Village
Docking is an attractive central village only 3-4 miles inland from the North Norfolk Coast, making a great base to stay and explore the whole of North Norfolk. It's a traditional farming Norfolk village which boasts a village shop with post office, traditional pub and a fish and chip shop too! Its located close to Burnham Market within easy access of the coast with Brancaster to the north and Hunstanton to the west. The village also has a lovely church St Mary’s, village school and a ‘must visit’ farmers market which takes place on a Wednesday morning in the ‘Ripper Hall’ village hall
History
The village has an elevated position, in the past was nick named ‘Dry Docking’ as it had no water supply other than rainwater. In the 1760’s a single well was dug for the village providing domestic use for a farthing a bucket. The water was also transported around the village by horse and cart selling the water by the bucket.
Visit
There is such ease of access to all villages and attractions with Houghton Hall to the south and Royal Sandringham Estate and House also nearby. The superb coastline with RSBP reserves and all of the areas of outstanding natural beauty are nearby to explore. There also are lots of routes from the village for cyclists and walkers.

The kitchen was light and airy and cleverly designed to make maximum use of space, with ample utensils and cutlery. A cool cupboard alongside the fridge was very handy for storing vegetables and other items. The small courtyard garden to the rear is well-enclosed, very useful for anyone staying with a dog. While Fakenham Road can be quite busy, we found the cottage was reasonably quiet at night. The Hideaway is ideally situated for exploring the North Norfolk Coast between Hunstanton and Wells with big wide-open beaches that our dog loves. We enjoyed Holkham Park and would highly recommend the Walled Garden there, one of the best we've visited. We also had a lovely day out at Sandringham, the house tour was very good and the gardens extensive. Don't miss the Old Stables courtyard with its cafe and museum of old Royal Cars.
Perfect little cottage with everything that you would need for a stay. Every detail thought of including games in the cupboard and a big collection dvds to watch for those days when you just want to chill. Really happy with our stay, thank you for hosting us.
We absolutely loved our week’s stay in Docking. Lovely clean and homely space with everything we needed and amazing location for visiting different beaches, towns and amenities. I really appreciated the provisions that had been made for bringing a dog like the gated front and back so she could roam freely and safely. I’m sad to go home and would love to stay again!
Overall we enjoyed our stay, thank you. The cottage was very clean and well equipped.
Excellent place. Everything you need for a getaway week. Great location. Super clean. Having children’s books in the cottage were the highlight of our stay. We loved reading new stories every night.
Great property. Much enjoyed staying there. Thank you Sowerbys!
The Hideaway is in a convenient location, perfect for 2 people and uncluttered too! Was better than we expected and we would stay again!
Even better than the images had led us to believe. We especially liked the comfort, size, location and decor. It was so comfortable and without doubt the best holiday cottage/rented accommodation we have stayed in. Simply a perfect week at the Hideaway Cottage. We will be back!
We're just enjoying our last night at The Hideaway. Fire lit of course !!
We have had a fantastic week in this wonderful part of the world. The cottage has been "our home" for just 7 days and it has become just that. A superbly appointed & equipped house. Cosy & just perfect in every way. A fine location too for exploring this glorious landscape.
Thanks also to all the team at Sowerby's. We really appreciate all your help and support. It's our first holiday with you but it will not be the last.
Please pass on our thanks to the owners of the Hideaway for creating such a wonderful cottage, we have stayed in a lot of holiday cottages over the years and this is simply superb!
Even our youngest son who has Autism said he loves the holiday house!
Lovely house in a great location. Had a great birthday weekend exploring Norfolk in the sunshine! House is very well equipped for a family. Thank you very much.
We have thoroughly enjoyed our Easter break at The Hideaway. The cottage itself was very homely and well equipped, clean and tidy. It's in a great position for exploring our favourite places, including Holt, Burnham Market, Wells and the Dalegate Market. We hope to return soon! Thank you again.
We have had a great time in Norfolk and this cottage was really nice. We will probably be back! Thank you for making this cottage feel like home!
Better than Expected 10 out of 10 for cleanliness 10 out of 10 for the outside space We liked that it was so reasonably priced
We had a great time in the cottage! Lovely and cosy and such a blessing to have a well stocked kitchen!
We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hideaway. It is ideally situated and very well appointed. A much needed period of rest and respite from the rigours of everyday life! We will return to further experience the joys of what Docking and North Norfolk has to offer. Thank you so much!
We have enjoyed the most relaxing holiday at The Hideaway. The cottage was very well furnished and considered touches like the children's books, DVDs etc. were a pleasant bonus. A comfy bed and couch let us chill after days exploring NE Norfolk. Docking is a great centre to venture out to the neighbouring villages and gorgeous beaches.
We will remember this holiday for years to come and will definitely return to the cottage again.
Great location, comfortable and stylish home from home experience. We recommend the Jolly Sailors pub for casual dining and cycling from Holkham Hall.
It was very clean and it looked beautiful.
The living area was lovely and very easy with children.
A lovely few days in the most beautiful part of the world. It has been very wet, so we have been grateful to return to a comfortable warm cottage with great facilities. Thank you!
