Historic hotel on the Beaulieu River in New Forest National Park
Location & History
Master Builder's House Hotel sits on the banks of the Beaulieu River within New Forest National Park. The hotel occupies the former home of Henry Adams, the master shipbuilder who oversaw construction of Royal Navy warships at Buckler's Hard. Guests can walk the 2.4-mile riverside path to Beaulieu village and the National Motor Museum.
Dining
The award-winning Riverview Restaurant serves menus built around local and seasonal produce. Henry's, the onsite pub, offers hearty British food and a selection of great beers in a dog-friendly setting. Breakfast includes a small buffet with fresh local produce alongside cooked options.
Rooms & Accommodations
Superior and Deluxe rooms are located in the main building, many with river views and antique furnishings. The Henry Adams wing contains Comfort Double rooms with en-suite bathrooms and modern amenities like air conditioning. Two self-catering cottages on the hotel grounds provide an alternative for families or longer stays.
Activities
The hotel hires out canoes and kayaks directly from its own pier on the Beaulieu River. Bicycles are available for hire to explore the New Forest's network of trails and quiet lanes. Horse riding, golf, and river cruises are all within easy reach of the hotel.
Pet-Friendly & Family
Dogs are welcome throughout the hotel and receive a bed, bowl, and treats in the room. Family rooms and interconnecting options are available, and kids' meals are served in both the restaurant and Henry's pub. The hotel grounds provide direct access to forest walks and the riverside path, making it easy for families with children to enjoy the outdoors.
