Summary

Canvas hideaways are located throughout the farm, and herds of cows graze the marshes, along with various wildlife, making College Farm the ideal spot for a family holiday on the Norfolk Broads.

Activities

A signed walk down to the River Waveney and the Norfolk Broads is an excellent way to introduce farm life into the perfect vacation. The hay play-barn is a close-by independent playpark for energetic guests of all ages, featuring a giant trampoline, slides, and swings. Various food options are available at the Wheatacre Farm Pantry and the on-site pizza oven! Additionally, early arrivers in the season will be offered the opportunity to help bottle-feed the lambs. Enjoy a clear night sky at the end of the day, as College Farm is located in one of the UK’s Dark Sky areas.

Food

A fully functional kitchen completes your canvas getaway, so there’s no need to stuff the boot full of kitchen appliances! Delicious meals can be prepared on the stovetop, and a kettle is provided. There’s a washbasin with running water and plenty of space for kids to help if they want to. There is additional seating outside and a table for family dining inside.

The neighbouring Wheatacre Farm Pantry is a great place to fill up a tonne of locally produced artisan food. All visitors are welcome to light up the on-site oven for a DIY pizza-making party! Alternatively, get an enticing BBQ of lamb chops, sausages, chicken, and burgers by ordering one of the farm’s meat packs.

Accommodation

College Farm is home to an array of luxurious canvas tents outfitted with everything a family could need. Some have en-suite showers, while others have farmhouse shower facilities. However, the tents can sleep up to six people in three separate areas. There is a private double, a bunk bed ideal for children, and a cabin bed in the living room – simply close the doors for an effortlessly cosy private space!

Nearby

The nearby coastal towns, such as Southwold, will appeal to everyone who enjoys beach time, shopping, crabbing, and wildlife watching. Going to Horsey Gap to see the seals is also worth the drive. BeWilderwood, Africa Alive, and Roarr Dinosaur Park are all close to the farm, making it an ideal family holiday destination in the Norfolk Broads.

Summary

Between the choices for activities, plenty of food options and sightseeing wonders, College Farm is the ideal holiday location for any family, however big or small!
