In the heart of Beaulieu, this Arts & Crafts building set in lovely gardens is one of the New Forest’s best known luxury hotels. You can eat pub grub in ‘Monty’s Inn’, but the main event is The Terrace: a comfortably plush dining room, which achieves good all-round (if limited) feedback for its traditional – but not super-expensive – fare, backed up by an impressive 300-bin wine list.

“You won’t be disappointed” by this pretty Arts and Crafts hotel which, say fans, remains “excellent in all areas”. New chef Matthew Whitfield arrived in 2019 fresh from a stint at Eleven Madison Park in New York, and delivers “very good” cuisine, much sourced from the organic kitchen garden.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"A traditional, historic, country inn that preserves its atmosphere and class. I especially liked the scallops starter with 2 large juicy scallops with a brown shrimp butter sauce, capers and samphire. Very good wine list too. "
