Colveston Manor

Comfortable and homely hospitality is the watchword at Colveston Manor. The distinctive red brick and chalk manor house is set in extensive gardens with resident peacocks, in the heart of a thriving arable and livestock farm mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086.

The bedrooms are roomy and furnished in traditional country house style, one with an antique four-poster bed, and there are reception rooms warmed by log fires in winter. A delicious evening meal can be provided by arrangement and the hearty Aga-cooked breakfasts have won a special ETB Breakfast Award.

Close to Colveston, Thetford Chase provides opportunities for walking and pony trekking, and the area has many National Trust properties such as Ickworth House and Oxburgh Hall, while Sandringham, the Queen’s much-loved winter retreat, is under an hour’s drive.

The historic cities of Norwich and Cambridge can both be reached in forty minutes and the stunning North Norfolk Heritage Coast is a similar distance.
