We were upgraded to a lovely room with a sort of thai theme - had a canopied bed and lots of space. Bathroom was great too with really good lighting for make-up application. Everything was clean and tastefully decorated. The hotel is located in Beaulieu which is a picturesque village in the centre of the stunning New Forest countryside. The... more

Being a gastro snob and an afficionado of English country houses, I could not fail to impressed by The Montague Arms. I have stayed at almost all of the 4/5 star hotels in the New Forest area and I would definitely rate this hotel as the best of the bunch. It is difficult to find somewhere that rates highly on... more

We had a most enjoyable stay at this welcoming hotel in the New Forest. The staff were all helpful and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble and both the breakfast and evening meal were exceptional. We shall certainly return & I recommend it for a relaxing break at any time of the year. If funds allow I would suggest a... more

Didn't stay but went for special birthday lunch in August, and was very impressed with food and service. Some of the best food we'd had, served in pleasant surroundings by knowlegeable and helpful staff. Returned again in November, but sadly we were most disappointed. Restaurant staff had changed completely - did not recognise even one - and were inefficient (no... more

We visited the New Forest yesterday and then the 6 of us went to Beaulieu for tea. We chose the Montagu Arms Hotel and were very impressed with the service and tea. We had, during our 3 hours at the hotel, contact with 6 different members of staff. Every one was attentive, kind, considerate and obviously well trained and accustomed... more

We chose the hotel because of its location, character and its Michelin star restaurant. We were not disappointed. It was elegant, warm and welcoming and the suite that we had was beautiful. Children are welcome at the hotel but we went without ours and were pleased we did. It was the perfect venue for a romantic break. The staff were... more

What a lovely hotel, very elegant with lots of charm and character. Staff were fabulous and really attentive. You need to be used to being treated this way otherwise you could feel out of your depth and they only serve very posh people. However, we arrived in muddy riding gear and were not frowned upon. We had a problem with... more

Stayed one night on a dinner, bed & breakfast basis plus car parking with taxi to and from Southampton Cruise Terminal. Was contacted by hotel well in advance of stay to ascertain embarkation details, etc, always very pleasant. Nice room, very nice dinner & breakfast plus transfers were excellent. Cannot fault it at the price, especially after hearing what others... more

My wife and I enjoyed a very relaxing weekend at the Montagu Arms. It had been a few years since we'd stayed here due to our young family, but the place is even better than we remembered! The restaurant is much improved, and Monty's was very enjoyable as well The rooms could do with a little attention (decoration), but this... more
