Found these lovely postcards for my welcome basket at Goldfinch Cottage at Poppylands Tea Room. It's a bit more than a tea room though. Expect nostalgia in the form of a 1940s wartime theme. Decorated in authentic, vintage memorabilia and furniture. Serving hearty British fare, homemade cakes (just like my mum made), and traditional afternoon teas. The owner, Darren, is expanding his collection constantly so every time I visit there's something new on display.

With the sunshine well and truly blessing my cottage, I decided to leave a couple of sun hats ... just in case any of my guests come unprepared for the sun trap courtyard garden. Feel free to use!

I love it when we can combine a changeover at Goldfinch Cottage with a few nights there ourselves. Not always possible as I'm getting so many more bookings now which is just fantastic. It takes a while to build a reputation and get the word out there.

I arrived to this wonderful note in the Guest Book. "Enjoyed a relaxing 4 day break. Thanks so much for the welcome hamper. Cottage clean and comfortable - loved our early morning walks to the beach. Goldfinch is well-equipped - everything that we needed. Thanks again."

Only 2 nights for us but just home from prepping for our next guest arriving tomorrow. I took a quick photo as we left and, gosh, it looks so welcoming.

Welcome to sunny Boundary Stables and Goldfinch Cottage. What a glorious day it was yesterday. Getting the cottage ready for my next guests and admiring the pruning and weeding I did on the pergola in the paddock the other day. Lots of wild flowers popping up all over the place. Hugo happy to explore.

I adore the Norfolk town of Cromer. This last week I spent a few days between changeovers at Goldfinch Cottage to soak up the atmosphere, saunter along the esplanade, stop off at my favourite watering hole North Sea Coffee Co to chat with locals, and do one of my favourite walks to Overstrand and back.

The sea was like a millpond. And the colour ... I could have been in the Mediterranean. Boats going out and boats coming in packed with crab and lobster and one of those crabs ended up in my sandwich at Whitewater. I eat very little bread and never white unless it's a crab sandwich. This was delicious. Thick slices of bread and absolutely no stinting on the crab. I had to take half of it home with me for supper.

I often walk from Cromer to Overstrand and usually go one way by cliff and one way by beach, depending on the tide. The smell of the gorse bushes was truly intoxicating and views to die for. What more does a girl need?

Cromer is just a 30 minute drive from Goldfinch Cottage. I have a few dates available during the summer so do get in touch if you'd like more information. September and October are fairly free at the moment but last year these were very popular months.

More praise for my little cottage. I cannot tell you how happy this makes me. I've furnished and equipped Goldfinch to reflect what I would like to find when I rent self catering holiday accommodation. It's so nice to know that people appreciate the extra touches.

"Fantastic well-equipped bungalow. Every comfort and lots of extra touches. We've had a lovely time exploring the area and our dog Ziggy has loved the beach twice most days! This is a really peaceful haven that we hope to enjoy again."

The Goldfinch diary is filling up over the next few months. Availability at this moment:

🏡Friday 9 May - Monday 12 May (3 nights)
🏡Tuesday 3 June - Tuesday 10 June (7 nights - but you can book the minimum of 3 within this period)
🏡Saturday 28 June - Friday 4 July (6 nights - but you can book the minimum of 3 within this period)

From September onwards the diary is clearer so email [email protected] or message me for more information about the autumn.
