Siobhan was a great host. Met us as we arrived with a box of lovely butterfly cakes. She gave us some tips and advice where to go for our short stay. Gosling Barn was lovely. It had everything you needed for a comfy stay. Would recommend the vineyard next door, we went for a pizza and fizz evening (make sure you book in advance) and Old Hall Farm for a yummy Sunday breakfast treat. It also had a really good meat/cheese count within their farm shop. Gosling Barn was a great place to stay and lovely to relax for a few days.

Siobhan and Ian made us feel very welcome. The barn was spacious and very clean with lovely homemade butterfly cakes on arrival. Good location giving easy access to Norwich, Southwold and the Norfolk broads, plus plenty more. We would not hesitate to recommend Gosling Barn to anyone wishing to visit Norfolk.
