Delightful high quality cottage
A delightful high-quality cottage where we felt right at home. Delightful furnishings and quirky olde-worlde cottage features. The owner left us a delicious homemade cake. Docking is perfectly situated for North Norfolk sights and we would stay at this property again without any hesitation.

Lovely cottage in a good location
The cottage was lovely and clean and in a great location for travelling around North Norfolk. It had everything you needed and the owners left a couple of nice welcome treats! The beds were amazingly comfy too, we had the best week’s sleep in months.

Great base to explore North Norfolk
It is a very well appointed property, quiet, charming and well equipped. My only issue was the low height of the downstairs ceiling and the doorways. If you are around six foot tall then you will not be able to stand up straight in the living room and will have to remember to duck through the doorways. The only other (very minor thing) was the lack of a freezer compartment in the fridge. And Docking itself does not have a lot to offer. But to judge from the comments in the guest book everybody who has stayed here absolutely loves it. We certainly had a most enjoyable week and if I was just a bit less tall we would be very happy to go back. There is so much in the area, beaches, wildlife, stately homes, lovely villages etc etc. Thank you for having us.

Wonderful. Diane and Bill thought of everything and we were so comfortable.
What a welcome! Warm, cosy, cake, flowers, fire laid and ready to light ---- and even a little bowl of chocolates. Our first visit to the North Norfolk area and we certainly hope to return for more of those wonderful walks, wide skies and glorious stately homes.
