Decorated in a country style, and surrounded by a fully enclosed garden, this hideaway benefits from being just a short drive from the stunning coast. Several original features of the old school remain; the big red arched front door and tiled floors in the hallway. The ground floor is spacious with two sitting rooms, a good-sized kitchen and bright garden/dining room. Equally perfect for a romantic short break or a relaxing family holiday, this lovely cottage offers flexible accommodation and a fully enclosed garden, ideal for children and dogs. The bright well-equipped kitchen incorporates all the mod cons and there is a washer/dryer in the utility room which is also perfect for storing boots, coats and makes the perfect place for your four-legged friends to lay their heads after a busy day running on the beach. You will enjoy restful nights in one of the four bedrooms, which includes a master bedroom en-suite, with king-size bed and large walk-in shower. The family bathroom comes with a decadently deep freestanding contemporary bath and separate walk-in shower - perfect for washing those sandy toes and enjoying a relaxing soak. With fabulous walking from the cottage or nearby on Barrow Common at Brancaster Staithe, don't forget to bring your walking boots. Cycle Route No.1 goes through the village too, so enjoy cycling the narrow lanes full of poppies and wildflowers during the warmer months, and spectacular skeins of geese in the winter, plus you will be rewarded with glorious elevated views of the coast. Situated in the centre of the village of Docking, on a tree-lined road overlooking the village church, this is a perfect location for exploring the whole of the North Norfolk coast. Despite its central village location, the detached house enjoys a feeling of privacy and seclusion.

The house was cosy, spacious, lovely bedrooms and the dogs enjoyed the tiled floors and garden, so very easy to mop wet footprints up after exploring the outside.Brilliant access to the coast, hamlets, pubs, woodland walks too. Would definitely return.

Just 2 things to consider. There were no hairdryers. Or if there were we couldn't find them. They are cheep as chips and most places have them. The other was the key collection and drop off. If you arrive late or leave early, as we did, factoring in the collection and return of the key is a bit of an inconvenience. especially if you have to leave early on a Sunday morning. can I recommend a key safe. We have one and it is brilliant. Thank you for letting us stay. felt like a home from home.

Was flummoxed by the heating/boiler instructions which talked about a floor-level switch which we couldn’t find and told us not to switch off the boiler even though it was never on while we were there! That needs sorting. Otherwise the house was great, Docking a good village to be in and we all had a lovely time. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay 4 Jul 2017 #### General cleanliness was ok but needed to wash the crockery and kitchen utensils before use. No micro Accommodation was good for 5 adults, 1 child and 4 dogs. Noise from the road, school and church clock was excessive. Garden was dog-friendly and safe but very overgrown (a rose bush grows over the lounge window) and uncared for - loose bricks on raised flower bed, the garden furniture was scruffy and the barbeque was dirty. The mattresses on the bunk beds were worn and uncomfortable and there is no lock on the bathroom door! The welcoming pack was a nice touch but, for the cost of the property, it was rather expensive taking in the faults mentioned. Title of review stopped at 17 words!! General cleanliness was ok but needed to wash the crockery and kitchen utensils before use. No microwavable dishes to use and the oven trays were rusty. No storage in back bedrooms - a hook on the door would have been useful. Even when the sun was out the snug was gloomy and uninviting. One of the dining room chair legs is broken. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Heacham Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-Heacham-Manor-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h4947859.Hotel-Information) > > [7 Storey Listed Windmill, dog friendly with outdoor pool & bbq](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-7-Storey-Listed-Windmill.h22235055.Hotel-Information) > > [The Farmhouse at Fincham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-The-Farmhouse-At-Fincham.h5841514.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kings Head Country Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-The-Kings-Head-Country-Hotel.h2745375.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Norfolk Accommodation - mYminiBreak](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-Norfolk-Coast-BB-Cottages-And-Camping.h22404790.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Chalk And Cheese](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-Chalk-And-Cheese.h27419847.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodlakes Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-Woodlakes-Park.h39060885.Hotel-Information) > > [Cedar Lodge, Cedar Springs, Heacham.
