College Farm Bed & Breakfast

College Farm is a medieval family home situated in the village of Thompson three miles from the market town of Watton.

We have 3 double bedrooms, all with private or ensuite bathrooms and are ideally situated as a base for touring Norfolk as well as Norwich, Cambridge and Ely. Thompson is a convenient stop over for those walking or riding ‘Peddars Way’ or the Pingo Trail (a feature left from the last Ice age) and we can offer overnight accommodation for horses in our neighbour’s paddock.

College Farm Bed & Breakfast was started in the 1970s by Katharine’s parents, William & Lavender Garnier. When William retired from the army they returned to Norfolk and settled in Thompson, the village next to Merton where Lavender’s family has lived since 1300, and close to Tottington, in the Battle Area, where Lavender grew up and where William spent most of his childhood.
Katharine ran Telford Park B&B in south London for over 20 years and after Lavender’s death in 2010 Katharine and her family moved back to Thompson and now run College Farm B&B and wedding venue.

2 rooms have beds that can be configured as either twin or king size (6ft wide) beds and the third room has a queen (5ft wide) bed. All rooms have private or en suite bathrooms and views of the garden or farmland.

There is free wifi throughout the property.

A delicious homemade, locally sourced breakfast is served in the Jacobean panelled dining room. Supper is also available by request at £20/head for 2 courses. Meals are also available at The Chequers, a 400 year old thatched pub in the village – an easy 15 minute walk from College farm.

Packed lunches are available by request at £7.50 / head.

Collection from Peddars Way by arrangement.
