Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Docking

Docking is a pretty village near the North Norfolk coast. Take a wander from your holiday cottage in Docking, and you will find a peaceful community that time seems to have forgotten. Located on some of the highest land in the county has historically made it difficult for its residents to access water, earning it the nickname Dry Docking. Docking is an ancient community perfect for visitors who want to experience life in a rural Norfolk village. On Station Road, there is a post office, a small grocery, and an excellent fish and chip shop on the High Street. Not to be missed on self-catering holidays in Docking, the Railway Inn is a cosy pub which has been serving good food and ales since 1868.

At the foot of the town’s distinctive striped cliffs, an elegant seafront is home to pitch and putt, crazy golf, bandstand concerts, and funfairs.
