Savour a stay in this exquisite cottage in the North Norfolk village of Docking. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom, brick and flint retreat offers bright, contemporary living space and a sunny garden for outdoor relaxation. Providing dog-friendly accommodation too, it could be an ideal hideaway for a family or friends eager to bring a dog. Light the wood burner to bring a cosy glow inside on chilly days and head off to the beach at Brancaster, 4 miles away, on summer afternoons.

Wander inside via the glass doors leading to a double-height hall, then amble on into the gorgeous lounge, which opens up into the kitchen/diner. This will be at the heart of the holiday home throughout your stay. Stoke up the wood burner, switch on the Smart TV and kick back and relax together after your exciting adventures. Rustle up tasty meals to enjoy together at the table in the kitchen or the dining room, which has garden doors that can be opened on fine days. A WC and one of your bedrooms, a double, with en-suite shower room, are downstairs. Another double, also with an en-suite shower room, and a twin are on the first floor, together with a family bathroom. Step out into the garden to dine under the stars and play games with the children or pets on the grass on summer evenings.

Choose between a glorious array of beautiful beaches along the North Norfolk coast. Hunstanton, 7.5 miles to the west of you and one of the few places in the country where you can see the sun rise and set over the sea, is also a lovely place to swim and play on the sand. Visit Houghton Hall, also 7 miles away, and spend an afternoon walking through the Sandringham Estate, 8 miles away.
