Lock in a great price for Master Builder's House Hotel – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

The position and traditional feel of the hotel and the hotel reception were great

Marilyn, United Kingdom

One of our favourite places - comfortable, unpretentious and relaxing. Beautiful location in Bucklers Hard.

John, United Kingdom

The place itself and the area around are very lovely. It's an old shipbuilder house with a lot of history converted nowadays into a pleasant facility to relax. We noticed mostly families and elder people were around. Our room was located at the Master's builder wing and was very nice, clean, warm and with attention to detail - it is very classical style but with modern amenities. Also the quality of the food was very good.

Slightlybonkers, United Kingdom

The staff were really friendly and helpful, the location excellent, and the room was very comfortable.

Catherine, United Kingdom

A very warm welcome to the hotel and tour of building. All staff were very very friendly and professional.

Geraldine, United Kingdom

Food and service in the restaurant was excellent Idyllic location

Sue, United Kingdom

A very traditional bar with log fire and good food.

Adrian, France

This place is a magical trip filled with history. The staff and the food were great. The location is amazing and the facilities were very luxurious. We loved the yachtsman's bar! roaring log fires and locals popping in for dinner made it feel very cozy and relaxed.

The internet - it kept switching off and on. We were for one night there so didn't bother to ask for help as we just switched to our mobile internet. We didn't like how one of the receptionists and some of the restaurant staff looked at us when we were checking in and went for dinner and breakfast - yes, we are foreigners but this never happened to me in London(where I live for more than 6 years).

Inexperienced waiting staff, breakfast service or lack of (the buffet had juice bottles but no glasses, there were no croissants or muffins left at 9:15am when breakfast was served until 10am, one guest was told the kitchen had run out of eggs by 9:45am, the tea and cooked breakfast arrived together 20minutes after the order was taken, dirty dishes were not cleared away, the order for tea and breakfast was taken 15 minutes after we arrived when there were only very few guests in the restaurant); at dinner the bread plate was never cleared away, the waiter reached over the plates to set another dish onto the table, the dessert was served in the same type glass as the water glass, the restaurant was very cold with cold air coming through the window; the sofas in the lounge looked comfortable but really need to be replaced. The room 31 is more a servant‘s room with bath, the toilet was very noisy and water continued to drip long after the toilet was flushed, the water took ages to come out of the tap, the curtains were stained on one side, the view out of that window was on to the kitchen vents and noisy, the walls between room 30 and 31 very thin- we could hear screaming children at 7:30am in the morning. In short, we will not return which is a Great pity because the location is superb. I have no idea why the rating for this review gets 6.3!?
The location!

The walls are very thin in the classic rooms which means you can hear if someone gets a morning wakeup call or goes to the toilet. we slept quite badly so would definitely ask for a different room or upgrade to a room in the main hotel next time. i would't recommend these for light sleepers but don't let that put you off!
