Description
The Inn is owned and personally run by Paul and Janet Lucas. We are open all year and look forward to welcoming all visitors to our most unique property, which is also canine friendly.
The Oxenham Arms is undoubtedly one of the oldest inns not only in Devon, but in England. The inn is believed to have been built in the latter part of the twelfth century by lay monks, and later became the Dower House of the Burgoynes whose heiress carried it to the Oxenham family, after whom the inn is named. It is believed that John Oxenham was the navigator for Sir Frances Drake.
First licensed in 1477, The Oxenham Arms is a unique inn with romantic associations. Situated just off the main Exeter-Okehampton road (A30) it lies in the valley on the old coaching road, in the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of South Zeal, midway between the north and south coast of Devon.
