Elmers Court Hotel is a stunning country house set in the heart of the New Forest, overlooking the Solent. Steeped in history and surrounded by acres of beautiful grounds, the estate blends heritage, tranquillity, and natural charm, making it a treasured destination for those seeking elegance and escape.
The hotel is now preparing for an exciting, large-scale refurbishment that will elevate every part of the property—from redesigned rooms and enhanced dining spaces to upgraded leisure facilities and refreshed outdoor areas. This transformation will honour the building’s character while introducing contemporary comforts that will position Elmers Court as one of the South Coast’s premier luxury destinations.
With a spectacular relaunch planned for 2026, this is a rare opportunity to join the team at a pivotal moment. Those who come on board will help shape the hotel’s future, influence its transformation, and play an important part in redefining its place in the market for years to come.
