The Montagu Arms Hotel

1 night in garden cottage. Wonderful, quiet room, Beaulieu is beautiful and service was excellent. Delicious breakfast.

Great stay and very dog friendly. Perfect location with a lovely walk behind the hotel to the next village – ideal if you’re travelling with a dog. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the whole place had a really welcoming atmosphere.

Our room was cosy, beautifully maintained and excellent value. The dog package was the best we’ve experienced – bed, bowls, toy, treats, shampoo and poo bags, plus even a pick-and-mix treat station for dogs and guests. Lovely lounge with a log fire, dog cushions to borrow, a beautiful garden/patio and plenty of parking.

We also ate at Monty’s, the dog-friendly pub next door, and the food was delicious.

We’ll definitely be back.

A very warm welcome to us and in particular our dog who was even better looked after than we were! Gorgeous room, good food, excellent and hospitable staff (particularly the younger team members who couldn't do enough for you). The gardens are beautifully kept. A really relaxing say.

Second visit, looking forward to the next. Family of five, inc g'parents and 3 year old, two garden suites, ideal. Rooms spcious, bathrooms, fabulous, but comfort depends on many things and its the way the hotel is run that makes the difference. This is a 'kind' hotel, they cater, in a v quiet way for everyone. Dont expect pools and play spaces, or anything flash, do expect, attention to detail, real flowers on the dining tables, hot plates with every meal, prompt service and a general air of calm well being- the pub next door ( part of the hotel) is ideal for early kid suppers, and dogs are v welcome.

The hotel is steeped in history and well appointed. It has been maintained to a high standard, it has beautiful gardens and easy parking. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast provided was superb.

We had a fantastic stay at The Montagu Arms Hotel in Beaulieu. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the New Forest, offering a peaceful setting while still being close to local attractions and lovely walks.

The atmosphere throughout the hotel is warm, elegant, and very welcoming. The staff were friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

The room was beautifully presented, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The attention to detail and high standards of cleanliness really stood out. Everything felt well maintained and relaxing.

I also felt the stay offered great value for the quality of the experience. Overall, a wonderful hotel with charm, comfort, and excellent service. I would happily return and highly recommend it to others.

If you want to nip out of London for an indulgent country house weekend (with walks and the Beaulieu estate right on the doorstep) you should check yourselves in here. From our arrival in the rain to departure in the sun we felt welcomed and pampered by excellent staff. There is a good choice of rooms; from the older ones of the main house to more modern options around the garden and courtyard. They have a good website and Instagram – so you can see them all there. Good value, and clean. You will also see the small but rather beautiful garden (and the feature rooms where we stayed). The Terrace Restaurant itself was very good. The food at their Monty’s Inn was what you’d expect (pub grub) but livened up with some interesting starters. To summarise: would we come back? Yes. Thanks.

Great place, great staff and a smashing location. It’s not a busy time of year but all the staff were welcoming, polite and would help in any way for you to enjoy your stay. We stayed in the duplex suite in the garden, quiet and relaxing with an enjoyable meal at Monty’s. Excellent welcome and check out thank you! Will return again!!

A characterful hotel well situated in a picturesque village in the New Forest. We stayed in Room 23, a type described as House Feature. Apart from double bed the furnishings included a comfortable sofa and the en-suite bathroom was convenient, well-lit and with effective plumbing including conventional bath. Better shelving to place toilet bags would perhaps have been welcomed. Our room was at the back of the hotel, peaceful and with windows looking out over the charming hotel garden. We had hoped to dine in the hotel's main restaurant, but unfortunately it was closed on the evening of our visit so we elected to dine in Monty's Inn, which belongs to the hotel and adjoins the main building. We enjoyed our meal there, but the menu was of the kind you might expect from a superior pub restaurant. Monty's Inn welcomes dogs. Whilst we have nothing against such creatures, and their presence didn't spoil our dining experience, we would nevertheless have preferred to dine in a less doggy setting.

The hotel was clean and - despite its august history, having entertained such distinguished guests as General de Gaulle, Rider Haggard and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - we found the staff delightful and not at all standoffish. Documents relating to the Home Guard during World War II were displayed on the walls of the corridor leading to our room: a further link with a fascinating history.

The Montagu Arms Hotel provided a tranquil but homely retreat in the New Forest. The room was spacious with a very comfy sofa, a good sized bathroom and a view over the peaceful garden. The complementary flapjack was a tasty touch.
The staff could not have been more helpful or pleasant - nothing was too much trouble.
I would be happy to recommend this hotel to anyone - I felt we received excellent value for money and will definitely return.

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our stay at the hotel so memorable. We had a really wonderful weekend and loved every minute. The room was beautiful and the kids loved all the extra surprises.

We wanted a weekend away in a small hotel, pub with rooms to complement our visit to the Motor Museum and Palace House - the Montagu Arms was just right and our package included the tickets too. The Hayloft Suite was spacious with a view of the delightful garden as well as being quiet.

Monty's Inn served delicious food with a good menu to suit a vegetarian with friendly professional service.

Although we're not dog owners, we noted how the hotel provided extras for those who were accompanied by the pets, and same for children - all very thoughtful.

As well as working well for visiting the Beaulieu estate, there's an added bonus of a the footpath to Bucklers Hard for our walk in the afternoon. Add in the ponies and donkeys wandering around nearby and it made for a perfect trip.

A great stay. Friendly, efficient staff and good quality food, and truly dog friendly. This was our first stay in a hotel with our spaniel and we were made to feel very welcome. We will be back soon!

My partner and I stayed here for Valentines Day and had the most wonderful time. The service was absolutely impeccable and all the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed.
The food in the Terrace restaurant was superb. We would recommend the beef, it was cooked to perfection!

Really enjoyed our stay here. A lovely relaxing atmosphere in the hotel, friendly staff who made us feel very welcome and two super meals at the attached Monty’s Inn. Particular highlight were the eight donkeys who arrived at the hotel one afternoon! Would definitely recommend and hope to return maybe in the summer when we could enjoy the beautiful garden too.

We stayed for one night in the Hayloft Barn Suite for my husbands 40th birthday. Everything was fantastic, the room was beautiful and clean, they had even left a birthday card for him too which was so kind of them. The food was fantastic, they accommodated to us not being drinkers and provided alternatives for the G&T afternoon tea I had booked as a surprise. All the staff were so kind throughout our stay and I would highly recommend staying here. We will certainly be booking again.

This is a lovely private hotel and the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and relaxed. The rooms are wonderful and spacious and have a homey feel. The gardens are beautiful and despite being here in the deepest of winter, we felt the benefit of the well cared for garden and patios.

The restaurant was a great surprise as the food was delicious and the service was perfect.

Definitely recommend for a stay in the New Forest.

We had our Christmas wedding at the Montagu Arms and couldn’t have been happier! The team were incredibly accommodating and organised — everything ran smoothly, and they responded promptly to all our emails. They were also very flexible when we needed to make changes, which made the planning process so stress-free.

When our cake was accidentally damaged in transit, the staff handled it seamlessly and fixed it without any fuss. On top of that, they kindly upgraded our room free of charge, which was such a lovely surprise.

From start to finish, the Montagu Arms made our wedding feel special, effortless, and truly memorable. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Went for afternoon tea with friends & had a really great time. All staff were friendly & helpful & nothing was too much trouble. Definitely recommend

The Montagu Arms is a beautiful hotel set in lovely grounds. Spotlessly clean with ample parking.
The staff were a joy to deal with and every single one of them made us feel welcome.
We stayed in Courtyard Suite that was spacious and tastefully decorated.
We will definitely stay again and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.
