Alex and I moved from London to Norfolk in March 2014 with the intention of opening a business that would meet all the requirements that we would wish to find in a holiday cottage, especially ones that would welcome our pets as warmly as ourselves. We are passionate about making your stay with us as enjoyable as possible and are happy to help with any queries that you may have about your booking or stay with us. We are very happy to discuss your requirements by telephone or if you prefer please contact us by email. We offer an extensive food and non-food welcome pack as part of your stay and if you have any dietary requirements then please let us know and we will do our best to meet these. We include local organic produce as standard, along with our own eggs from Thelma, Louise, George and Bette and Dalene’s home made preserves, pickles, pates and whatever pies, bread, cakes, scones or biscuits she has made that day. In the cupboards you will find washing-up liquid, scrubbers, dishwasher tablets, tinfoil, clingfilm, handsoap, condiments, a range of oils, herbs & spices – nothing is more irritating than if you arrive and find

Our mission here at Olde Farm is to give people the best stay in a self-catering cottage they have ever had, and to welcome initial strangers and have them leave (and return) as friends. Bring romance back into your lives, park your everyday responsibilities and your busy job at the door and enjoy an Olde Farm experience. We know that these might appear to seem ambitious aims but we believe from our reviews that we are achieving these – please read them on Trip Advisor and see if you agree! We have also been awarded the highest accolades from Visit England as both are cottages are now 4* Gold (Bees) and 5* Gold Rated (Borrowers) and both cottages have also received Trip Adviser Certificates of Excellence for Self Catering Cottages every year since their inception in 2017. We offer pet sitting so you can go out knowing that your pets are safe. Although we include a very generous welcome pack we know that some guests don’t want to shop at all whilst with us – so send us your list and arrive to a full fridge, freezer and larder – set a budget and let us do the rest or if you have an account Waitrose, Tesco, Asda & Sainsburys will all deliver.

Olde Farm is located between several picturesque villages in open countryside, overlooking pastures and adjacent to a working farm. We are close to essential road, rail and air travel links whilst being tucked away in the beautiful unspoilt South Norfolk countryside. There are panoramic views across fields under the ‘big Norfolk sky’ and you can walk along public footpaths and cycle along country lanes from the doorstep. We regularly see barn owls, muntjac deer, skylarks, wagtails, hares, rabbits, pheasants, wild ducks and moor hens in the vicinity, and much more besides. There are a range of local shops, play areas, pubs and restaurants within three miles, as well as some places of historical interest for those inclined to search them out. The lovely market towns of Diss, Wymondham, Harleston and Attleborough are only a short drive away, which offer shopping, cafes/restaurants, an auction house, a 900 year old Abbey, small art galleries and other facilities. Just around the corner, and less than 5 minutes walk is the private Old Buckenham Country Park, set in over 30 acres of landscaped gardens with two lakes and an abundance of wildlife.
