COUNTRY PUB COMFORTS
Since the 16th Century there has always been an Inn on the site of the Montagu Arms. Originally a meeting place for farmers, timber traders and parish officers, the Inn was very much the heart of Beaulieu and still remains as prominent today. Country fare using fresh, local and organic ingredients and classic English favourites combine with hand pulled local ales to provide the cosy country pub atmosphere that Monty s Inn has become renowned for amongst locals and visitors alike. Take advantage of the Inn s ideal location and enjoy something a little more laid back to retire to after your exploration of the beautiful New Forest.
