4-star historic hotel in the New Forest dating back to 1742
Accommodation
The hotel offers 33 rooms, including Courtyard Retreat rooms with private garden access and Courtyard Suites that feature a separate bath and walk-in rain shower. Rooms in the main building retain traditional character with four-poster beds and views of the village or gardens. Each Courtyard Suite provides a spacious galleried bedroom, wall-to-floor glass windows, and a bathroom with a freestanding bath and bidet.
Dining
The Terrace Restaurant serves a menu of seasonal, locally sourced ingredients in a wood-panelled dining room overlooking the courtyard garden. Monty's Inn, a country pub attached to the hotel, welcomes families and dogs with a relaxed atmosphere and a separate dog menu. Afternoon tea is served in the garden or conservatory, and an in-house chef prepares gourmet cuisine inspired by local produce.
Pet-Friendly Amenities
Dogs are accommodated at no extra cost and receive a bed, feeding bowls, treats, and a sausage at breakfast. Designated pet washing areas are available, and the hotel provides pet baskets and bowls throughout the property. Many rooms offer direct garden access for late-night walks, and Monty's Inn allows dogs in the bar and dining areas.
Gardens & Grounds
The hotel maintains a walled garden with a water feature, sun terrace, and outdoor furniture for alfresco lunches and drinks. A full-time gardener tends the flower beds and lawns, creating a setting for nature walks and relaxed afternoons. The garden connects to a footpath leading to Bucklers Hard along the Beaulieu River.

The hotel sits in the centre of Beaulieu village, a 5-minute walk from the National Motor Museum, Palace House, and Beaulieu Abbey.
