Month Of The Pooch: What's On This August

Are you and your furry friend ready for a month filled with tail-wagging fun and pawsitively fantastic adventures in the New Forest? The Montagu Arms Hotel is rolling out the red carpet (or should we say the green grass?) for all our four-legged visitors this August. From dog-friendly water activities and guided walks to delicious treats and special offers, there's something to get every pup's tail wagging.

From Saturday 3rd to Sunday 11th August, our hotel garden will play host to Jude's Ice Cream Cart, offering delectable frozen treats for all our guests—both humans and canines alike! Treat yourself and your furry friend to some of Jude's delicious ice cream and enjoy a relaxing afternoon surrounded by the beauty of the New Forest. It's an experience that will leave you and your pup feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, ready for more exciting adventures in the days to come.

The week of the 12th is when we'll be putting the spotlight on our adventurous canine friends with Woof and Paddle: Dogs on Water - available throughout the month of August. Embrace the spirit of the New Forest as your furry companion gets to experience the thrill of canoeing on the tranquil waters of Beaulieu River. Our friends at New Forest Activities will be conducting guided group tours to ensure you and your pooch have a safe and exhilarating time. Whether you're a local looking for a new adventure or a visitor seeking to explore the area, this is an activity that will leave both you and your pup barking for more.

If you are staying with us as a guest, you will also be entitled to a 10% discount on bookings with New Forest Activities - just ask at reception for more details or give us a call.

On Wednesday 21st August, the Montagu Arms Hotel invites you and your pooch to join us for The Great Beaulieu Dog Walk—a leisurely stroll through the picturesque New Forest, starting from the hotel and heading to the historic Buckler’s Hard. You and your furry friend will be greeted with complimentary tea, coffee, and dog treats to kick start the day. It's the perfect opportunity to meet like-minded dog owners, explore the local area, and create lasting memories with your four-legged friend. Plus, there’ll be more refreshments and Jude’s dog-friendly ice cream served up on your return to the hotel to end the walk on a high.
