The Montagu Arms Hotel

With opulent surroundings and historic features at every turn, your guests will arrive to oak panelling, polished, herringbone parquet, the tick of a longcase clock and a crackling fire in winter.

We have 33 en-suite bedrooms, all different, some including four-poster beds, and every one designed to make you feel completely at home. Outside is just as restful. Dine al-fresco for your wedding breakfast in our Gertrude Jekyll-inspired gardens, listen to the pond fountain designed by Giuseppe Lund, play a game of croquet on the upper terrace, sip Champagne under the magnolia tree or join the chef in our kitchen garden. The Terrace Restaurant offers an unparalleled dining experience for your wedding day. Expect modern-British dishes fused with delicate touches of innovation and an exciting range of flavours, textures and aromas; food you will be talking about for years to come.

Uncover the secret to a most sensational day; exquisitely prepared cuisine from The Terrace Restaurant shared with the ones you love most.

Our wedding breakfast menus are created to capture the essence of the local area. Pork is sourced from Pondhead farm in nearby Lyndhurst, rainbow trout comes from the River Test, and herbs and vegetables are plucked from the garden. Our kitchen operates a zero food waste policy, creating innovative dishes that celebrate every part of these exceptional ingredients. Nose to tail and root to tip menus pay homage to the nurturing hands of our growers and producers and our amazing New Forest larder.

The Montagu Arms Hotel is available for private exclusive hire for your quintessential English wedding. Our beautiful 17th century country house hotel can be your own home from home where memories will be made amongst only your closest friends and loved ones. Our experienced team offer you their undivided attention and undisputed service to ensure that your day is nothing short of unforgettable and the one they talk of for years to come.

In the main house, discover 22 bedrooms rich with traditional English character and considerate touches.

Outside within the grounds of The Montagu Arms are 2 luxury duplex suites housed within an 1820s barn. The Hayloft Suites feature interior design inspired by the British countryside combined with beautiful features such as free standing baths and views of our Gertrude Jekyll-inspired gardens. Meanwhile, 9 Courtyard studios and suites seamlessly blend timeless elegance with contemporary elements. Residing around a central courtyard garden, outside and inside flow together to create a harmonious layout connecting the natural surroundings of the outdoors with design inspired by the flora and fauna of the national park.

In the event of cancellation by the client, the hotel will undertake to mitigate its losses and to re-let the function room(s) with similar catering arrangements. The client will be responsible for the loss incurred by the hotel in the event that the function rooms remain unoccupied, or are occupied at a lower income level for the hotel, on the date booked. The cancellation charges imposed by the hotel will therefore reflect the actual loss. Any postponement of confirmed and contracted business will be treated as a cancellation.
