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.

Beautiful, warm, cosy cottage. Comfortable and clean. Well equipped, catered for all our needs. Comfortable beds and sofa. Good size TV and excellent Wi-Fi. Our large breed dog enjoyed the garden. We had a lovely and relaxing stay. We enjoyed walks with the dog in Burnham Overy Staithe, Holkham beach and estate, Sheringham park, Felbrigg and Blickling Estate, Holme beach etc. Recommend food at White Horse in Brancaster, Three horseshoes in Warham, Lord Nelson in B. Thorpe, drinks at the Hoste, the shop in Deepdale, Bordolli pizza, and the food market on Wednesday in Docking.
Excellent comfortable accommodation. Well equipped and very clean. We enjoyed the Duck Inn at Stanhoe.
We love Norfolk, We feel it is ideally situated for easy access to North Norfolk.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was well equipped and had everything we needed.
Lovely cottage, everything we needed and handy for everywhere. Early morning beach walks with our dog and discovering the White Horse at Holme.
The weather was lovely. Great beaches to visit. Great location. Very pretty village. Lovely open plan cottage. Shame about the road noise.Thank you for the cake. Bought some lovely jam & marmalade from the village market.

Lovely stay at Feld Cottage as normal (Our 3rd stay) Welcome items nice touch.
spotlessly clean, good location for exploring the area.
A great week in Field Cottage. Well equipped, comfortable and cosy and a perfect location for us. Off road parking too!The weather was glorious for us, an added bonus, Norfolk blue skies are like no other. Hope to return next year. Walks at Thornham : exploring old Kings Lynn and the museum. Castleacre Priory and Binham Priory. Churches with angel roofs… South Creake in particular. And then the profusion of wildflowers and blossom in the hedges and verges…. Stunning, Oh yes Docking market on Wednesday morning was a delight!
Snettisham Farm feeding the lambs Walking along the long sandy beaches at Holkham, Brancaster and Old Hunstanton.Seeing the seals at Brancaster Beach ,Sandringham Estate were all real highlights.
We have stayed at this cottage quite a few times so that speaks for itself. We have booked to return later in the year. A delightful stay.
Fantastic location with close by amenities such as Spar shop, local chip shop, park and village pub. Field Cottage has easy access to touring Norfolk and visiting other areas of interest. For us it was a lovely bolt hole for dog walks on Brancaster Beach, Heacham & Hunstanton.
Nice, light and spacious property. The garden was perfect for a dog, and the property was more than spacious for a family of 4.
A last minute booking found us a great cottage and the booking process and follow up communications all excellent. Website pictures gave an accurate reflection of the property. Great location, ideal size for us.
A great family cottage!
My daughter & family stayed here and they enjoyed the spacious open plan living space and the children’s bedrooms are great for star gazing!

10 out of 10 for cleanliness and the garden. Clean and comfortable, feels like a home from home.
Better than Expected. Had a much more spacious feel downstairs than we were expecting and the "Welcome Hamper" was a lovely touch which we were not expecting - Thank you from all of us 10 out of 10 for cleanliness - It was spotlessly clean 10 out of 10 also for the garden. The best bit was the fact we all liked it!! Also, the owners have ensured the heating is set to keep the property very warm and cosy. This was very much appreciated by ourselves as not all rental properties will do this. We hope to come again and would recommend this property to others too.
Pics of the downstairs in particular do not do it justice. Upstairs has been refurbished in a more modern style since photos were taken. |
Very light and tastefully furnished with some lovely pictures.
Comfortable and easy to live in with 2 dogs
Enjoyable stay.
Thank you
My second stay at this very comfortable dog friendly cottage.
It is superbly situated to be convenient for beaches and town. It was beautifully clean when we arrived and the garden was very good being really secure for the dog.
We would definitely stay again.
Lovely Cottage - Weather has been beautiful - cold and frosty. Love Burnham Market!
Fantastic meals at The Orange Tree, Thornham and The Duck, Stanhoe.
A lovely place to stay in the perfect location to explore the local area. Great Walks along Brancaster Beach and a visit to Burnham Deepdale's Christmas Market is a must.
Fabulous Cottage. Had everything we needed
Nice stay in a good cottage. The Orange Tree in Thornham highly recommended for food.
Fantastic weather and great walks along the beach to sea the seals at Blakeney Point. Lovely food at The Railway Inn.
