College Farm - Bed & Breakfast in Norfolk
Thompson, Thetford, IP24 1QG, Norfolk
England,
Reino Unido
Katharine is a natural at making guests feel like friends. Her beautiful farmhouse tucks itself away on the edge of the village and the big friendly kitchen is filled with delicious smells of home baking. Meals are served by the large wood-burner in the grand Jacobean dining room, filled with good antiques, period furnishings and cosy places to sit; food is home-grown, seasonal and local - breakfast eggs are from her own chickens.
Sleep well in charming bedrooms with smooth linen, pretty furniture and garden views; bathrooms are small and simple. The house backs directly onto Thompson Common, a designated SSSI filled with rare flora, fauna and birdlife, so don't forget your binoculars.
You can get married here, there are friendly animals to chat to and you can join the Peddars Way from the garden for beautiful walks and cycles. Katharine can rustle up a packed lunch and supper when you get back with a bit of notice.

Katharine Wolstenholme:
- The house was built in 1349 by my ancestors as a College of Priests together with the church a few hundred yards away.
- My mother started the B&B here in the 1970s and I took over after her death in 2010. College Farm has been with Sawdays since Sawdays started!
- There are fantastic walks here and the Great Eastern Pingo Trail starts from the back of our garden.
- Peddars Way, a Roman road, is within a few minutes walk of the house.
- There are lots of bird watching opportunities nearby.
- Breckland is the driest part of England and we have the same rainfall as Jerusalem, though sadly not the same sunshine!
