Located in the heart the quintessential Norfolk village of Docking, Pond Cottage is a beautifully refurbished, romantic Victorian terraced property. Full of charm and character, with added sumptuous touches, this delightful cottage is an idyllic destination for lovers of comfort and cosiness. Ideally situated for ramblers, cyclists and exploring by car, Pond Cottage is also within easy reach of a number of fabulous golf courses.

Filled with natural light, Pond Cottage has been sympathetically extended to offer guests a choice of two sitting rooms at either end of the ground floor, to suit all seasons. On opening the front door, guests are welcomed into the first sitting room. Presented in a more traditional, rustic style, this elegant space features a sash window, oak beamed ceiling and natural stone floor. A wood burning stove adds warmth and ambient light during the cooler months of the year. The stone floor continues through to the bespoke kitchen, which is nestled between these two social spaces. The well-equipped kitchen is curated in a modern fitted country-style. Bridged by a breakfast bar, the room opens to the sitting room / dining area, creating a sociable and relaxing ambience. More contemporary and summery in feel, bi-fold doors open to the landscaped, paved courtyard garden where a well-established olive tree takes pride of place. With seating available for four guests around a grand circular table, this is the perfect spot to come together to share food, wine and conversation, as lasting holiday memories are created. A very smart bathroom with walk-in shower is tucked to the side of the connecting rear hallway, and completes this floor. Ascend the traditionally steep and narrow Norfolk winder stairs to the first floor where two plush tranquil bedrooms invite deep restorative sleep. The master bedroom hosts a king-size bed and features an ornamental fireplace, with the second bedroom offering a double bed, plus an optional additional single bed available in the eaves.

Outside there is a fully enclosed garden to the front and rear of the cottage. With lovely garden furniture, the rear courtyard garden offers a charcoal barbecue and accesses the cottage's rear sitting room / dining area, making it perfect for al fresco dining.

Pond Cottage is a superb choice for a short or longer break at any time of year. The village of Docking offers good amenities, including a convenience store approximately a ten minute walk from the cottage, The Railway Inn pub less than 20 minutes walk away, and a popular fish and chip shop right on the doorstep. Docking is perfectly positioned for exploring coastal and rural North Norfolk, with the expansive and magnificent coast at Brancaster four miles away. A short drive away the picturesque Georgian village of Burnham Market is home to independent boutiques, art galleries and a variety of eateries. The coastlines and amenities at Snettisham, Heacham, Hunstanton, Old Hunstanton, Holme-next-the-Sea, Thornham, and Burnham Overy Staithe are all within easy reach.

    Pond Cottage is in a great location to explore the west and north coasts of Norfolk. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. The rear garden is also a sun trap - a good place to enjoy a drink after a day out. Many local Pubs to choose from if you wish to eat out but do book ahead as they are popular. Lovely walks along the Peddars Way or the Norfolk Coast Path - and lots of birds to watch. All in all a very comfortable cottage in a good location. And Norfolk Hideaways we’re very efficient in dealing with a minor issue we had on arrival.

    Pond Cottage is beautiful from the moment you arrive at the wrought iron gate, taking you through a cottage garden to the lovely wooden door. The cottage is beautifully decorated and styled. The cleanliness is outstanding. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could need for a home from home stay. The furnishings are clean, good quality and create a relaxing, peaceful environment. The beds are comfortable and well presented. The bathroom has an excellent shower and the heating is easy to manage. There are two lounges with very different feels to them, one is modern and looks out on to the enclosed garden which is very nicely designed and maintained and the other is at the front of the property and has a cosy feel with a wood burner. The electrical items are of a high standard and very up to date. We loved everything about our stay at Pond Cottage and would have no hesitation in returning ourselves and recommending to others.

    Pond Cottage is a charming cottage and every bit as lovely as it looks in the photos. The owners have done a great job with the decor and fittings and included the kind of details that make a holiday home extra special such as fluffy towels and high quality bed linen. As a family of four we found the space great, especially the two living rooms. There are also many nice places to visit within easy reach - Holkham, Houghton Hall, Burnham Market, Brancaster. There were lovely places to eat, beautiful beaches and an interesting coastline. We hadn’t visited the north area of Norfolk before but will definitely return, hopefully to Pond Cottage!

    Our stay at Pond Cottage was extremely comfortable and very pleasant. We slept wonderfully and found a lovely cottage that suited us and our springer spaniel. Docking is easy access to lots of wonderful coastline and good walks. Would recommend.

    We had a wonderful stay in Pond Cottage. As the weather was so lovely for our week we spent lots of evenings in the back garden which was an unexpected added surprise! The whole cottage is beautifully decorated and the owners have thought of everything. We enjoyed cooking evening meals and the beds were so comfortable! Highly recommended.

    Pond cottage is beautifully furnished and equipped. Very nicely designed and decorated. Good parking space. A lovely little sunny garden again with very comfy furniture. The bed is very comfy and the towels and bedding, white and excellent quality. The stairs are steep and something to consider if up and down to the bathroom in the night. The road was noisy with going to work traffic. We had a wonderful week on holiday no one should be disappointed in this cottage

    Pond cottage is perfect, such attention to detail has been lavished on this cottage. Our weather was poor so to spend the day in doors was a pleasure. We would go back in a heartbeat.
