The Longs Arms

The Longs Arms is a fantastic place for everybody, from the discerning ale drinker, to the family with a dog out for a meal together.

The 180ft enclosed garden provides the perfect setting for an English summer's day, and the play equipment at the far end keeps the children occupied, thus allowing you to relax even more!

Surrounding Area

The Longs Arms is ideally situated between Bath and Salisbury making it a perfect place to stop off for a drink or food, and an excellent place to stay. Longleat Safari Park is only a 20 minute drive away and the great wonder of Stonehenge is 25 minutes in the other direction. Salisbury Plain, a beautiful and fantastic area for walking is just 5 minutes by car. But if you fancy a bit more hustle and bustle, Bath is a 30 minute drive.

If you need bed and breakfast accommodation, the pub's fantastic and self catering is also available.

Functions

Since changing hands in May 2005, The Longs Arms has hosted four fantastic weddings. Two made use of the inside of the Pub, and the others were in the garden. There was over 100 guests yet there was still ample room in and around the marquee.
The function room opened in August 2011 and is a fantastic location for weddings, wakes, business meetings to name a few. The double doors opening onto the garden and the exposed timber beams are just two of the many features that make this far more than your average function room.

Caroline is also available for outside bars and catering.
