B&Bs Near to Bury St Edmunds
Church Farm Bed and Breakfast
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 in Bradfield Combust, just 5 miles from Bury St Edmunds, 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.
Brighthouse Farm B&B
Brighthouse Farm offers a beautiful timbered Georgian farmhouse offering four-star bed and breakfast rooms, self-catering accommodation and caravan/camping site in a tranquil rural setting in the heart of Suffolk. Situated in the quiet village of Lawshall, 7 miles from Bury St Edmunds, Brighthouse Farm provides the ideal location from which to explore the Suffolk countryside and its attractions.
The B&B rooms are all en-suite and spacious. Breakfast is cooked on the farmhouse Aga – they serve a different breakfast every morning of your stay and can cater for any dietary requirements.
Their bed and breakfast accommodation is ideal for both business guests and holidaymakers on long or short breaks, providing plenty of opportunities for visitors to enjoy the delights of the many local restaurants and eateries during their stay.
De Vere House B&B
The highly acclaimed former 5 star self catering and bed and breakfast accommodation (awarded a Gold Award in 2010 by Visit Britain) De Vere House offers stunning facilities in the heart of Suffolk countryside and comes with a touch of movie magic history.
Lavenham, just 20 minutes from Bury St Edmunds, is Britain’s finest medieval village (with over 300 grade listed heritage properties and appearing as Godric’s Hollow in the Harry Potter films). De Vere House is located in the centre of this pretty village (just 20 minutes from Bury St Edmunds) and itself offers a wealth of history and interest as well as comfortable accommodation.
Two four poster bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, TV, wifi internet access, private guest sitting room with log fire and courtyard garden, full English breakfast (taken in the Dining Room of the main house). Not suitable for pets, children or the disabled due to the age and layout of the house.
De Vere House appeared as parts of Godric’s Hollow in the Harry Potter film Deathly Hallows Part One (and in the PSP, Gameboy and Xbox games of the film) also being used in two of the official Christmas Cards produced by Warner Bros. In the filming of Harry Potter, different parts of De Vere House were cut and paste to make up the whole of Godric’s Hollow. Filmed during the summer, the special effects team added winter snow (even pasting a Christmas tree into De Vere House's front bay window together with the sound of Christmas carols in the background)
The house is often referred to as “The Harry Potter House” by locals, in the media and a huge picture of the front door can be seen at the Warner Bros’ Exhibition on the making of Harry Potter and in the Village Library.
Meadow House Bed and Breakfast
Meadow House Bed and Breakfast is the perfect solution for large groups seeking somewhere to stay together, with a broad range of rooms in a magnificent modern house, as well as a separate coach house annex, all set in two acres of wooded grounds for relaxation and complete privacy.
The generous and delicious English breakfasts are cooked to order and there are also vegetarian and continental options available.
Meadow House is located in Burwell, 25 miles from Bury St Edmunds, 10 miles from the interesting city of Cambridge, and only four miles from Newmarket- ideal if you want to visit the racecourse.
There are also a collection of quaint self-catering cottages available, each located in the local area and with its own character and unique style. Hilary’s Cottage in the village of Swaffham Prior is an adorable Victorian cottage, which sleeps four people. Also in Swaffham Prior, Garden Cottage has a sunny patio space and welcomes dogs.
