A beautifully refurbished, pretty and romantic Victorian terraced cottage set in the heart of the increasingly popular village of Docking. Full of charm, character and luxurious touches this delightful cottage is a go-to destination for lovers of comfort, cosiness and convenience. Pond Cottage is a lovely, light-filled cottage that has been sympathetically extended offering guests a choice of two sitting rooms on the ground floor - one at either end - to suit all seasons. The modern fitted country-style kitchen sits perfectly placed between the two. On opening the front door you are welcomed into the first sitting room, more traditional in style, with sash window, oak beamed ceiling and natural stone floor, with a rug and wood burning stove adding warmth, that perhaps lends itself more to the cooler months of the year. The stone floor continues through to the bespoke kitchen, open to the sitting room and bridged by a breakfast bar, creating a sociable and relaxing ambience between the two. The alternative sitting room at the back of the cottage is more contemporary and summery in feel with bi-fold doors opening to the landscaped, paved courtyard garden with its well-established olive tree taking pride of place. A very smart bathroom, tucked to the side of the connecting rear hallway, completes the downstairs. On the first floor, reached by traditionally steep and narrow Norfolk winder stairs, are the two fabulously lush bedrooms inviting you to enjoy a good night's rest. Pond Cottage is a superb choice for a short or longer break at any time during the year. The village of Docking offers good amenities - convenience store, pub and fish and chip shop - if you prefer to stay local, but is also perfectly positioned for getting out and about exploring coastal and rural North Norfolk. The coast at Brancaster is within a four mile reach and Burnham Market with its boutiques, art galleries and wide variety of eating options, is a mere fifteen minute drive away. Additional Information: Two well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge). Pillows and duvets are synthetic. Please can you bring your own capsules for the Bosch Tassimo coffee machine. Bedroom two has an additional single that can be selected at time of booking for an additional fee of £100. The stairs have a rope handrail. They are traditional Norfolk winder stairs which are steep and narrow with small treads. This could be a problem for anyone with mobility difficulties, as well as young children. Cot and highchair available on request. There is a fixed stair gate at the top of the stairs. A portable one is also available on request.
Pond Cottage was a brilliant find. The cottage was cosy, comfortable and extremely clean. We felt right at home and the hosts had thought of some lovely touches and lots of useful amenities too. The location was perfect for exploring North Norfolk. We followed lots of the recommendations in the guide book in the cottage which was really useful. There are so many nice delis, cafes and restaurants close by as well as beautiful nature. We would highly recommend.
A lovely little cottage that truly felt like a home away from home for us. The standard of the furnishings and equipment was excellent.
Upon arriving the cottage looked great. We found it a little hard to locate the correct key safe as we arrived around 4.30 and it was dark and the instructions to find it were unclear to us. However after calling Norfolk hideaway’s with a little help from the lovely lady on the phone we entered into a spotless, beautifully smelling, clean and cosy cottage! The location of the cottage was great for trips to the beach at Brancaster, Burnham market for shopping and dinner, Thornham deli for brunch and walks- we couldn’t fault it and we will definitely be back!! Our 5 night stay was just perfect, we played board games by the fire, ordered a local curry, walked to the fish and chip shop one evening and walked through the village with the dogs. We felt very welcome and safe. Thank you for a great stay!
We were impressed as soon as we entered the front yard which was immaculate and set well back from the road, which also allowed off road parking. As soon as you enter it’s exactly as shown, immaculate and appointed to a high standard, everything we expected and more. We both agreed it welcomed you in like a warm hug of comfort. The only point that might detract is the very narrow access stairs but the host had warned about them. They are typical feature for a cottage like this but care needs to be taken on them. The extension and layout though is well planned, well done and lovely throughout. There is no greater praise than to say we would definitely stay again.
Docking is a large village with an excellent local shop (with late opening hours) and The Railway Inn, which serves local ales and food.
There is also a fish and chip shop.
Children will enjoy the short walk to burn off some energy on Docking's playground, or a game of football on the playing fields.
Fancy some gastro-dining? Then head to The Duck Inn, just a five minute drive away in nearby Stanhoe, where you can enjoy some of the finest food at this award-winning establishment.
Pond Cottage is just a short drive from the coast and is ideally situated to access the beaches at Brancaster, Holme-next-the-Sea and Thornham.
Norfolk Lavender, Sandringham House and Houghton Hall are all close by, as is trendy Burnham Market for shopping in its stylish boutiques and lifestyle shops. Head to The Hoste, Norfolk's renowned hotel and restaurant and dine in the walled garden or the other numerous restaurants that now make this pretty Georgian village so popular.
The RSPB bird and wildlife reserves at Titchwell and Snettisham are close by too and don't forget to visit Holkham where you will adore the beach, house and parkland.
The local lanes close to the property are very quiet, so why not bring your bikes and cycle through the poppy fields in the summer months, or drive five minutes to join an intersection with the famous Peddars Way walking route, running all the way from Suffolk to the Norfolk coast path, with many lovely pubs along the way?
If you prefer a round of golf, head to the Royal West Norfolk Golf Club in Brancaster - this renowned course is rather exclusive so ensure you book in advance.
