Fallons - 04/12/2017
I just wanted to let you know that we were thrilled with this cottage which we stayed in for a week from 25th August. I had my American cousins staying and they were so impressed both with the cottage and the location. It was incredibly clean & homely, and the welcome cake was lovely. Please pass on our thanks to whoever prepared and maintains this property.
The Cornforths - 25/08/2017
'We had a wonderful time at this cosy, comfortable and extremely practical cottage-ideal for us and our two Cocker Spaniels. Both, front and back garden are dog proof-our little Houdini didn't stand a chance! On arrival we found home made cake which was a lovely touch. The level of cleanliness was outstanding-the cleanest holiday property we have ever stayed at! Docking is perfectly positioned for visiting other nice places in Norfolk and the local Spar shop, one minute's walk from the cottage, is open 7 days a week, 6am-10pm (also a post office) and the staff is very friendly. Thank you to the owners/caretaker/cleaner for providing such a lovely place! We hope to return ourselves and have already recommended!"

Docking
Location
All roads in North Norfolk seem to lead to Docking. It's a busy village with an excellent small supermarket and post office, a fish and chip shop, village pub, a large village playing field, tennis court and bowling green. It also has its own weekly village market every Wednesday morning at The Ripper Hall between 9am and 1pm, where a great selection of local produce is available. On Mondays freshly cooked wood-fired pizzas are available from Bordolis outside Ripper Hall - delicious! Docking also has its own coarse fishing lake that is available on a day ticket basis.
The village is perfectly placed for the North Norfolk Coast and its long, fine sandy beaches. Brancaster and The Royal West Norfolk Golf Club are about five miles away. There are two golf courses in Hunstanton, which is less than eight miles away. The Titchwell Bird Reserve, home to terns and waders is close by. The ultra fashionable Georgian village of Burnham Market, Sandringham and the market towns of Fakenham and King's Lynn are also nearby.
