Your countryside retreat awaits at this old post office in Docking. The house has been thoughtfully restored into a cosy sanctuary with a wood-burning fire in the living room and a well equipped kitchen. There are board games, books and child-friendly amenities. It’s worth noting the stairs leading up to the attic room are steep and narrow, but there’s plenty of charm and character. Beyond here, it’s just a short stroll to the local shop and restaurant. It’s also a fantastic base for exploring the North Norfolk Coast – Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham are both within easy driving distance.

About Norfolk
With a coastline defined as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Norfolk Broads boasting National Park status, there’s plenty to keep nature lovers occupied in Norfolk. Great Yarmouth enjoys the best of both worlds where a long beach provides days of paddling in the shallows and wandering the promenade, ice-cream in hand. It also acts as the jumping-off point for boat trips puttering into the wildlife-filled Broads. Further...
