The Montagu Arms, Beaulieu, New Forest

The hotel operates two on-site dining venues. The Terrace Restaurant serves dishes crafted by an in-house chef using locally sourced ingredients from the New Forest. Monty's Inn is a relaxed country pub that welcomes families and pets, offering a separate dog menu. The hotel also provides an afternoon tea service in its picturesque gardens.

Accommodations include 33 rooms, with categories such as the Hayloft suite and Courtyard rooms. The Juniper and Cherry rooms offer garden views, while some suites have four-poster beds and large bathrooms with separate tubs. Each room includes complimentary flapjacks, bottled water, and White Company toiletries.

The hotel sits in Beaulieu village, within walking distance of the National Motor Museum, Bucklers Hard Maritime Museum, and Beaulieu Abbey. Guests can explore the New Forest via bicycle rental, cycling routes, or the adjacent golf course. A footpath from the car park leads directly to Bucklers Hard, and New Forest ponies and donkeys roam the village streets.

The hotel accommodates dogs at no extra cost and provides pet beds, bowls, and treat boxes in the room. Monty's Inn offers a dog menu, and dogs are allowed in the pub and the conservatory during breakfast. Staff are trained to fuss over pets, and the hotel's garden and surrounding walks are easily accessible for dog owners.

The hotel maintains well-kept cottage gardens with a courtyard fountain and outdoor seating. Guests receive complimentary access to Carey Manor Spa, located nearby, for swimming and wellness facilities. The gardens also provide space for afternoon tea, alfresco lunch, and wedding receptions.
