Arrive as a Guest, Leave as Family

A History of Hospitality

The Bedingfeld Arms boasts a history dating back to 1783, when it was originally a coaching inn built to serve travellers and the Bedingfeld family of Oxburgh Hall. The pub gardens overlook the village green and sit beside the early 16th-century Church of St John the Evangelist.

Oxburgh Hall has been a sanctuary and a retreat for the Bedingfeld family over the years, and the Bedingfeld Arms housed many of their guests as well as other weary travellers. The current Bedingfeld owners, Stephen and Catkin Parker, are proud to continue a long tradition of making guests feel like family and ensuring that everybody who stays at the Bedingfeld leaves feeling rested and rejuvenated.

Where Is the Bedingfeld Arms?

You can find us within the tranquil village of Oxborough, conveniently located between Stoke Ferry and Swaffham and central to many market towns and cities of Norfolk and Suffolk. Situated in the heart of ‘the Brecks’ in West Norfolk, our location offers a peaceful, rural setting with a wealth of nature walks and cycling routes around Thetford Forest.

Our pub gardens overlook the charming village green and are adjacent to the early 16th-century Church of St John the Evangelist. Just across from us is the National Trust's 15th-century moated manor house, Oxburgh Hall, which features formal gardens and hosts numerous seasonal events. All are just a stone's throw from our spacious and open garden.
