🍂 Countryside Cosy

As the evenings get darker and the pace gets a little slower, there are worse places to hide away than a cosy country pub.

Check into one of our beautiful bedrooms, settle beside the fire with a glass of something good, take your time over dinner and, when the evening is done, your bed is only a few steps away.

Wake up slowly, pull back the curtains to countryside views and head downstairs for a proper breakfast.

No plans. No rushing. Just a night away at The Bedford Arms. 🛏️🍷

Sometimes the best weekends are the ones where you do very little at all.

🍂 Slower days. Darker evenings. Cosier nights.

The time of year when staying in becomes infinitely more appealing, especially when “staying in” looks like this.

Settle into one of our beautiful countryside bedrooms, wander downstairs for dinner and a bottle of something lovely, then retreat upstairs when you’re ready.

No taxis. No journey home. No alarms if you don’t want one.

Just crisp countryside air, warm pub evenings and a comfy bed to sink into afterwards.

Your autumn escape is waiting at The Bedford Arms. 🛏️🍷

🍂 The darker evenings are creeping in… we don’t mind one bit.

There’s something rather lovely about arriving at a country pub as the light begins to fade, checking into your room and knowing you’ve got absolutely nowhere else to be.

A glass at the bar, dinner downstairs, a cosy bed waiting upstairs and breakfast the following morning.

Our Sip, Supper & Snooze package includes a welcome drink on arrival, £30 per person towards dinner, your overnight stay and breakfast the next morning.

Consider this your excuse to disappear to the countryside for the night. 🍷🛏️

🍅🌶️ THE SEASON OF BLOODY MARYS IS BACK.

Crisp mornings, slower weekends and Sundays spent exactly where they should be, in the pub, preferably with a Bloody Mary in hand.

Ours starts with Absolut Tabasco for that extra kick, paired with the brilliant Pickle House Spiced Tomato Mix, made with their signature pickle juice alongside Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, cayenne, black pepper and celery salt for a rich, savoury and seriously punchy serve.

Spicy. Pickled. Properly satisfying.

And, dare we say it, rather good alongside a roast…

Bloody Mary in hand. Roast on the way. Sunday sorted. 🍅🌶️

✨ MEET THE TEAM THURSDAY ✨

Meet Tina & Sharon, the dynamic duo who make up a pretty big chunk of our wonderful housekeeping team here at The Bedford Arms. 🧹🛏️❤️

When asked their favourite thing on the menu, there was absolutely no hesitation: a roastie. 🥔 They quite literally count down the days until Sunday so they can get their hands on one during their break… and we can’t say we blame them.

As for their favourite thing about The Bedford Arms? The team. ❤️

Although Tina perhaps summed up her own department best when she very fondly described them as…

“Tina’s Team of Tiny People.” 😂

They might spend much of their time behind the scenes, but Tina, Sharon and the rest of our housekeeping crew are a huge part of what makes The Bedford Arms what it is, keeping our rooms looking beautiful and bringing plenty of laughs along the way.

Here’s to the roasties, the Sunday countdown and Tina’s Team of Tiny People. 🥂😂
