  • Set in a secluded, private courtyard, this cottage offers a perfect blend of old and new
  • Traditional Norfolk stone house with a historic ambience and a warming wood burner
  • Enclosed front patio and rear garden, perfect for BBQs and alfresco dining
Property code: OC-1837

Nestled in a private courtyard, this traditional brick-and-flint cottage offers a cosy Norfolk retreat for up to five guests and their two pups. Located in the quaint village of Docking, surrounded by gentle rolling hills and endless skies, it’s ideally located to explore the salt marshes, dunes, wildlife and sandy beaches of the North Norfolk coast. Once you’ve finished exploring for the day, you’ll be delighted to return to this elegant, charming abode for a relaxing night.

Calming hues, splashes of colour and natural light flow through this pretty cottage, which has been fully refurbished to make a true home from home. Arranged around the wood burner, the sumptuous leather sofas are the perfect place to snuggle after an exhilarating walk along the Norfolk coast. The room flows naturally to a bench dining table next to a large window, with a door leading through to the galley-style kitchen. Outside, the enclosed courtyard garden is a fine spot to relax with a glass of wine or fire up the barbeque to dine alfresco in the salty sea air. When it’s time to rest your head, climb upstairs and sink into one of three tranquil bedrooms. Then start your day afresh with a cuppa on the sunny front garden bench. There is also parking for 1 car off road, but also road side parking if available.

You can find all the basic amenities in Docking including a fish and chip shop, small supermarket and a weekly Wednesday market. The seaside towns of Heacham and Hunstanton are 6.5 and 8 miles respectively with lovely sandy beaches and traditional seaside entertainment. From here the Norfolk coastline is at your fingertips, from the bird reserves at Titchwell (5.5 miles) and Holme (6.5 miles), to the beautiful beach at Brancaster (6 miles), and the panoramic beach at Holkham, backed by sand dunes and pine woods (11 miles).

This property is in a great location for exploring North Norfolk. The cottage was equipped well enough for our needs. I believe a bit of extra cleaning could have made the cottage a little less shabby looking. Beds were very comfortable.

We needed a relaxing and peaceful getaway after a very busy few months, and Woodcocks looked perfect - and it really was in reality. Set in a very quiet courtyard, off the main road, it was cosy and clean with extremely comfortable mattresses - something I am always anxious about when I go away! The location was perfect for visiting all along the nRead moreorth coast, and Brancaster beach close enough to drive to for an evening walk every day. We took our dogs but if your dogs like to sleep with you, this cottage isn't suitable as they are not allowed upstairs. The enclosed rear space was perfect for them to mooch around in and there were loads of walks nearby. We'd definitely stay again! And - the best fish and chips we'd had for years is right next door :-) Hide

The cottage was comfortable and close to everything we wanted to see. Beds are comfortable and well presented. There is a Spar shop close by, which has everything you need. The Railway Inn is in walking distance, however if you are not so good on your feet you may need to drive. Food is ok. There are lots of lovely places to eat if youre happy to Read moretravel, Hide

We had a lovely few days in the cottage. It's in a great location near some amazing beaches, a Spar local and a fish and chip shop. The patio at the back is very small and has no grassy bit. We just took the dogs to the grassy bits around the corner instead.

Lovely and clean. Great location with a dog friendly pub in the village and a chip shop literally around the corner. Bed really comfy with nice bedding and towels. Parking right outside the cottage in an extremely quiet cul de sac. Close to the areas we wanted to visit eg Holkham Hall.
