Marigold Cottage, Docking, Norfolk

Nice touches, like the wood burner being on when we arrived, lovely location, peaceful. Could have done with a curtain over the front door and window.

Simply beautiful. Magical for all the family. Local pub serves spectacular food. Shop open for long periods of the day and evening, selling pretty much all your daily needs.

Not many essentials left I.e coffee, cleaning clothes etc. Ok but not the usual standard we have had at other Norfolk properties. Kitchen requires a bit of attention, looks a bit shabby-very chipped paint and kitchen sink a bit mouldy

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in Marigold Cottage, it was very clean and comfortable, and the area was so quiet with just the sounds of the birds and the cows in the morning, what a way to start your day. There was everything in the cottage you could have wished for and more such as high chair, buggy, picnic basket if you so wished. The cottage was in a good position for shops, beaches and some lovely walks.

Lovely location. Cottage bigger than thought which was great. Pots and pans could do with being updated and garden area over grown. These minor things didn’t ruin our break. Would go back again.

Marigold Cotrage is a lovely place to stay. Clean, well presented and with pretty much everything you need. Good parking, fresh sheets, handy and quiet location. Good infornation and yummy goodies in the welcome pack. Downsides ; showering over the free standing bath was difficult. No shower curtain and a short hand held shower. Communication with Norfolk Hideaways was not so good. We advised our party would arrive on seperate dates, they replied stating there was no discount? I wasn't asking for discount I was being courteous. When I contacted them as I thought I left a swimming costume behind and they asked £15 to post it back! Booking agent aside, overall we really recommend this lovely cottage.

The stay was good but always room for improvement . Like cleaning work surfaces and storage jar found to have food sauces on them and having to repair gate padlock to make it safe for the dog.

Marigold Cottage is very well located in a lovely village, in a quiet position right next to a bridleway so great to get straight out for walks. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped, beds in particular were very comfortable. Not much storage space in the bedrooms though, could definitely do with another chest of drawers. The only negative for me was that there is only a bath and no shower. It is a small bath too, not ideal when you are a family of 5 all wanting to shower off after the beach.

Well maintained cottage in splendid location for beaches and local amenities. Easy access to good dog walks. The weather played ball too!

The location of this cottage is amazing, the sort of place I like to be, very quiet, lovely walks on your doorstep and some fishing around the corner perfect. The cottage looks lovely from the outside and looks nice on the inside but when you came to sit on the sofa it was awful the padding in the cushions was so worn that no matter what way you sat on it it was uncomfortable. All it would take is to put some new cushions in the covers, a lot of people have sat on them and they are very old. The stairs are very slippery to walk up and down it would be much safer if they had put individual carpet square on each step. As for the bed it was horrible, we stayed in the master bedroom (king size bed) and the mattress was one of the worst I have ever slept in (not that you could even sleep in it) my daughter had also said that the double bed was also uncomfortable. The mattress had what looked like a pot hole in it and felt like one, was very uncomfortable so ruined my holiday as I got no sleep. For the money we paid I would say that one dish washer tablet was a bit tight, I had to phone up Norfolk hideaways on the first day as had no fire wood so had no cosy fire on the first night which we where all looking forward too and although there is nothing to say you get a welcome pack for the money you pay it would not hurt to put one in.
