Top B&Bs in Bury St Edmunds & Beyond

A beautiful flint cottage set in the grounds of a busy working fruit farm, Church Farm bed and breakfast is homely, relaxing and full of luxury finishing touches to make your stay that extra bit special.

The family-run 200 acre farm grows raspberries, strawberries, apples and pears and is bustling all year round, even selling Christmas trees in the winter months. Artists will find plenty to inspire them and are welcome to take a seat on one of the many well-placed benches to stop and capture the blossom-laden fruit trees, wildlife and farm life.

The rooms are a joy to behold, with super king sized beds, tasteful classic pieces of furniture and the softest linen. You’ll even find fragrant bath oils and complimentary cake on arrival. The farmhouse breakfast includes preserves which of course are made from the farm’s own fruit as well as homemade apple juice and other local produce.
