College Farm

My partner and I stayed at The Goat Shed from January 1st to 3rd and had a wonderful experience. It is a perfect escape for couples. The open-plan kitchen was well-equipped, and the log burner added a cozy touch to the evenings. The highlight was the freestanding bath in the bedroom and the rainforest shower. The owner was extremely accommodating, responsive and helpful during our stay. Highly recommended for a peaceful getaway!

A wonderfull house, in the middle of nature. Pure tranquility. But the most impressive was the welcome we recieved. We have been in many many Sawdays, but this was the honestly warmest reception ever. What a hostess!! Congratulations for your work and place!

I had a great stay at Katherine’s beautiful farmhouse. Amazing room with windows looking out across gardens to fields beyond. Very comfortable bed. The breakfast was wonderful using local ingredients and homemade marmalade a treat. Katharine was very helpful & relaxed about me coming and going at whatever time - and because the house is so big - it’s more like staying in a hotel. Altogether a really good experience and l will definitely be back and would recommend to friends.

College Farm is a delightful oasis of calm in a troubled world. Katharine presides over it all with ebullient grace, whether she's producing delectable cakes (a different flavour every day) or zooming along on the ride-on mower. The rooms are stylish and comfortable, breakfasts are superb, everything feels homely - but in a much classier way than most homes. Alpacas, chickens and pingos in the beautiful grounds, hares in the next field, what's not to like? I hope we'll be back.

Absolutely beautiful house and such a warm reception. I absolutely loved my stay and was genuinely sad to leave. Busy trying to find excuses to come back again as soon as possible!

One of the best stays we have enjoyed. Nothing was too much for our thoughtful and generous host, who cooks delicious meals in the evening as well as wonderful breakfasts (fresh eggs from her own hens). The room was spacious, spotless, comfortable and quiet; the house full of history and character - as well as countless books which we could browse at our leisure. The overall feeling was of being welcomed into a home, which indeed has been in the family for more than a generation.

College Farm is everything you hope a B&B will be. The setting is serene with an endless view and alpaca in the field. The house exudes a deep peace. The gorgeous room had a wonderfully updated bathroom with a vase of daffodils set against the deep teal paint. I walked in from the Peddar's Way and Katharine established me in the garden with freshly baked cake and a pot of tea. I was lucky to have dinner at College Farm as well. Roasted cod and prawns on a bed of spring vegetables was delicious and healthy - dessert provided a much appreciated touch of indulgence :)

A wonderfully peaceful location, very comfortable accommodation with excellent breakfasts together with a host, Katharine, who could not do enough for us. Having stayed in numerous establishments over the years, this must be one of the very best! And the homemade cake is to die for!!

Katherine is a warm and welcoming person. She is, rightly so, proud of her home, and it shows. Very comfortable room, nice big bed, good linens and little touches such as the fresh flowers in our room. All this and a tasty English breakfast every morning, plus the bonus of tea and cakes every afternoon after our jaunts around Norfolk. The house is beautiful and stands surrounded by a lovely garden full of flowers and shrubs. Llamas and goats abound, are inquisitive and very friendly. This is a peaceful and relaxing place to be.

We arrived and did not leave until we had too! I booked all three rooms and brought my daughters here for time “away from the maddening crowd”. We read, walked, talked, slept and ate! Katharine’s fabulous home cooking, eaten either around the dining table or in the walled garden depending on the time of day, was wonderful. From her delicious bread and cake baking for yummy breakfasts , or afternoon teas and delicious suppers, we felt wrapped by her and College Farms warm, invisible yet truly tangible love. College Farm was bliss! Can’t wait to return!

My boyfriend and I have just come back from a glorious night staying at College Farm. We cannot recommend it, or Katharine highly enough. We were made to feel so welcome with delicious cakes on arrival. The house is glorious and our bedrooms, Richard's Room, was gorgeous. High ceilings, panelling and loads of light. A super comfortable bed, great shower and lovely products. We had supper in a fabulous pub a few miles away and after a good sleep, a huge breakfast and a walk around the gardens we were on our way. We'll definitely be back! Andrew & Gaynor

Enjoy a stay with chickens cats alpacas and a lovely host The place is deliciously hard to find and once ensconced here it is hard to leave There are good vibes from past residents too and you feel comfortable at once It is one of the few places where breaking down and having to stay eight extra hours was a pleasure!

I have been staying at College Farm many times and always, when I am planning my next journey, I am already full of anticipation.Once you get closer, you drive through richly structured woods, where you might see a muntjac or long horn cattle, then a park opens and you see the beautiful place where Katharine, the owner and manager of the College Farm, expects you. The furnishing of Katharines home is carefully assembled and you immediately feel at home when you enter the house. Katharine is an exceedingly kind and courteous landlady who makes you feel welcome.

My friends and I had the most wonderful stay at College Farm! We were treated like members of the family, llamas/alpacas/cats/chickens included, and nothing was too much trouble. College Farm is in such a beautiful setting, quiet and peaceful with lovely country and woodland walks all around. Breakfast was a particular highlight - local bacon and eggs from the garden all in a superb wood-panelled dining room. Can’t wait to return.

We couldn’t have had a more enjoyable stay at this fabulous home. We were treated like members of the family and nothing was too much trouble. Absolutely love seeing the hens, Lamas, Alpacas and sheep and wandering around the estate. Such a beautiful location, so quiet and peaceful. Excellent breakfasts and superbly comfortable beds. Everything so clean and immaculate in our room and bathroom. Can’t wait to return.

This is a real home and you will feel relaxed and welcome. Katharine is a great hostess and there is no better place to come and take it easy for a few days. Come along - you won't regret it!

A wonderful quiet sanctuary surrounded by countryside but just a mile from a great pub. From our room looking out over the llama pen, we could see the hens running around the garden. Fresh eggs were part of a lovely breakfast in a large log burner heated dining room. Comfy beds and Katharine always available with information about the local area.

Beautiful house, quiet and peaceful countryside and Katharine was such a helpful host. Great breakfast!
