Occupying a peaceful spot next to the church in the centre of Tarrant Monkton village, The Langton Arms is wonderfully picturesque with its thatched roof and mellow brick walls. Dating back to the 17th century, this fine old hostelry has been under the caring ownership of Barbara Cossins and her husband, James, a local farmer, since 1992. The inn is well known for its excellent food _ based wherever possible on Dorset produce _ and its ever-changing selection of real ales. The separate Stables Restaurant is housed in an old converted stable and a conservatory and is open evenings, Wednesday to Saturday, and for Sunday lunch.

The restaurant/conservatory plus the Function Room and Skittles Alley lend themselves very well for wedding receptions and civil ceremonies, birthday and family celebrations, club and social evenings, conferences and small business meetings. The various options are suitable for parties from 12 to 100 people. The inn's picturesque appearance, its attractive grounds and the nearby ford and bridge, have all made it a popular venue for weddings. The inn offers an individual service to suit the needs of each couple and the various rooms or outside marquee enables them to cater for weddings large or small. There is plenty of parking space and good disabled access. The Langton Arms' unique approach to every wedding includes having their award-winning chef on hand to discuss any special preferences, and the inn also provides a dedicated member of staff to help guide you through your big day.

If you plan to stay in this scenic corner of the county, The Langton Arms has six luxury guest bedrooms built in rustic brick around an attractive courtyard. All are on the ground floor level with their own private entrance and a bay window looking out onto the Dorset countryside. The rooms are furnished to a high standard with full en suite bathrooms, colour TV and hospitality tray. If you prefer self-catering, within a short walk of the inn there's a separate cottage which can sleep up to eight guests.
