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.

Lovely cottage. Could not ask for anymore. We used to own a holiday cottage in Cornwall so we know how hard the owners worked to make the cottage as nice as possible.
Lovely cottage with a great location for the beautiful beaches at Brancaster and Holkham (not enough time to visit Blakeney this trip), towns of Brancaster and Wells-next-the-Sea and of course Sandringham which was full of autumn colour.
Fully equipped and perfect for our short stay with our dogs.
We were lucky to be visiting during the Norfolk Restaurant week. We ate at The Railway Inn on our first evening. The food was great and definitely a cut above “scampi and chips” as mentioned in your restaurant guide.
Also ate at The Duck Inn which was very pleasant. The local businesses were very accommodating with our furry friends too. Definitely will be back.
A beautifully kept cottage, very comfortable. we loved the fact there were dog bowls and biscuits for our pooches. we had a lovely week.
Very comfortable cottage , great places for walking the dog, my girl loved it . The beds were really comfortable and great having a shower room + separate bathroom, the only thing missing was a teapot. Would certainly book again.
A very well equipped cottage located in a lovely village for exploring this part of Norfolk. A cottage perfect for a small family with a modern interior. The store cupboard essentials in the cottage were very well received as you always forget something when self catering! Thank you for the doggy biscuits too. Drinks in the courtyard on the lovely sunny days - parasol very welcome. Well proportioned living area for a small family. Walking around the village of an evening. Exploring this part of Norfolk for the first time.
Lovely cottage, great location, downstairs space lovely with comfy sofas, fully equipped kitchen with high quality glassware, crockery, sharp knives and good range of plates & pans. Kitchen very well equipped Lounge comfortable with log burner Good location and safe off road parking.
Nice Cottage , nice village. We enjoyed the Norfolk coast path and the beaches.
We had a very good time while staying at Crarves and found the accommodation comfortable and well equipped generally. It suited us well. The information folder was very useful and we managed to visit the bird reserves nearby which was a main aim of the visit.
The cottage was immaculate, and very well appointed. Completely dog safe at the back. The village was pretty, with local grocery and fish and chip shops. My only minus, was no welcome pack which was a first for us, but other than that the cottage was faultless. Our favourite part of the stay was Holkham beach.
Lovely clean and welcoming cottage. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Ideal for dog owners… especially liked the hot outdoor shower in the garden, never have to bring a dirty or sandy dog in the house… the dog loved it too!!. Excellent base for exploring our favourite beaches at Brancaster and Holkham.
1 Crarves was so comfortable and convenient. Best holiday let we have ever stayed in + such good value!
1 Crarves was very warm and nicely done out. The downstairs area very well equipped. Nice to have downstairs bathroom.A good location. We would stay again!
1 Crarves was modern and tastefully furnished. We liked the standard of the accommodation and how well equipped it was. This property is perfectly located for exploring north Norfolk.
A lovely, comfortable cottage which was great for cycling week in North Norfolk. Very comfortable and in a great location for exploring. Extremely well equipped and comfortable.
Beautifully presented and well equipped. In convenient location. Thanks to the owners and housekeepers for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Lovely decor. Clean and well thought out design. Cellar room is lovely
All very new and modern with a lovely open plan living area.
