Overview

With opulent yet relaxing surroundings and glorious gardens, this is a quintessentially English country house experience. It's the little touches that make them so special. Arrive to their bespoke scent: a woody, smoky fragrance that reflects the oak panelling and polished herringbone parquet flooring and the gentle tick of a grandfather clock. The award-winning Terrace Restaurant showcases the rich larder of the forest, coast and country. Sumptuous bedrooms combine comfort with sophistication creating the perfect space to unwind.

The Montagu Arms is a 4 star country house hotel renowned for its warm atmosphere and truly dog-friendly welcome. A family-owned hotel with over 200 years of history, The Montagu Arms is a rural retreat in Beaulieu in the heart of the New Forest National Park which makes the perfect getaway for you and your four legged friend. There are plenty of characterful touches including oak panelling, polished, herringbone parquet and the tick of a longcase clock. You can enjoy the Victorian-style Magnolia Lounge or take tea in the conservatory overlooking the garden. The extensive House Menu can be enjoyed wherever you feel most comfortable. Whether that's with the family and dog in tow at our country pub, Monty's, alfresco in our English country garden or in our smart wood-panelled dining room, The Terrace.

There are 15 en-suite dog-friendly bedrooms, furnished in country house style, including one renovated barns with two duplex suites overlooking the garden as well as nine newly designed courtyard rooms. Outside is just as restful. As well as exploring the many trails in the New Forest, the hotel has a delightful Gertrude Jekyll-inspired garden for your dog to explore, which features a fountain, croquet lawn as well as a kitchen garden.

Fiona, Hampshire, stayed: March 2024

The outstanding feature of this Hotel is the staff, they were welcoming , friendly, helpful but not intrusive. My husband became ill during our stay and the Manager was very considerate. The rooms were very nice and comfortable, the food was good and the location lovely. No complaints and I will (and have) reccomended. The booking agency were also very efficient and helpful, a big plus all round.
