The Montagu Arms

Dogs welcome in most of the house, the gardens and Monty's

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A 16th-century coaching inn turned country house hotel in Beaulieu village, beside the Beaulieu River. Dogs are welcome in the public areas, the gardens and Monty's Inn, the hotel's pub, so you can eat with the dog there. Only the Terrace Restaurant is off-limits. It suits people who want a village base with the dog included in almost everything.

Dogs are welcome in the hotel public areas, the gardens and Monty's, but not in the Terrace Restaurant. Dog rooms are the Hayloft Suites, Courtyard Retreats, Courtyard Suite and selected House Snugs. Housekeeping only comes in while you're in the room, so arrange a time with Reception.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
