Is Bumble Bee Farm Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Dereham offers swimming pools, a bowling alley and cinema just 4 miles away. The Mid-Norfolk Railway runs special Polar Express trips during Christmas. Travel cot and highchair available on request.

For Couples

This property is designed for larger groups rather than couples. The layout with three bedrooms and two living areas suits families and friends better than romantic breaks. The hot tub and rural setting offer some appeal, but the size and configuration make it less intimate for two people.

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!
