Our little girl loved the warm swimming pool (the only private pool in town apparently). The room was comfortable but the food was really very good. I loved breakfast! We went mackerel fishing from the harbour and the chef served up the catch for the children's supper - brilliant! Would recommend the hotel highly and definitely stay again if we... more

We've stayed at this hotel 4 times now and it gets better every time. Zoe, Matt, their boys and staff are welcoming and do everything to ensure an amazing stay. The food is seriously yummy, and the rooms are both elegant and cosy - I particularly loved the 4 poster room I had during a previous visit!. My 2 year... more

I have stayed at The Elmsfield a couple of times now and I have been really impressed how by how relaxed and enjoyable my stays has been.

I was expecting exactly that at the Elmfield, but was really happy to find the opposite. I’m no design aficionado but the décor seemed very tasteful yet it was really comfy. Our room was warm... more

The Elmfield was not quite what I had in mind, I thought it would be all designer this and wallpaper that. Well it wasn’t. It was very homely, very friendly and really really relaxing. The food portions where not massive – but this was amply made up for with the taste and beautiful presentation. My room was not massive –... more

The Elmfield was chosen by my wife for a short break during half term. I was actually dreading it – a family hotel sounded awful even as a parent, how pleasant it felt to be wrong. My favourite thing about this hotel was the great breakfast – huevos rancheros or ‘eggs americano’ as they call it is one of my... more
