A message from The Master Builder’s Manager, Mike
Hi readers of the Master Builder’s Blog.
I’m Mike, the hotel manager and I spend my days working in what I consider one of the most beautiful places in the New Forest, but also with a wonderful team of people. We did win the coveted fish (see our website for more on this mysterious award) and I think it’s because as a team we work really hard to maintain standards and, for the most part, enjoy creating an atmosphere that is genuine, friendly and welcoming.
The Master Builders as a hotel is a great place to work, because as we say, it really is quirky. There’s something very earthy about where we are and any place that’s got the history this hotel does deserves to be called quirky. As a team, my staff work really hard on making sure that we offer guests and visitors a really good time and we spend many hours bashing about ideas that will inspire people to come out and support the hotel in style.
From our quizzes (no I don’t do the questions so don’t ask me for the answers) to our music nights and events, I think we really push ourselves to create genuine community styled events that say something about who we are as New Forest folks – I also think this is something that people coming from all over the country like too.
One of my favourite offerings is our conference room – that’s not just for parties! I encourage people to book it for film nights with a difference. Kind of a film festival weekend for movie lovers who want to stay over and enjoy some nice cool beer and company with friends! At the moment we’re still planning ahead for our beer festival and I’m really hoping this batch of fantastic weather stays with us so that everyone coming can really enjoy the summer in beautiful surroundings.
