With beautiful views over the Beaulieu River and set at the end of the grassy street that is Buckler’s Hard village, it is difficult to imagine a more picturesque setting for a hotel on the whole south coast of England. What’s more, The Master Builder’s is located on Lord Montagu's Beaulieu Estate in the New Forest National Park and is just a few minutes' drive from Beaulieu Palace House, the famous National Motor Museum, and the spectacular Exbury Gardens.
ACCOMMODATION
Many fine old naval ships were built at Buckler’s Hard. In fact you can still see the old grassy ‘slips’ just below the hotel. We think it appropriate to celebrate the work of Mr Henry Adams (the shipbuilder and former resident of the hotel building) by naming our rooms after some of his work.
We offer mostly Chic and Luxury Rooms in the main house, beautifully and individually created by the well-known interior designer Christine Boswell, and we offer our newly refurbished Posh Classic Rooms in the Henry Adams wing.
RENTAL COTTAGES
Just across the grassy street from The Master Builder's House Hotel you will find two lovely rental cottages, The Harbourmaster’s & The Shipwrights, both with fabulous views over the village itself as well as the glorious Beaulieu river. The cottages are ideal for a family or group holiday and come with the added benefit of having both the bar and restaurant at the hotel opposite should you want a break from self catering.
FOOD & DRINK
At The Master Builder’s we have two rather different food and drink options available, so you’ll be spoilt for choice. Both offer fresh, seasonal food, good quality wines & ales, and good company.
Our AA Rosette-awarded Riverview Restaurant offers sumptuous fine dining in discreet and comfortable surroundings overlooking the Beaulieu River - as the Restaurant’s name implies.
The Yachtsman’s Bar & Gardens offers a casual light bite and a fine range of good beers. You can eat in the bar by a blazing fire on cold winter days, or relax on our garden terrace in the summer, watching the boats go by.
