Even simpeler leven bij Lucy and Marcus

Ontdek College farm in Norfolk, Beccles. Deze boerderij is eerder verkozen tot boerderij van het jaar en hier zijn Marcus, Lucy en hun kinderen natuurlijk super trots op! Leer hier alles over het boerenleven en de vleeskoeien. De tenthuisjes staan rond de boerderij met uitzicht op weilanden waar de kudde staat te grazen. Met een beetje geluk spot je ook nog wat wilde dieren, je bent tenslotte in het nationaal park de Norfolk Broads!

Actief op het water

Ontdek de Broads per boot, kano of paddleboard. Mooi weer? Er zijn verschillende kustplaatsen in de buurt, zoals Southwold en Aldeburgh. Spot zeehonden bij Horsey Gap. Zin in een dagje uit? Bewilderwood, Africa Alive en het dinosauruspark Roarr zijn allemaal op een klein eindje rijden van de boerderij.

Dit doe je op de boerderij

Loop de route langs de rivier de Waveney en ontdek het platteland. Voor de kinderen is er een hooischuur, een waar paradijs waar ze veilig kunnen spelen. Het lammetjes verblijf en het grote kippenhok zijn altijd open. Als je geluk hebt en hier in het voorjaar bent, mag jij misschien wel een lammetje de fles geven! Maar ook als er geen lammetjes meer zijn zul jij je niet vervelen! In het boerderijwinkeltje zijn veel lekkere lokale lekkernijen te koop. Verzamel na een dag vol boerderijavonturen gezellig rond de houtkachel, steek de kaarsen aan en geniet van elkaar, na een lange dag is het tijd om je comfy bed in te stappen.

College farm was a fantastic gem in a wonderful location. From the moment we arrived Lucy the owner was friendly and informative. The play barn and the animals were a huge hit with the children and the accommodation was the perfect getaway from everyday life - really fun to experience candle lit evenings!

We really enjoyed staying at College Farm! The play area was great and being in one of the lodges closer to it made it more relaxing for us and our 4 year old daughter - it gave her a bit of independence to walk back to the lodge while still in sight. The views were amazing, the location lovely, and the quiet and stillness at night was therapeutic. We loved being surrounded by open fields, seeing the cows and sitting in with the lambs.Lucy was a wonderful host - she was always on hand but never intrusive. She was friendly and helpful and honest about places to visit (or not to visit!).I have only positive things to say about College Farm, but I was surprised that Featherdown charge the same for a lodge without an ensuite as they do for a lodge with an ensuite. When we booked there were no ensuite lodges available so we booked well aware that we would have to wander up to the shower block each time, and although we were completely happy to do that, I'm surprised that Featherdown don't account for the inconvenience of having to do so - luckily the weather was fine each day we were there but I can imagine walking to and from the lodge and shower in pouring rain would've been a different and unenjoyable experience. Alongside that, the lodges with the ensuite have dedicated space for toiletries whereas we were constantly moving things around - toothbrushes by the kitchen sink, shelves taken up with shampoo and shower gel etc instead of food and drink. The toilet is also much more private in the ensuite - in our lodge, the loo was next to the kitchen, which wasn't always a pleasant experience whichever side of the loo door you were on!Overall we were completely happy with our stay and thoroughly enjoyed being at the farm and in our lodge but I do feel slightly miffed that we paid the same but experienced more inconvenience.

Thank you to Lucy and Marcus for another wonderful stay at College Farm. We hadn’t been since the pandemic and were delighted to find that the hospitality was as warm, the farm setting as peaceful, and the tents as immaculately kept as ever before- it was the perfect family escape, miles from care and truly restoring and relaxing. Just what we all needed. And we loved the innovation of the eco bricks for the wood burning stove- much easier to get going, cleaner and more environmentally friendly than the usual logs. Can’t wait to return again!

Close to perfection. Lucy was a wonderful and helpful host. The 8 tents are spaced far apart on a big piece of land. There are 2 playgrounds with a trampoline, a pen with 3 young lambs to cuddle, and a barn with hay stacks to jump on located near the tents : ideal for active young kids.

Our time at College Farm was great. Lucy was a great host and nothing was too much trouble. As soon as we got there we hadn't even parked up when the kids made a beeline for the hay barn. They loved it and even though we were on a working farm we felt that the kids were safe and we didn't need to watch them all the time, so they felt free and we could relax. Lovely location. Nice showers and a good information pack inside the tent which we used for dinner recomendations. A BBQ at the tent at sunset topped off a great few days.

Our holiday was brilliant, so Enjoyable, the amenities were practical and we had everything we needed from kitchen equipment to towels and bedding. There was time for making memories with our children, having the chickens and sheep on the farm was an added bonus as we got to see wonder on our children’s faces interacting with them. The children were allowed to play in the hay barn and go in with the animals which gave them a new sense of freedom and responsibility. We were given plenty of candles and wood for our fire we didn’t need to request any more. My husband went fishing on the farm which was an extra plus for us as a family. We were recommended a local farm shop and it was lovely we would recommend this.We used the farm as a base in the mornings we would head out and come back early afternoon then we enjoyed the facilities of the farm in the afternoon and early evening.Lucy’s hospitality was second to none, we couldn’t have asked for a better host for our first feather down holiday. From the courtesy call she made two days before to the time we spent there and the farewell chat we had before our departure.We would come back to college farm without a doubt and we have already started recommending to our friends and family. Thank you Lucy-Five stars!

We have just got back from 3 nights here and it was amazing. Great safari tents with tranquil setting. The kids loved roaming the farm and playing on the trampoline and hay barn, making friends. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Great location too for visiting Norfolk. We highly recommend College Farm and will be coming back soon.

Excellent. Lucy was the perfect host - attentive, friendly, efficient and helpful. College Farm was an excellent base for exploring this lovely area which has so much to offer. On site our children loved the communal trampoline and straw barn which was a great place to make friends. We really enjoyed the peaceful setting. A great Featherdown experience. Thank you!

Lucy is a wonderful host and clearly cares passionately about her farm as well as her guests and providing an excellent Featherdown experience. The farm is in an ideal spot for day trips of all sorts and is laid out in such a way that allows a perfect balance of privacy but the chance to be social if you wish. Our children aged 11 and 8 had an amazing time playing football, in the play barn and trampolining, so much so that we didn’t see them other than to eat and sleep.

College Farm is excellent! The hosts are brilliant - Lucy was so friendly and helpful. There's loads for the kids to do independently on the site so we could relax and they made some great friends. Shower block was clean and worked well and the addition of large fridges up at the farm made food storage better than we have had at other sites. As well as the chickens and sheep at the farm, the little walk down to the river was teeming with wildlife and we saw cows, horses, swans, geese, pheasant, deer, rabbits and tons of butterflies! The local area is perfect for exploring with various coastal spots a short drive away and we also visited Bewilderwood and RSPB Minsmere. Would definitely recommend and hope to return ourselves in the future

An incredible time spent on the farm. Our kids made friends, ran around free and did turn a little feral by the end of it! We haven’t stopped talking about it since we left. Lucy is wonderful. The tent and all facilities immaculate. So much thought has gone into making it the perfect getaway. Perfect for kids and adults of all ages!
