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).

We really enjoyed the cottage and the beds were very comfortable as were the sofas. The location was a good base to explore the coast. Hunstanton was in easy reach by car. There was a good fish and chips shop, a lovely pub called "The Railway Inn" which did very good meals. The cottage was very clean and tidy.

This cottage is in a great location for exploring the North Norfolk coast. It had everything we needed. The bedroom set up was great with 2 teenagers who dont want to share a room on holiday any more!

Good position for visiting coast of north Norfolk. No view from the back of the property and is positioned in a small close where your only view is of cars with the associated properties.

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
