Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Fantastic break from start to finish. We stayed in a 1 bed apartment (No 25) in the main Manor House and it was huge, much bigger than I expected. The apartment was spotless and came with toiletries, cleaning supplies and tea/coffee etc. We were self catering so didn’t use the restaurants but we made the most of the indoor pool as this was the main reason I booked. I wanted to take my 9 year old son away for a few days and the pool was the main attraction for us. We had a great time and I’d definitely go back. Would be even more lovely in the summer as the outdoor pool & gardens looked fab! We were lucky with the weather and managed a game of tennis one day. Yes the tennis courts need resurfacing but this didn’t stop us enjoying ourselves & having fun. Taking a child away as a single parent can be daunting but Elmers court was a great place to go, so to any other single patents out there I say go for it! You’ll have a great time

Will definitely be going again!
Staff extremely attentive and helpful, great food and facilities on site. Room was very cosy with a comfy bed and Google Cast which allowed us to stream whatever we liked from our phones to the TV, which was a fantastic feature we had not seen at other hotels. The spa is well worth a visit and the pool, sauna and steam room were very enjoyable too. The only things that stopped it making this a 5-star trip was that the shower was sometimes not quite as hot as we'd like (we were in Manor House 29a) and it would have been nice to have a bigger bar area with a wider draft beer selection. However, these minor things definitely did not spoil our trip as they were just down to our personal preferences, and we would definitely go again regardless of these! Highly recommended for couples and families alike.

Bizzare Breakfast situation and not at all worth it for the price. The hotel, room, staff in the reception and the gym spa area great. They should start serving breakfast in the main hotel building’s restaurant which serves dinner.

Cracking Hotel in great location.
Really pleasantly surprised with Elmers Court. The Hotel is in a great location with fantastic facilities. John (in the bar) and Sophie (reception) deserve a special mention as they were so welcoming and enthusiastic. The Spa, gum and pool were great and this enhanced our stay. The close proximity to the IOW ferry is super practical too.

Lovely location, needs some updated
Room was lovely complete with all needed amenities however very outdated. Staff were lovely but struggled to meet basic requests. Had paid for high chair usage on arrival, high chair failed to arrive for first 2 days despite chasing this up, when it event arrived it was filthy with Totton food on the harness and underside. Contacted reception who apologised and informed me at by another one would be sent up, 3 days later still no highchair. Than on checkout they attempted to charge me again for the highchair I was never given. Breakfast was below par, waited 40mins for 2 full English charged at £20pp, food was disproportionate to price charged (see photo). Whilst waiting you could hear the chef swearing and complaining about the number of people eating at the restaurant, which to add is pre booked. Tried to discuss issues with waiters once it eventually arrived but all the waiting staff had left and for obvious reasons was not going to approach the chef. Discussed this with reception on discharge and we’re told that they would have a word with the chef (what use is that to use after our 4 year old spent 20mins asking why the man behind the screen was so upset). Expected a better service for the price, maybe staff should have considered closing the restaurant due to exceptional circumstances. Kids throughly enjoyed the pool and location was lovely for walks and bird watching. Despite issues express would definitely consider returning with own highchair this time.
