Church Farmhouse | A luxury B&B experience

Church Farm House is open. We are now taking onward bookings, and especially looking forward to greeting returning guests. Benson, our new canine host, is delighted to greet all guests and is always ready to offer the opportunity for playing fetch, or other games with him.

The garden is looking more autumnal each week, but there is still quite a bit of colour from the flowers. The woodstore is full in readiness for those autumn and winter fires in the inglenook.The tulip bulbs will shortly be planted in preparation for the spring blooms.

Church Farm House is a Grade II listed building, its oldest part dating from around 1570. One of its special listing features are the 18th century windows, allowing plenty of natural light to pour into the house.

You are welcome to relax in the living room, reading or enjoying some music — we expect you to make yourself at home. On colder evenings there is nothing quite so enchanting as a log fire in the inglenook, the traditional day’s end in a thatched Norfolk farm house.

Please take every opportunity to enjoy the grounds, a splendid array of colour and variety during most of the year. Relax in the conservatory if the weather doesn’t invite you outside, or choose from the garden benches, the swing, or the terrace furniture to soak up some sunshine and listen to the sound of water babbling in one of the ponds.

Comfortable Bed

You’ll be staying in one of the three guest bedrooms situated on the first floor, bearing the names of composers — as seems fitting for the home of two musicians. Vivaldi is a single bedroom with a large ensuite shower room, Verdi is a twin bedroom with ensuite shower and extra long beds, and Rossini features a four poster bed and ensuite shower. The bedrooms are very different in character, but all feature hand painted Hindelopen decoration and a wonderful view of St. Nicholas Church. Each of the bedrooms has a music centre with an ipod dock and a flat screen television set. Wireless broadband is available throughout the house.

Sumptuous Breaksfast

Breakfast at Church Farm House will be served either in the conservatory or the dining room.

Many guests opt for the ‘Church Farm House Breakfast‘, which features our special sausages, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and farm fresh free-range eggs.

Dick always makes a fresh fruit cup, and for those wanting a lighter meal there are variations on the theme, such as cereals and freshly made home baked bread with various local jams and marmalades.

Freshly brewed tea and coffee round off a sumptuous start to the day.

Beautiful Garden

Fine Dining

Your visit to Church Farm House usually starts with a late afternoon tea, often served in the conservatory. It’s time for getting to know one another and a chance to absorb the warm and friendly atmosphere of the house.

Enjoying dinner together with your hosts at the oak dining table, eating lovingly prepared food by candlelight, is a very special part of the overall Church Farm House experience. Many of the dinner’s ingredients will be from local produce and many of the dishes you will enjoy are from special Bassett recipes.

Church Farm House is a licensed premises, so we can offer you your favorite tipple and a chance to enjoy the “wine with dinner” package with features the wines especially chosen to compliment the evening’s food.
