I had a pleasant weekend at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful grounds and overall atmosphere. The staff was friendly and accommodating, particularly during dinner service, and I appreciated the spa treatments despite some minor booking issues. However, the pool area was quite noisy with children, which hampered the relaxation I was hoping for, and breakfast had a few logistical hiccups during a busy Sunday morning.

I had a nice couple of nights away at this hotel, enjoyed the lovely spacious room with a separate kitchen area. The restaurant served delicious meals, and the staff were genuinely warm and attentive. Although the dining experience was slightly marred by some inconsistencies at breakfast, overall the stay was pleasant. Just be aware of the room layout as some may not be ideal due to their location.

Our stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. While the beautiful grounds and various leisure options were enjoyable, the room and dining experiences fell short of our expectations. We appreciated some moments of relaxation, but the overall condition of our accommodations and dining choices left a lot to be desired.

I had a wonderful short getaway with my mum and aunt at Elmers Court. The staff were attentive and the food was of very good quality, particularly the dinner and breakfast options. The spa services, including massages and facials, were a bonus that added to our relaxation. However, I did find the check-in time of 5 PM a bit inconvenient, and we experienced some minor issues with the room's bedding quality during a previous visit.
