Lots of discussion recently about what constitutes a great B&B, especially with the arrival of Channel 4′s T.V show Four in a Bed, which gets B&B owners from all over the country to stay in and rate other B&B’s. Which as produced some farcical and hilarious moments of pettiness.

What do you rate the most in a B&B, accommodation, food, welcome, location.  Why would you choose a B&B? over a hotel.

For me it is simple I like the intimacy which they offer the owners are on hand the majority of the time and can correct any issues quickly. You are probably only sharing the accommodation with another 2 – 6 people maximum.  The food is usually sourced locally which in a great food producing county like Norfolk makes a a big difference.

Mostly I love B&B’s though because each one is individual I think people who enjoy the freedom to explore look for B&B’s

One top choice for North Norfolk can be found in the North east corner of the county. This Part of Norfolk is less visited and less developed than other parts so when you find an out of the way B&B you know you are in for a treat.

Not far from North Walsham  near the Village of Eddingthorpe you can find Church Farm Barn. Run by Andy and Val Kerr
