This thoughtfully styled property sits within a peaceful location in the pretty village of Docking and is bursting with character and charm. With an array of walking trails, long sandy beaches and many lovely villages to explore, this area is perfect for a group of nine and their canine companion to explore.

Let yourselves into this elegant, two-storey property and be instantly impressed by the delightful furnishings, spacious shared areas and remarkably high ceilings. In the large, well-equipped kitchen, cook up three-course meals and serve them up around the table, raising a glass to your holiday as you go. Keep warm on chilly evenings with the wood burner in the vast living room, or get your muscles fired up with a game of table tennis, table football, darts or pool in the much-loved games room. Inviting sofas beckon you to sink back in for a few peaceful moments with a bestseller before calling it a night and heading to one of four delightfully decorated bedrooms; two king-size rooms, a double, and a single bedroom. Alternatively, the mezzanine floor also has a twin for more handy sleeping arrangements.

The unspoilt beaches of Old Hunstanton and Wells-next-the-sea are both within a 12-mile drive of the property and offer soft sand dunes, impressive beach huts and excellent crabbing. Tuck into ice creams and classic fish and chips to experience a traditional day at the seaside. Stroll around the historic house of Holkham Hall (11 miles) to soak up rich landscapes, walled gardens and the chance to hire bikes to explore the pine forestry. Stay close to home with a visit down to the local watering hole for a pint of Norfolk's finest and a hearty pub lunch.

As a large family this cottage was perfect. The lay out is great and there is plenty of space so you dont feel like youre on top of one another. The kitchen had all the amenities and we loved all the added touches in the cottage like the hall light sensors and the rechargeable torches in the bedrooms. Lovely shower! And huge bath. Its only a short Read moredrive away from Brancaster beach, Holkham beach and Hall are definitely worth a visit too. We honestly loved staying here. Hide

Minor point reference Mezzanine Bedroom- Traffic noise from 06:00 to being up was quite significant. Obviously nothing can be done about that but informing people ahead might be helpful.

My wife, adult son and daughter and their partners enjoyed a wonderful New Year stay at this spacious and very well equipped property. The games room and the log burner were particular favourites. The location is excellent and all of the North Norfolk attractions, pubs and restaurants are only a short drive away. We will return.

Great place to stop, central to everything. Some things need sorting in the barn, some people beds could feel the springs. Taps in en suite need fixing as kept moving and kitchen tap leaks. The heating was very strange, could never get it right. Overall it was a nice stay .

The barn was an amazing space for a large family or group of friends. With four social areas to choose from we could either be all together or be on our own with no problem. The standard of the property was really good and the garden was beautifully kept.
