“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.”

Absolutely fantastic stay!

The gym classes were great and the staff were friendly. The main hotel building had lovely surroundings and there was a wooden balcony for my room. It was ideal for morning and evening relaxation. The customer service was excellent, and I found the beds very comfortable and clean!
I had to walk a long way to reception, especially when managing luggage. It wasn't set up for residents.

I stayed in a Beautiful King Room. The room was spacious. I noted the grounds were well maintained and enjoyable for walks. The breakfast was quite ample and offered hot food.
The room had net curtains and they were very grubby. The electric heater on the wall looks dated. I saw that one pillow was open ended.
