The Montagu Arms Hotel

Wow 🤩 we had the most perfect stay here - the room was stunning and the atmosphere is very nice, but relaxed at the same time. We came to celebrate a 30th birthday and the staff had left us champagne and a hand written card in the room. Breakfast was delicious and the place was spotless. Cannot recommend enough.

We held our (small) wedding at the hotel, and it was a lovely experience from start to finish. The organisation was smooth and professional, and the staff on the day who looked after us were delightful. We had a number of rooms, and they were all well presented and perfectly clean and tidy - even the dogs approved. Food was very good, which I was impressed with as it was a group meal. The team gave us a wedding in a very relaxed atmosphere - I couldn't have asked for more.

I stayed at this hotel for 7 nights. The room was very nice and comfortable. It was quiet and the staff was extremely friendly. In the mornings the staff would make sure the continental breakfast was ready for 7am instead of 7:30 bc that is when I needed to have breakfast. It was a nice and thoughtful touch that made my stay pleasant. I appreciate their attention to detail and helpfulness during my stay. I would recommend this place to anyone that will be in the area. I will come back to stay when I am traveling this area again.

The Montagu Arms Hotel is steeped in history which you appreciate immediately as you step inside this wonderful place. But first, you must take time to survey the wonderful gardens, parts of which have not changed for 100 years ! The photos on display along the corridors relay this hotel's rich history. The staff are lovely and the food is excellent - even the continental breakfast is a feast ! Excellent.

Amazing stay at the hotel, the staff were very attentive and the room was beautiful. The food in the restaurant was fabulous, nice pub next door too and some great food spots in the village. Really good continental breakfast too - didn’t need the cooked one. Beaulieu itself is a stunning place. Made our engagement celebrations very special!

My Husband and I had such a lovely experience at the Montagu Arms for our 15th Anniversary. The staff at reception were so friendly and helpful. The Lunge/Bar area was a lovely place to relax after a walk by the fire. The room was lovely and big and had good sized wardrobes and dressers if you wished to unpack. We would love to come back in the summer as the gruonds and garden look lovely to relax in

We had a fantastic stay in The Montagu arms, from the moment we arrived the staff were warm, friendly and attentive giving a feeling of old fashioned luxury. The hotel is a beautiful building in a very pretty setting with a choice of two restaurants, both with great food. The room was also great, clean, comfortable with everything we needed. Overall a lovely experience and we will return. Thank you

Genuinely dog-friendly, wonderful place to say. Spacious hotel with lots of character. Plenty of outdoor areas to potter about in. Our room exceeded our expectations - amazing bathroom! Staff are welcoming and attentive. The dog bed and hamper for our greyhound were both thoroughly enjoyed. We genuinely really enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

I have just celebrated my birthday with a wonderful stay at the Montagu Arms, and what a fantastic stay it was - happy birthday me!! We chose the Montagu Arms because of it's location in the quaint village of Beaulieu, and because it was home to the Michelin star restaurant, The Terrace (review to follow shortly). The building itself dates from the 17th Century and the gardens that surround it are stunning, even on a grey, rainy March afternoon. As soon as we arrived, we were made to feel extremely welcome. The hotel had upgraded us to their suit!! I didn't realise until later that they must have noticed my date of birth on the booking form and did this as a special treat for my birthday, it really was the most lovely surprise. Our luggage was taken up and we were shown around our room, or should I say rooms...! Delightful bedroom with a four poster bed, and dual aspect windows with views over the gardens, a separate living room, and two bathrooms!! I have never stayed in such a big area. The rooms are a little dated in their decor but this just adds to the charm as far as I am concerned. The bar, lounge and dining room are also exquisite and a delight to spend time in, an all the staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a feast with a selection of cooked dishes available, in addition to homemade granola, fruit, pastries, breads and cheeses. I went for the smoked salmon and scrambled egg, on top of all the other treats available, and couldn't eat for the rest of the day! On check out, we were presented with a little paper bag with water and apples for our onward journey. It's simple touches like this that make a stay memorable and ensure repeat customers, although we may need to save the pennies as its not the cheapest option obviously!

My favorite place to stay in the UK. Hands down. A little treasure in the New Forest. The accommodations are quaint and comfortable. Every room is different and unique but all are beautiful. The staff is welcoming and made me feel comfortable from the start and after any visits, I feel like a regular. The garden is beautiful. The restaurant is wonderful. Monty's Pub is a favorite. The only downside...occasionally a wild pony or donkey may block the driveway. And I love it!!!

The Montague Arms is all about the little things like welcoming you at the door and showing you to your room while giving a mini tour and history of the place. They exceed customer expectations of always being friendly and attentive yet discreet when needed.They set the bar high! I loved the homemade biscuits, weather updates on our pillows, turn down service and my free newspaper. Not to forget, the brown paper bag of water and apples for our journey as we left. There are two restaurant located in the hotel, the Terrace with one Michelin star and brasserierie style Monty's Inn. The outdoor area is perfect in the warmer periods for high tea or drinks where you can watch the sparrows play in the garden.   Monty's Inn is more informal and suited us fine for the first night. Although we had a few lost in translation moment with our young French waiter, the meal was enjoyable and memorable. You can also use the gym, pool and spa facilities at their sister hotel, Carey's Manor Hotel & Spa in Brockenhurst, approximately 15 minutes away. The gym is airconditioned and if you're lucky, you might be able to join in on some exercise classes in the studio's. Although Beaulieu isn't a big village - a real blink and you'd miss it, it has charm that only a small place could replicate. Make sure to check out the chocolate shop, Patricks Patch - a communal garden and Steff's kitchen located opposite which uses the gardens produce.

Great atmosphere, good service, maybe more sandwich & less cake ... But very nice. Pot of gunpowder tea to go with it ... Great ambience :-)
