You are paying for the location - and paying quite a bit. Room classed as a "snug" I'd agree.

Fantastic hotel with wonderful gardens. Great location for visiting the local attractions. Staff were welcoming, friendly and polite. Food in both Monty's Bar and the Terrace Restaurant was outstanding. Highly recommended - looking forward to visiting again.

Delicious breakfast, clean room, everything we needed. Excellent location: Beautiful gardens.

Loved the old building in the quaint village. Central for lots of interesting days out

Great stay

Amazing hotel, and extremely dog friendly. The staff were lovely and very helpful, the rooms were comfortable, warm and clean and the bathroom was amazing and a great place to relax after a day of walking.

We enjoyed everything at the hotel. The rooms are a bit dated but I didn't mind that too much - it added to the charm because everything worked absolutely fine (shower, TV, kettle). The dining room is very grand and the food exceptional. The staff in the restaurant were super. Most of the staff elsewhere in the hotel were very good and welcoming. However, the service at the bar was the weakest point. I think maybe the woman was just having a bad day but she a) didn't know how to make the cocktail I chose from their menu (which isn't had issue but did mean a bit of a wait) b) when she asked for guidance from a colleague he seemed to be quite irritated with her and it was made from a pre-mix (which surprised me for £16:50) c) I had to go back up to the bar to get it as she reached across the bar and said "here" which considering the bar was very small and there were no other customers seemed a bit 'off' - I think she could've just served it to us in our seats (as the other staff had previously done). She was also very abrupt to other customers and it just meant the experience wasn't very relaxing as these conversations were being had at volume in a tiny bar. We just decided to leave and go in early to dinner (which we really enjoyed). There was a new bartender in the Monty Inn and he needed help with processing a voucher - but unlike the bar in the main hotel - he was very professional and we were able to relax while he got things sorted for us. We were impressed.

Beautiful hotel in a great location, very clean and staff amazing.

Everything was lovely and the staff were super lovely...will definitely be back. Thank you

Room was cozy. Staff is kind and made us feel at home, Vicente gave us brilliant recommendations in the area. Delicious breakfast.

Absolute gem of a hotel. One night was not enough, from the sumptuous breakfast, delicious dinner and outstanding friendly staff, we had a truly memorable stay.

Helpful staff, clean and comfortable room

Nice hotel in new forest

The excellent service from all of the staff we encountered stood out for us.

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

Beautiful property in a very pretty village in the New Forest

Liked the premises, setting, room comforts, meal quality. Disliked excessive waiting times for dinner order delivery

Very friendly and attentive staff. Food top class in the dining room for dinner and breakfast . Room was renovated but small enough . Mattress very soft

Excellent helpful staff. Very attentive and caring. Had a really lovely vegetarian meal. One of the best i have had (I am not a vegetarian). A really lovely garden to wander round or sit. Dog friendly. We will go back.

Hotel Staff...Gardner Peter, Restaurant Servers & Staff, & Receptionist were Extremely Pleasant & Professional. Thank-You for the the Attention to Detail...Beautiful White Linens in the Restaurants, Fresh Water at reception & the well manicured Gardens.
