Docking is a popular village just a few minutes drive from many coastal villages with many long sandy beaches to explore. The neighbouring village of Brancaster is a popular place especially with families and dog lovers just a few miles from Docking. At nearby Old Hunstanton children can play in the soft sand dunes against a back drop of impressive beach huts followed by a paddle along the water’s edge.
A little further around the coast discover Wells-next the-sea; with picturesque harbour excellent crabbing can be had. The beaches are adorned with colourful beach huts and endless walks along the shoreline where you can often spot grey seals basking on the sand.

Take a walk along the beach from Wells and discover Holkham beach; a firm favourite including the Queen’s Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment. On summer days listen to the sound of galloping hoofs on the soft sand and watch the cavalry swimming, a glorious sight and one not to be missed. Directly off the beach is Lady Anne’s drive leading you to Holkham Hall which in itself is a great day out for the whole family. Set in a stunning 25,000 acre landscape it is steeped in history and home to the Earl of Lester and his family. With bicycle hire available why not explore the grounds amongst a shady woodland backdrop enjoying picnics in the summer whilst observing the fallow and red deer.

This cottage is in a great location for exploring the North Norfolk coast. It had everything we needed. The bedroom set up was great with 2 teenagers who dont want to share a room on holiday any more!

This property is in a great location for exploring North Norfolk. The cottage was equipped well enough for our needs. I believe a bit of extra cleaning could have made the cottage a little less shabby looking. Beds were very comfortable.

We needed a relaxing and peaceful getaway after a very busy few months, and Woodcocks looked perfect - and it really was in reality. Set in a very quiet courtyard, off the main road, it was cosy and clean with extremely comfortable mattresses - something I am always anxious about when I go away! The location was perfect for visiting all along the nRead moreorth coast, and Brancaster beach close enough to drive to for an evening walk every day. We took our dogs but if your dogs like to sleep with you, this cottage isn't suitable as they are not allowed upstairs. The enclosed rear space was perfect for them to mooch around in and there were loads of walks nearby. We'd definitely stay again! And - the best fish and chips we'd had for years is right next door :-) Hide

The cottage was comfortable and close to everything we wanted to see. Beds are comfortable and well presented. There is a Spar shop close by, which has everything you need. The Railway Inn is in walking distance, however if you are not so good on your feet you may need to drive. Food is ok. There are lots of lovely places to eat if youre happy to Read moretravel, Hide

We had a lovely few days in the cottage. It's in a great location near some amazing beaches, a Spar local and a fish and chip shop. The patio at the back is very small and has no grassy bit. We just took the dogs to the grassy bits around the corner instead.

Lovely and clean. Great location with a dog friendly pub in the village and a chip shop literally around the corner. Bed really comfy with nice bedding and towels. Parking right outside the cottage in an extremely quiet cul de sac. Close to the areas we wanted to visit eg Holkham Hall.
