The Summer Has Arrived At The Master Builders Hotel
Hello again
Well this is my second instalment for The Master Builder’s Hotel and I’m just starting to get used to writing about what I do here.
The past couple of weeks have been busy as we entered and got through the wonderful May Bank Holiday weekend. I think the May Day Bank Holiday was made for the New Forest really as although it’s a large area of National Park, there’s always been a bit of a community spirit going on.
I guess the May Day Bank Holiday was the official start of the summer, when things really come to life and now me and my team are preparing ourselves for the busy months ahead.
We get visitors from all over the world here, who want to enjoy the New Forest and all the things it has to offer, from Exbury Gardens or the Beaulieu Motor Museum right through to the famous New Forest Ponies.
Things are set-up nicely for the season now and I can feel a real momentum and I’m looking forward to the summer. Albeit the busy summer, with people coming here for Sunday lunch, or a Saturday lunchtime to enjoy some food in gorgeous surroundings and I do try and meet everyone’s needs. You wouldn’t believe what goes on behind the scenes here when we’re stacked up with visitors who want to enjoy a sunny weekend in Buckler’s Hard.
The demands on us as a team do get harder during the summer months, but when we hear great feedback from people, we really feel like we’re making a difference and that all the hard work is paying off!
I do always like to hear from people who have enjoyed their time with us – whether that’s for an hour, a day or a week, so please feel free to drop me a line anytime to give me your feedback.
That’s it for now – I’m about to meet and greet some new guests, who have never been here before, so I’m going to enjoy showing them what I consider the quirkiest place in the New Forest and direct them to our bar for a nice glass of wine and a Master Builder’s Hotel welcome.
Mike
