New Forest

an away day destination oozing with character

The hotel's origins can be traced back to the 17th century when it was originally built as a private residence. The New Forest itself has a long history of royal connections and was once a favorite hunting ground for kings and nobles. The hotel gets its name from the Montagu family, who were prominent landowners in the area. It is believed that the Montagu family owned the property at some point, which led to the hotel being named after them. Over time, the property transitioned from a private residence to an inn and then eventually into the luxury hotel it is today. Like many historic properties, the Montagu Arms Hotel has undergone numerous renovations and modernisations over the years to keep up with changing tastes and standards of hospitality. These renovations likely enhanced its facilities while preserving its historic charm.
