With 18 comfortable bedrooms, we're also an ideal base for exploring the Chilterns, visiting nearby attractions including Chenies Manor and Warner Bros.

Well, the great British summer had other plans…
Unfortunately, due to the rather soggy forecast, we’ve had to cancel Monday's Smokehouse Social. We’re gutted, but sometimes you just can’t beat the English weather! 🇬🇧☔️

But don’t worry, we’re still making Bank Holiday Monday one to remember. 🔥

We’ll be serving up some delicious smoky specials fresh from the kitchen including, Barnsley Lamb Chops, Moroccan Lamb Burgers.

So while the garden party may be off, there’s still plenty of reason to join us for great food, drinks and a relaxed Bank Holiday Monday at The Bedford Arms.
We’ll see you inside! 🍻🤍

It’s Sunday, the garden is looking beautiful, and there’s no better excuse for a long lunch, a Sunday roast and a drink in the sunshine.

Make the most of the last of those garden days while you can. 🌿✨

Meet the Team Thursday! 👋

This week, we’re introducing one of our top FOH stars, Jess! ✨

Escape to the countryside 🌿🛏️

Our bespoke countryside rooms are made for switching off, think beautifully comfortable beds, thoughtful touches, peaceful surroundings and everything you need for a proper night’s rest.

Whether you’re joining us for a weekend away, a countryside escape or simply fancy a night away from the everyday, settle in, slow down and let us look after you.

Dinner downstairs, drinks by the fire, then back upstairs to one seriously comfy bed… sounds pretty perfect to us. 🤍

Your countryside escape awaits.

🔥 Favourite thing about The Bedford Arms: “At Christmas time, walking in to the heat of the fire and the smell of mulled wine.”
