    Location was good, pool table was a great idea. Rooms were large and beds were comfortable. Outdoor play area was good.

  • Superb – Jim from United Kingdom (9/10)

    As a family of 4 adults and 3 children (all under 4 years of age), we had the pleasure to stay at Elmside for 4 nights last week.
    We were met at the property by our extremely helpful host Jordan who had lit the firepit for us , in advance to our arrival. He showed us around and explained how the appliances worked, and supplied a welcome pack for our use, which was a nice touch. Jordan was only a phone call away and responded quickly to any queries.
    Elmside really is a well located and impressive property with sufficient parking for at least 4 cars. The kitchen is very well equipped and the adjacent leisure area with sofa, TV and pool table is huge. The lounge with 2 dining tables and work space was equally impressive.
    All of the bedrooms were clean and of generous sizes. Any one of them could accommodate the 2 travel cots we took with us without compromising space. The downstairs bedroom, with access to the outside space, would be useful for anyone who found stairs difficult.
    The garden is enclosed, private and secure. The garden furniture and climbing frame were real benefits, and the hot tub was a big plus.

    There is plenty to do in the immediate area and we visited Calshot and the popular Lepe beaches; Longdown Adventure Farm; Paulton Park; Lymington and Bucklers Hard – all within a short drive from Elmside.

    Overall, we had a splendid stay and would not hesitate in recommending this accommodation to others.
