Picturesque views over the river Avon, Christchurch Castle and the King Arms Bowling Green await at this laid back, country pub and hotel. It also has panoramic views of the yachts moored in at Christchurch Quay and provides an intimate setting with plenty of romance.

Dating back to 1813, The Kings Arms is a couple-owned, award-winning wedding venue in Dorset that promises to make your wedding a magical day. After undergoing an extensive refurbishment in 2007, it now blends old with new with true finesse.
