We couldn't fault the service, nothing was too much trouble. We had supper in the pub and the food was delicious, so much so that we couldn't manage a full breakfast the next day which was a pity. We will certainly be staying at the Montagu Arms again. The location was perfect

We had a lovely one night stay. Room was clean and bathroom was excellent with lovely toiletries. Bathrobes and slippers also in bathroom. Bed very comfortable. Complimentary tea, coffee and water, also had homemade flapjacks. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast good with lots of options. In a good position in Beaulieu with a footpath at the back of car park that led to Buckler’s Hard.

Absolutely Beautiful Hotel! Loved everything about the property, staff and small town it's located in. We considered adding on a day to our trip because the experience was so good, but couldn't fit it in to our schedule. The only minor gotcha... the spa attractions depicted in the advertisement are not on premise. You have to travel down the road just a bit to take advantage of them. This being the case, we didn't have time to enjoy the spa.

Everyone on the staff is excellent, and the food delicious. We have stayed before and will again. The gardens are a treat, so well looked after, and the gardener is such an asset, we had good conversations with him about his work, and his ethos for the garden, many ideas to take home.

A beautiful building in a lovely setting. We felt so relaxed from the moment we entered the garden from the car park. On a sunny summers day/evening we enjoyed sitting around the outside terrace overlooking the gorgeous gardens. Our room was the best we have ever stayed in. So much space, everything immaculate. So lovely to have the choice of bath or separate shower unit.

Offered an upgrade to Courtyard suite room 24 hours before due to a cancellation, for a reduced supplement, which we were pleased to accept. Very comfortable and modern accommodation - huge and well equipped bathroom and comfy seating area with large smart TV. WiFi was good and the (largely) table service breakfast was varied and cooked to order. All the staff seem happy in their roles and well adapted to cater for customer satisfaction. Special mention to Vincent who made check in so easy. We will be back for a longer stay if we can get a good price for the Courtyard Suites.

Been here a few times over the past couple of years and it’s always been great and this time was just as amazing. Great hotel and we had a great room and then moved to another great room, nothing to do with the hotel just one of us had an injury and hadn’t said anything in advance and we needed something different if possible. Step in Vincent, he was on the front desk/reception and you couldn’t ask for a more caring/lovely person, his energy and thoughtfulness seem to have no limits. So he listened and then went way out of his way to help. Breakfast was fab and lovely staff. Highly recommend this hotel, I will be returning again, hopefully soon!!

Welcoming, comfortable and great location. However some penny pinching on room service - only two teabags??? However promptly remedied on request. Terrace Restaurant food was average at best and overpriced. Definitely not fine dining that it aspires to be. Overall need to up their game on gluten free options. On positives side reasonable breakfast and Monties pub a much better proposition for eating.

The evening meal was was expensive but good. The wine prices were prohibitive. We only wanted glasses from the per glass list but bought a bottle which was good but the per glass price was obviously designed to make us do that. We dined elsewhere on the remaining two nights of our stay. Breakfast was excellent.
