建築大師飯店

First time we've stayed and this location is exactly as charming as it looks in the pictures. As others have mentioned the rooms are quite small but why would anyone spend anything other than the minimum time in them with what's in the vicinity? Everything was spotlessly clean, Nicki on reception is a star and the breakfast was superb, even more so with that view.

A lovely hotel in a beautiful setting with a lot of history. The staff are friendly and helpful, the food good and the lounge and bedrooms, although the latter are small, are comfortable. The only down side for us was the many steps which make it unsuitable for the elderly as does the very strong springs on the bedroom doors which make them difficult to open and almost impossible to close quietly.

We enjoyed our previous stay in May so much that we had to return. This time we stayed in room 22 (Husar) - One of the Riverview rooms in the main hotel and what a fabulous room it was. Very spacious, well equipped (including a fridge), extremely comfortable bed and views to die for. We stayed again for 5 nights and dined in Henry's with our two dogs every evening. The food was absolutely superb every night. Breakfast is delicious and with plenty of choice and the staff are all so welcoming, attentive and friendly. We were expecting bad weather but we actually had very good weather and managed to walk to Beaulieu on two separate days. This is a really fabulous walk following the river and we would thoroughly recommend this to other guests. We also spent a day at Exbury Gardens again and on another day we walked all around Lepe Country Park and right along Lepe Beach to Stanswood Bay where there are the remains of buildings used for D Day. The dogs loved running along the beach on the way there. A truly dog friendly hotel where they supply dog beds and treats - we bought both our dogs beds with us but they preferred to sleep in the ones supplied by the hotel! We found the hotel so relaxing and spent many hours just watching the world go by from the hotel gardens, terrace, lounge and from our room window - absolute bliss! This really is the most wonderful and relaxing place to stay and we will be returning again and again.
