Promotional feature: The art of hospitality in the heart of the New Forest with Greenclose Hotels

Nestled in the enchanting landscapes of the New Forest, Greenclose Hotels group boasts two outstanding Hampshire hotels - the iconic Montagu Arms Hotel in Beaulieu and the luxurious Careys Manor Hotel & SenSpa in Brockenhurst. But what sets these hotels apart? Step into the world of Greenclose Hotels, where the art of hospitality weaves together family values, community support, and a commitment to excellence.

A Legacy of Homegrown Hospitality

Greenclose Hotels is far from your typical hotel group. Since the 60s/70s, the Montagu Arms Hotel and Careys Manor Hotel & SenSpa have been under the loving guidance of the same family for generations. This family ownership infuses the hotels with a sense of warmth, care, and a commitment to preserving the buildings’ respective cherished heritage. It's a testament to their enduring principles of delivering exceptional experiences that have stood the test of time.

Aside from their Hampshire hotels, Greenclose has a four-star traditional seafront hotel in Llandudno, North Wales – The Imperial. Full of Victorian charm and the first-class service you can expect from the Greenclose group, this hotel makes the perfect seaside escape.

Supporting Local Charities and Communities

Beyond providing exceptional guest experiences, Greenclose Hotels strives to hold a deep connection with the local community. Engaging in local events and supporting local charities is a cornerstone of their values. From supporting local suppliers to championing local causes, Greenclose Hotels Group is committed to making a positive impact in Hampshire and the New Forest. It's not only about exceptional hospitality but also about nurturing and giving back to the communities they call home.

Amongst other local charity initiatives, the group donates stays at their hotels to Room to Reward – a scheme that recognises the unsung heroes of our communities.

Celebrating Local Produce and Sustainable Practices

Greenclose Hotels group takes pride in celebrating the bounties of the New Forest and Hampshire region. Embracing a farm-to-table philosophy, the hotels in the group source fresh, seasonal ingredients from local producers, supporting the region's food economy, and the Montagu Arms even has its own kitchen garden. It's a commitment to sustainability that ensures every bite tells a story of the New Forest's richness. The chefs across the group’s celebrated restaurants – the Terrace Restaurant and Monty’s Inn at the Montagu Arms Hotel, and Cambium, Zen Garden and Le Blaireau at Careys Manor Hotel & SenSpa all believe in fresh, flavoursome ingredients, and carefully craft seasonal dishes that are prepared with passion.

Both hotels welcome locals into all their restaurants – not just hotel residents. Discover dining at Careys Manor Hotel & SenSpa here and dining at the Montagu Arms here.

The dedication to hospitality is palpable in every interaction, from the warm smiles of the reception staff to the exquisite attention to detail in every hotel room.

The group invites locals and guests to become part of their extended family, creating lasting memories and forging timeless connections. Planning a wedding?
