The Montagu Arms Hotel

Spent three nights with our flat coated retriever in a courtyard suite. Very nice room with direct access to the garden. Staff are all really friendly and the dining options were very good. Monty’s offered good quality food without being typical pub food and the Terrace restaurant offered really good food so we did not eat anywhere else. Would happily stay here again.

Just spent the night in the hay loft bedroom for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was a beautiful room in an amazing hotel. We took our two dogs and the staff were so attentive and lovely - it made our weekend. Everything was so well thought out and accommodating. Highly recommended, especially if you have furry friends.

A dog friendly wedding venue in the heart of the New Forest, yes please! I photographed a wedding here recently and it was utterly spectacular. The setting, the location, the attention to detail inside as well as in the gardens... 10/10. This was without the efforts the couple had made to make it theirs for the day too. Ultimately it's the staff behind the scenes who can make or break the success of a wedding day, this lot were excellent. Their ability to plan ahead and problem solve before the problems even arose was fantastic, polite and professional throughout. They made the day even more special for the couple which in turn made my life easier. Even the dinner for the suppliers was fatastic! Thanks team, I'll be back to wine and dine sometime with my wife :) - Dave Zaple Photography

Between amazing and superb! On our way to Cornwall decided to take a stop, and what a spot! Brilliant setup, so much greenery and good taste. We went for a Beaulieu river walk recommended by the hotel and we just got back in time for a superb dinner. We had the guide dog all set by the hotel staff, we were really impressed! Also the treats in the room exceeded all expectations. So happy to experience this truly unique place!

We weren't staying at the Hotel or even planning to have lunch, rather we turned up spontaneously after an aborted walk at 11.59 am last Sunday , 22 of us including 10 children under 8, without a booking for a drink at the Montagu Pub. After the initial shock the staff were awesome. The planned drinks quickly turned to we need lunch after the more responsible parents amongst us said the Children needed to eat. The bar in the pub felt more Hotel lounge than bar but this was the only but. The food and service were exceptional. I've been to many gastro pubs and after a brief golden 30 years ago , most are average foodwise these days. This was not true of the Montagu arms. So a big shout out to the staff and the chefs in the kitchen. I would make a detour to come here again because the burgers were the best I have had. The fish and chips were also excellent and next time we will make a plan to actually have a proper lunch and try some of the other things on the menu. We loved it and will come back.
