The Master Builder’s House Hotel - Hotel in Hampshire
Bucklers Hard, SO42 7XB, Hampshire
England,
Regno Unito
The position here is hard to beat: lawns run down to the river, yacht masts flutter in the breeze, ancient woodland runs along the water, soundproofing this beautiful landscape. As for the house, it dates to 1729 and was home to the shipwrights who built Nelson's fleet; several ships built here saw action at Trafalgar. These days peace reigns. A chic sitting room opens onto a smart garden, where gravel paths weave past colourful beds to tables for lunch in the sun. There’s a lovely old bar and an airy restaurant – both have terraces that drink in the view, and both serve tasty local fare: an à la carte menu featuring locally sourced seasonal produce is available in the restaurant. It's closed during the winter so retreat to the cosy bar instead. Bedrooms in the main house have big views, Indian furniture, then colour and character in spades. Those in the annexe come in crisp blues and whites, with a wall of wood. All have Roberts Radios, homemade treats, excellent walk-in showers and 100 Acres toiletries. As for the New Forest, walk, cycle or kayak though it. A great forest base.
