“Macdonald Elmers Court strikes me as a place caught between eras; its Tudor architecture hints at a rich past, while modern travelers might find some aspects wanting an update. The grounds are undeniably impressive, spanning 23 acres, and the Two AA Rosettes suggest the dining experience could be a highlight. However, be aware that some facilities may not match the grandeur of the setting.”
