Close to the bustling Norfolk market town of Swaffham but tucked away enough to be sure of a peaceful holiday, Goldfinch Barns offer the perfect retreat for those looking to relax and unwind while still enjoying all that Norfolk has to offer. Kestrel Barn (UK31353) and Skylark (UK31354) are both four-bedroomed properties that boast wood burners and private hot tubs, making these the perfect year round escape. Swaffham itself has lots of great places to eat, drink and shop, all accessible on foot. If you venture a little further you will begin to see why this part of Norfolk is so popular with guests. Just 30 minutes from Thetford Forest, where you will find acres of natural woodland to explore along with High Lodge and Go Ape. You are also only 30 minutes away from the gateway to the North Norfolk coast, too, where you will find an array of sandy beaches, salt marshes and quays. Visit Hunstanton to find a town packed full of traditional seaside attractions. Or head to Wells-next-the-Sea for the famous quay and narrow gauge railway. While you are driving between the two, make sure you schedule in time to stop off at some of the pretty seaside villages that lie along this coastline, most with places to shop and eat and all with a variety of coastal habitats. History buffs should visit one of the many stately homes and National Trust properties that can be found in the area including the Sandringham Estate, Peckover House and Holkham Hall. Visits to the Hanseatic Quarter of Old Kings Lynn and the famous Norman Castle of Norwich are also worth while, with both places offering numerous museums, galleries and other attractions too. There are also great bird watching opportunities, walks and cycle rides available too. Beach 20 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant ¾ mile.

Fabulous weekend
Had a wonderful time catching up with family at Kestrel Barn. Whole property finished to a very high standard, hot tub a win and the best array of kitchen utensils ever! Comfortable beds, hot showers, cosy sofa and a great location.

Stunning house and great location
As the title says, the house was stunning and very comfortable and in a great location for travelling around and exploring Norfolk. Quiet and peaceful location but also only 10mins walk into Swaffham. Very warm welcome from Maria and Aiden on arrival. Would definitely stay here again the next time I’m in the area.

Top quality accommodation
At first glance the property had a distinct wow factor. We found the open plan downstairs layout totally suited to our family, with its well-equipped kitchen and plentiful seating. The main bedroom was absolutely huge, and we were impressed with the quality of the beds and linen provided. Everything about the property was very clean, and the hot tub was a total hit with the younger adults. Our hosts were friendly and keen to meet our needs. I don’t think they could have done any more to make our stay any better. We will certainly consider staying here again.
