Elmers Court Country Club, Lymington, New Forest

At the edge of the New Forest and overlooking the Solent to the Isle of Wight is the outstanding Elmers Court Country Club.

Set within twenty three acres of immaculate lawns and gardens is the Tudor Manor House. The lawns stretch lazily down to the water's edge, where you can stand and watch the yachts pass by on their way to and from the nearby marina.

Manor House apartments have period features, and all are stylishly furnished to an exceptional standard, including a fitted or partial kitchen. The apartments and lodges also feature quality fittings and furniture and many have a generously equipped kitchen. But if you want a rest from the cooking, the stylish Waterford Restaurant provides formal dining - in the traditional setting of the Manor House.

The indoor leisure centre is just as impressive. You'll find a large swimming pool, whirlpool spa, sauna, steam room and squash courts, table tennis and a gymnasium, or perhaps you'd like to pamper yourself in our Health & Beauty Spa.

All of this is a short stroll from the Isle of Wight ferry terminal and a few minutes more to the cobbled streets of Lymington. Driving a little further brings you to Bournemouth, Poole Harbour, Swanage and Studland Bay.
