.... Could not walk into town unless you were a... More

Stayed here for business. Looked great when I checked, lovely building. When I got to the room I can only say that Butlins came to mind. Service was ok, drinks in the bar were expensive and the choice of white wines that they actually had in stock was poor. Room was really outdated, awful faded furniture and curtains from the... More

Since returning I have read some of the other reviews about this hotel and in some respects I wish I had done this first. Before I move to the Pro's and Con's I should say that my complaint and feedback was dealt with courteously with the General Manager with a satisfactory resolution. This is NOT a bad hotel, however as... More
