The Stapleton Arms

The personal touch

Tucked away down winding Dorset lanes, the village of Buckhorn Weston is home to the Stapleton Arms. It’s a real community hub that is rooted in village life, but it’s also the kind of place where visitors to the area will feel right at home. With leather sofas, roaring open fires, chunky oak tables and flickering fat candles, it’s easy to stick around longer than you intended, fuelled by the homemade pork pies and sausage rolls that sit temptingly on the bar. A piano in the corner of the bar is an invitation for the musically inclined, while board games can pass away an afternoon or chilly winter’s evening. When it comes to food and drink, the Stapleton’s pub credentials are complete and its connection to its environment well and truly confirmed – think local. That’s everything from ales to ciders, vodka to tea, and menus that combine proper British grub with a touch of panache. Whether you eat at a table in the bar or in the more formal dining room with its high ceilings and colourful artworks, there’s good food to be had. And with four smart bedrooms next door and a garden, the Stapleton Arms is an inn for all seasons.  
 

Sticky fingers

Two of the four bedrooms have sofa beds which are suitable for older children, and cots can be provided on request. Kids have their own menu, too, available at lunchtime and until 8 in the evening. There are games to be played in the garden during the summer months.
 

Muddy paws

Dogs are very welcome in the pub (dog biscuits on the bar), but our four-legged friends are not allowed in the bedrooms.
 

Alfresco

The rear garden overlooking fields and plays host to an annual conker contest in the first week of October, where competition is fierce and the work thirsty! Every other Saturday during the summer you’ll find a roast sizzling away outside, and there are outdoor games such as Connect 4 and giant Jenga to occupy the young and young at heart.
 

What’s on?

The Stapleton Arms has close links to the community, with fundraisers for the cricket club and a tug of war team, and there’s often something going on, from live music to quiz nights.

Room 3 has a funky bed, too, a nifty hand-made iron job. Every room is light and bright, with stylish fabrics and artworks, while the bathrooms are stocked with White Company towels and bathrobes.

Mastering the menu

When it comes to food, there’s a genuine sense of enthusiasm for regional produce, with a menu that combines respect for the traditions of pub dining, but updated to create feel-good dishes that satisfy in the 21st century. So the homemade burger is made from local beef and arrives with triple-cooked chips, toad-in-the-hole is hearty stuff, and the game pie is a good ‘un. A starter of potted hare with pickled cucumber and beef-dripping toast shows the serious intent of this kitchen. The seasonal and local boxes are ticked in most departments: salads are grown just down the road, eggs come from chickens who reside in the village, and a local chap dives for scallops. And if you want to see where they get the lamb from, take a look out of the window and you’ll see sheep out in the fields.  There are sandwiches, ploughman’s and lighter dishes up for grabs at lunchtimes. Sit wherever you like – bar, dining room or garden – and get a taste of the place.  
 

On the menu

Dorset bouillabaisse, rouille, soda bread £6.50
The Stapleton Arms beef burger with triple-cooked chips £12
Whole roast partridge, red cabbage, salt-baked turnip, blackberries & bacon potato cake £14.50
Haddock with a leek and potato mash, poached egg and king prawns £16
White peach and apple crumble with raspberry sorbet £6
 

Sunday Roasts

Rare-roasted Lagan Farm beef with homemade horseradish sauce and Yorkshire pudding
Slow-roasted pork belly with homemade apple sauce
 

Foodie extras

The garden affords plenty of opportunity for eating alfresco, and you’re in luck if you arrive on the right alternate Saturday during the summer to find a roast cooking outdoors in the garden. They’ll make you a picnic if you’re heading out for the day. Breakfast, packed full of local produce, is available to non-residents.

We reserve the right to edit any comments left by contributors to the site.


BOOKINGS AND VOUCHERS

Our site is an online platform that allows you to search for and book accommodation. We are acting as disclosed agent for the relevant inns featured on our site. This means that any booking or contractual arrangement you make with any entity featured on our site is made with that entity, and not with us. By entering information into the booking software, you authorise us to pass on all relevant information to those entities with whom you are seeking to make a reservation, and to control and/or process such data in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. In order to make a booking you are required to provide credit card details. We will enable the relevant inn to gain access to the credit card details via the site in the event of any cancellation and a cancellation charge is due. By making a booking you are expressly authorising access to and use of such data and for the relevant inn to deduct the cancellation charges notified to you in the event of a cancellation.

Bookings will be subject to the terms and conditions of the individual entity with whom you contract, including any cancellation polices they may apply. It is your responsibility to check the terms of such entities before you enter your contract with them. If you wish to cancel a booking, you must cancel using the site unless exceptional circumstances do not permit you to gain access to the site, in which case you should liaise directly with the inn concerned. In either case you may be liable for cancellation charges. Whenever your booking is cancelled whether directly or via the site, it is your responsibility to check your account with HIP to confirm the booking has been cancelled and to be notified of any relevant charges (and to pay them). If you do not attend the inn on the dates booked, this will be treated as a cancellation by the relevant inn on the applicable terms. The accommodation provider’s cancellation policy may continue to apply after your arrival at your inn. In the event that you decide to shorten the duration of your stay, such a request will be dealt with at the discretion of the accommodation provider, and not by us in our capacity as the booking agent. If you amend your booking in this way there may be a cancellation fee levied by the accommodation provider and you should refer to the provider’s cancellation policy for more details. Where the accommodation provider requires a minimum stay for rooms attracting a certain price, this will be clearly stated on our site prior to booking.

We are not responsible for inaccuracies in the booking process; you must check carefully the agreed dates and prices before completing your booking. In particular, you are advised to check the availability of any offers, promotional codes, or the acceptance of gift vouchers before completing the booking, as well as whether any special requirements you may have can be met. Please note that Inn Places Special Gifts may not be available at all the inns where special promotions are being run, and such promotions may have additional terms and conditions applicable.

Although we gather credit card information to secure the booking, the booking will be with the relevant inn to whom, by virtue of you starting the booking process you authorise us to transmit the credit card information.

To confirm a booking, you must be authorised to make the booking by all the persons named on the booking and their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making the booking, you are confirming that all persons named on the booking accept the terms and that you will inform the other persons named on the booking of the confirmation details and any other appropriate information. By making the booking you also become responsible for making all payments due under the booking.

The display of accommodation for hire on the site is an invitation to treat only.

By completing and submitting the booking form you are making an offer to book temporary accommodation room nights, which if accepted by accommodation providers, will result in a binding contract made between you and the accommodation provider.

Completing the booking process online does not constitute acceptance of your offer. We will send you an email confirmation following your booking on behalf of the accommodation provider confirming acceptance of your offer and forming the legally binding contract subject to any applicable terms and conditions.

Because the contract for your accommodation is between you and the relevant inn, any queries or concerns should be addressed to them. If you have a problem during your visit, this must be reported to the inn immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the inn to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to from the inn may be reduced or you may not receive any at all depending upon the circumstances. If you wish to complain when you return home, you should address your complaint to the inn concerned.
