Nestled amidst stunning countryside, this late 18th century British pub is beautifully set in the heart of the ancient village of Corton Denham, on the Somerset/Dorset border.
Three miles from the historic town of Sherborne, the ancient capital of Dorset, during your stay you can visit the town’s castles, Abbey and boutique shops. Also in the area is Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage site, which is just 45 minutes across the rolling Dorset Downs.
A pub with rooms, the Queen’s Arms prides itself on good food and drink in a traditional setting with real comfort. Enjoy a pint of ale and a pork pie by the open fire, tuck into a delicious meal in the dining room or simply rest for a night or 2 in one of the stylish rooms.
