A really lovely place to stay, good car park lovely gardens, and a characterful hotel. The staff are welcoming and excellent, rooms are well appointed and we had a very comfy bed. Had a nice meal at Monty’s. The breakfast buffet is excellent with plenty choice of quality fruits cheeses, breads, meats, everything. We really enjoyed our visit it exceeded our expectations

Stayed here for 3 nights, we booked the hayloft room. The staff were all very traditional and attentive, the room was fantastic with upstairs sitting area and a very large bathroom. Complimentary sloe gin and water a nice touch. Continental Breakfast included, was plentiful and excellent quality. Thank you for our stay.

We stayed at the hotel for our wedding and my birthday combined, and it was our best ever hotel experience. The setting is glorious, the atmosphere excellent, the service impeccable and the room was amazing. The staff were especially good, being very friendly and attentive to all our needs. Special details like champagne for my birthday, wedding and birthday cards made it all the more memorable. We will never forget our wedding at the Montagu, and intend to return for our first anniversary.

Genuinely dog-friendly, wonderful place to say. Spacious hotel with lots of character. Plenty of outdoor areas to potter about in. Our room exceeded our expectations - amazing bathroom! Staff are welcoming and attentive. The dog bed and hamper for our greyhound were both thoroughly enjoyed. We genuinely really enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

Back bar/garden is lovely with the water feature in a sunny day. I would say the hotel as a whole is feeling pretty dated, a lot of the room furniture feels like from the 80’s. Did not try the cooled breakfast but the continental breakfast was very good. Great location for a trip out of the city.
