This cottage in pretty Docking is perfect for couples, friends or a small family seeking a relaxing Norfolk getaway. Set within the owner's grounds as a self-contained annexe, it creates a welcoming base for exploring North Norfolk. You'll have a shop, traditional pub and fish and chip shop within 0.5 miles. The coastal village of Brancaster (5 miles) is renowned for its fresh seafood and championship golf course overlooking salt marshes and the sea. You’ll be spoilt for choice if you love a beach, with wide golden sands, rolling dunes and kitesurfing at Old Hunstanton (7 miles). Wells-next-the-Sea (11 miles) also charms visitors with its picturesque harbour, colourful beach huts and vast beach backed by fragrant pine woods.

Alongside, the dining area provides space for shared meals, while the kitchen is thoughtfully arranged with a breakfast bar and stools for leisurely morning coffees.

We were thrilled with the cottage. Accommodation was to a very high standard. The decor was tasteful and modern with many artistic additions showing a keen eye for details. We were surprised by the welcome extras, such as the night lights in strategic places upstairs keeping us safe. It was situated in a peaceful location, very comfortable and cleaRead moren. The attention to detail was impressive and we enjoyed our stay. The beautiful scones, jam and clotted cream were a delightful touch. Hide

New build holiday house, clean comfortable and functional. Looks bigger on the photos but perfect for us two adults. Bathroom quite small. There is very little outdoor space, but as we were out exploring everyday, it didnt bother us. Holiday house sits on the end of a row of new houses. The holiday house is set to left hand side of owners houRead morese. Despite close proximity, the holiday house feels quite private and self contained. Reversing out onto drive feels a bit tight when owners cars are all parked there, but okay if you have front and rear parking aids on your car. Was not easy to find at first, as only small sign at end of driveway and postcode leads satnav to high street. But generally it is a Good location only 15-20 minutes drive in all directions to many lovely villages, towns and seasides. Useful village spar shop and chip shop. Sitting in the evening with back door open is lovely with a fresh breezes and the sound of many swifts and barn swallows enjoying the farmers fields behind the property. Would definitely come again, but wish there was a view over the fields from the small outside seating area. Views can only be seen from kitchen window and skylights. Hide
