About this property
Set on the edge of the village of Docking, this lovely property is one of a row of cottages and is perfect for families or friends looking for an active holiday. The pretty village has a grocery shop, pub and fish and chip shop. The sandy beaches of Hunstanton, Thornham and Brancaster are all within a 6-mile radius, so take your buckets and spades or your water sports gear for an unforgettable day by the sea.
This charming and comfortable character cottage with an open-plan ground floor is a real home-from-home with a coastal theme in the decor and original exposed wooden ceiling beams. The lounge, featuring a welcoming wood burner, provides a relaxing social space to unwind after busy days exploring the surrounding countryside, villages, and coastline. The kitchen has all the appliances to make meal preparation a breeze. The first floor offers three comfortable bedrooms - one king-size, one small single bed, and one double bed with a stylish en-suite shower room. Completing the property is a contemporary family bathroom. Outside is a private, fully enclosed, and sheltered garden. Relax on the small patio with furniture or the bench seating in the shingled area. At the front of the property is a shared garden, and you’ll find a shared orchard in the grounds.
For nature lovers, the nature reserve at Holme Dunes (8 miles) has a range of coastal habitats to explore. Be sure to visit Holkham Hall (12 miles) with its stunning beach, year-round events, and acres of parkland to enjoy. Brancaster Staithe and Burnham Overy Staithe, both within 7 miles, are excellent for sailing and nature trails. Alternatively, head to the popular Georgian village of Burnham Market (7 miles), where you’ll find an array of boutique shops, delis and fine eateries.

Nice cosy cottage, well located for some great Norfolk beaches. Garden is lovely, a real afternoon sun trap. Upstairs is cramped as others have mentioned. Overall comfortable, if a little dated.

Lovely cottage in beautiful surrounding. Car parking also available. An orchard with lots of fruit was a dream. The cottage was very comfortable. modern cooker, plenty of hot water, and well stocked with cleaning material. The beds were comfortable but the ensuite was a bit small and cramp. Two bed side lights would have made reading in bed easier.. The cottage is more suited for four people.

All was fine downstairs but upstairs things were a bit tight, all three bedrooms were on the small side. Garden was very relaxing. To us oldies a big bugbear was in the property description which said Pub one mile. In reality it was nearer 2 miles and that was a big let down. We three eighty year olds could not walk to the pub.
