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.
