Remote, quiet and peaceful bliss!

Perfect for a winter break away from it all! Despite being cold outside the hotel was amazingly cosy. We loved that we could actually see the stars in the night sky due to lack of light pollution. Dinner in Henry’s was fabulous. We slept so well as there is no traffic noise. The perfect little mini break in a very interesting and historic location. Wonderful for anyone with a particular interest in all things nautical!

Fabulous hotel

What a wonderful hotel, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was lovely and clean, nice touches such as a complimentary bottle of pink gin and shortbread biscuits and treats for the the doggy as well as a bed and bowl provided. Really scenic location as well would highly recommend.
Comfy doggy bed and a lots of yummy food to choose from on the pup menu

Elegant hotel in a great location overlooking the river. Room was quite small, up in the roof (so sloping ceilings), but comfortable bed. No shower screen, just shower spray on bath. Good breakfast with plenty of options.

A stopover when walking The Solent Way

Unique setting and an ideal stopping point when walking the Solent Way. However we felt it was over priced for the quality of the room. A pleasant enough room but the bed was worn sloping from the centre to both sides and the toilet flush didn’t work effectively and there was no toilet brush. All staff were delightful friendly and helpful. The food in the pub was good and the service excellent.

Stayed for one night. We had to ask to change our room due to it being right up in the top of the building. It was up some really steep narrow stairs which I found difficult with walking problems. We also found it very claustrophobic. However reception were wonderful and immediately moved us to a different room which much better. We ate dinner in Henry’s Bar which was fine and breakfast in Riverview. The hot food was good but cups and plates etc weren’t very clean. We also found the continental area a bit messy. The toaster was very temperamental not just with us, everyone that was using it had problems. Overall we had a good stay, the staff were great but felt the hotel lacked attention to detail.

Love Bucklers Hard visited decades ago & The Hotel. Professional check-in. Room in the older part of the hotel, wear & tear on the stairs. Carpet threadbare, paintwork chipped, handrails sticky. Forgave this in a 300 year old building. Rooms well presented & clean. Bathroom tired, poor sealants, dirty tile grout. Bramley bathroom products. Beds comfortable & linen clean. River views. All OK so far. Some issues from this point. Hotel has a monopoly on food. Choice is the restaurant, or ‘Harry’s’ pub. We ate at Harry’s. Prices average/high. Steak £24 Burger £16 Lamb chop £20; drinks also average/high. Waitress was fun. Food is where it gets sketchy. Steak & chop didn’t come with additional vegetables. It seemed so mean! A ploy to order more? It’s typical in the UK to have at least one second veg. The food itself was ok, portions small. The burger our recommendation. In the room there were mosquitos. We killed a few before bed. We were awoken to room full of them, killed well over thirty before falling asleep! Woke covered with bites. Hotel knew of the problem – so why no warning or products to combat it? Breakfast was efficient. Disappointing buffet, no fruit salad, loaf with slow toaster, no pastries. Bizarre deep cereal jars with spoons rather than ladles, impossibly daft! The cooked breakfasts were to order & of high quality, but the portions were small. Checkout smooth. Still love this Hotel, want to help improve things so it’s 4/5 (otherwise it's a 3/5 on the day).

Gorgeous location but, in the run up to my stay, I was bombarded with calls from The Master Builder hotel offering me £25 discount if I cancelled my Expedia booking and booked with The Master Builder direct. I was very uncomfortable with this (and kept my booking with Expedia in place).
