Good Points: It was a treat to stay at The Montegu Arms - the staff couldn't have been more attentive and helpful. Cetainly the dinner we shared with friends who had come over with us to attend the same function (the installation of the new Vicar of Beaulieu) was a real high point of the visit. I must make special mention of the receptionist at the Hotel who was excellent in every way.
Bad Points: Not being able to stay longer! that was a real disappointment as the waether was so good and the surroundings so congenial.
Further Comments: I would say that we had a excellent experience. I had heard of the Hotel by reputation previously and it certainly measured up to standard. Many thanks.

Good Points: very olde world attractive hotel in a very nice location; the village itself quaint but little to see or do. The staff and service were very good with all staff being very helpful and pleasant. Delightful garden patio area.
Bad Points: The menu was limited and of a style that whilst i am sure being of very good quality, lacked consideration for those guests who may not enjoy rather exotic/rich foods but would enjoy top quality simpler foods. It seemed to me to be more of a Chef's personal statement as to his ability. The drinks in both the hotel and Montys bar were I feel overpriced and Monthy's bar was not exactly a glowing advert for the hotel, with cleanliness being an issue and the menu/specials menu not a great choice.
Further Comments: Generally a very nice hotel, accommodation very good, with the hotel staff being of good quality; let down a little by the choice in the menu and the cost of drinks and Montys bar.

Good Points: Clean,Comfortable,bright well decorated.
Bad Points: For a double room,two chairs to sit on in the room would be most welcome.A light over the mirror in the bathroom to assist shaving/make-up should be considered.
Further Comments: The food in the main restaurant was excellant,well cooked, presented, and delicious.The choice of food on the menu could have been more varied.I felt that the fixed price of ￂﾣ45 per person for the meal was a bit steep.

Good Points: Level of service was excellent with nothing too much trouble
Bad Points: Having both an electric toothbrush & shaver , bathroom did not have enough sockets to accommodate both.
Further Comments: I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel with all staff attentive at all times. The little touches such as a card on the bed informing on the weather the next day differentiates this hotel from many others.
