Christmas In The Forest

Indulge in the spirit of the season with our food offerings tailored for a memorable Christmas get-together in Hampshire. From our festive afternoon tea adorned with seasonal treats, to traditional Christmas dinners perfect for bringing family and friends together during the festive season, The Montagu Arms Hotel is the perfect place to book for your festive gathering.

Nobody should be made to feel stressed during the festive season; a time for cheer and relaxation. Let us take on the burden of planning and hosting, and put on a Christmas party to remember. Our private party rooms are perfect for formal dining, relaxed festive celebrations, and even a yuletide afternoon tea for a group. Whatever your needs, we’re happy to help meet them with festive merriment and joy!

Our festive breaks are now fully booked, but there’s no reason why you can’t get way ahead of the curve and think ahead to next year if you’re sorry to have missed out. We are more than happy to take enquiries for Christmas 2025!

Embrace the enchanting allure of the New Forest with our bespoke Christmas and New Year’s breaks, created to offer a perfect blend of relaxation and festivities. Steeped in 17^th century history, the atmosphere is almost naturally festive within our walls, but we are still partial to some lovely decorations and roaring log fires of course!

We are seasoned experts at creating a wonderfully traditional Christmas – just read our reviews…

"My friend and I stayed at the Montagu Arms Hotel, as two single women and a dog, as part of a Christmas 4-day package. We had a truly fabulous time. The rooms were lovely and immaculate and the food truly delicious."

"Magical pre Christmas get away at the beautiful Montagu Arms hotel in Beaulieu. The room was spacious and thoughtfully designed with a large bathroom, very comfortable bed and direct access to the gardens for our dog. Location is amazing, picture postcard village with a quaint high street and driving distance to all the main points of interest."

"We spent this Christmas - our second - at the Montagu Arms. We had a wonderful time, all so beautifully organised for the Christmas festivities, from the warm welcome when we arrived on Xmas eve, starting with Christmas afternoon tea to the Boxing Day breakfast when we left.
Would certainly stay again - at any time of year, not just Christmas!"
