We stayed at Goldfinch from 1st of January for 3 nights. It's in a lovely location and despite the snow we had an amazing time. The cottage has everything you could possibly need, it's immaculately clean and well equipped. We visited Norwich the Park and ride is useful. We had lovely walks and a nice pub lunch in the village. Would definitely visit again and can recommend it to anyone. Also a very nice welcome hamper. Not forgetting dog friendly. Thank you.
