1 / 8Master Builder's House Hotel
Beaulieu, Hampshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A riverside hotel at Buckler's Hard on the Beaulieu River, with dog friendly rooms in the Henry Adams wing and dogs welcome in Henry's Pub.
A post-walk pint by a roaring fire in Henry's Pub, maritime artwork around you and the Beaulieu River outside, with plenty of space for your dog: that is an evening at the Master Builder's House. This historic hotel sits at Buckler's Hard, tucked into the New Forest's edge, with stories in its shipbuilding timbers; riverside walks and New Forest woodland start right from the door of this dog friendly hotel.
The dog friendly rooms are in the Henry Adams wing, handy after long forest walks and muddy riverside outings, with a limited number of rooms set aside for dogs and up to two dogs per room. A dog bed, water bowls and treats are ready in the room when you arrive. In the public areas, the corridors and grounds included, dogs keep to a lead. Its pages don't mention a dog waiting alone in the room while you're out; check that with the team.
Henry's Pub, with its board games and plenty of space for four-legged friends, welcomes well behaved dogs in selected bar and outdoor areas. Downstairs, the dining room at Henry's is dog-free, but the hotel doesn't say which of the selected areas suit a meal with your dog, so ask before you book. Henry's serves honest, hearty food with a good range of local beers and wines, all overlooking the Beaulieu River.
Some rooms overlook the Beaulieu River, and rooms are named after ships built at Buckler's Hard, such as Victorious and Agamemnon; Balthazar, the cottage next to the hotel in the village, is a self-catering option. With your dog, Lepe Country Park and the Lepe Loop is 2.7 miles away, and Lepe Beach, at 3.1 miles, is the first dog friendly beach on Wildpack's map from Buckler's Hard.
