Bumble Bee Farm Reviews

We all had a wonderful time at Bumble bee farm. It is in a peaceful location and safe for the children to run around and enjoy the open space. The barn itself is amazing and has everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable. The hot tub was lovely to relax in. There are many places to visit within 30 to 45 minutes. Norwich town is great for shops, Wells next to sea has a beautiful beach and there are many little farm shops to visit. We will definitely be going back again soon!
