This was a wonderful hotel. We had 2 junior suites at a last minute rate, and it was fantastic. Staff are excellent and could not fault our stay in any way.

We stayed at The Montagu Arms for our 1st Wedding Anniversary and had a wonderful time (there was even a card in our room from the hotel when we arrived). We had a warm welcome from Sally Moss and during our stay each member of staff was attentive and very pleasant. The rooms are beautiful - all individually decorted. We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tea sat in the conservatory, it was so peaceful looking out over the gardens.

In the evening we had a nice meal in Monty's and then retired to the bar.

The stay at The Montagu Arms was perfect and we would go back!

It is no exaggeration to say that this is one of the best hotels my wife and I have ever stayed in - and we have stayed in a few! This hotel is a real gem. The rooms are beautifully laid out and blissfully comfortable, the lounge downstairs is the kind of place you could spend the whole weekend (and we nearly did since it rained most of the time!), and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. All of this would make it a place to recommend but the real draw has to be the oak-panelled restaurant - really atmospheric and the food is superb. It won Hampshire restaurant of the year and we could see why. All in all, we had a brilliant time and we'll definitely be back.

We stayed just one night at this very nice hotel,the staff are very helpful and friendly. We had booked dinner in the terrace restaraunt @ £48 per head and we soon realised the cheff was very much out of his depth. The food to put it mildly was awefull,
he was trying to achieve michelin star qaulity without michelin star talent. Why they don't just stick to good honest cooking instead of trying to be a Ramsey or some french master I don't know. It appeared the menu was written by Shaun Hill pitty he didn't cook it.
A shame because the hotel is very nice indeed.
