The Montagu Arms - Hotel in Hampshire
Palace Lane
Beaulieu, Brockenhurst, SO42 7ZL, Hampshire
England,
Regno Unito
The hotel dates to 1742, but was re-modelled in 1925, giving interiors an Arts & Crafts country-house feel. You'll find roaring fires and deep sofas, then a library bar and a courtyard garden where you can eat in summer. Smart bedrooms (some suites with sliding glass doors to the garden and newly-renovated rooms around the courtyard) come with period furniture, pretty fabrics, fresh flowers and robes in spotless bathrooms - good coffee machines and a decanter of sloe gin await.
Downstairs, ambrosial food in The Terrace Restaurant is locally-sourced (some homegrown in the gardens) and there are good veggie options. Try Monty's Inn if you want something simpler but equally good - you'll find an attractive bar and hand-pulled ales. Continental breakfast is included in the room price, The Full Monty is extra. Stroll 2 miles along the swan-filled river to Bucklers Hard, return to proper afternoon tea by the glowing fire.
Upstairs, there’s a comfy sitting room on the landing, then six simple bedrooms. All have smart carpets, wooden furniture, comfy beds and sparkling bathrooms. Delicious breakfasts are included in the room price, so fill your boots then head out for walks.
