Poppy Cottage (Docking) (2), Docking, Norfolk | Cottage in Docking
1 Bedroom Cottage in Ringstead, Docking
Situated just outside the village of Docking in a peaceful rural setting, Poppy Cottage is a wildlife enthusiasts delight, ideal for couples or solo travellers. This comfortably furnished terraced cottage forms part of the conversion of a historic Victorian building. In a tranquil location, yet just a 15 minute drive to Brancaster beach, this hideaway is the perfect getaway for ultimate relaxation.
The ground floor comprises of a comfortable sitting room featuring a television and good library of books. The period fireplace with electric fire, adds extra warmth and ambient light on chiller evenings. Cuddle up under a blanket after a long walk to indulge in peace and quiet as the flames flicker softly. Spacious and well-equipped, the kitchen/ diner offers table and chairs, plus access to directly into the fully enclosed private garden. Upstairs, the master bedroom hosts a king-size bed served by an en-suite shower room, and enjoys delightful rural views. This sheltered spot is a calm haven for a cup of morning coffee or sharing in a evening glass of wine. And when the sun is shining, fire up the barbecue and create some lasting holiday memories.
Poppy Cottage is in an idyllic location for observing wildlife and for exploring the great outdoors. In winter, skeins of pink footed geese in their thousands are seen and heard flying directly over the cottage morning and evening, as they travel between feeding and roosting sites. Those with a keen eye will spot the geese feeding in the fields that surround Docking, which are also abundant with hares, muntjac, and majestic birds of prey.
A short drive away, the 'wader spectacular' takes place at Snettisham RSPB reserve each winter. When the tides and conditions are right, a truly remarkable display of huge clouds of birds whirl overhead, attracting Peregrine falcons to hunt. Poppy Cottage is equally close to the north Norfolk coast, with the beautiful beach at Brancaster near by. Turn left as you walk onto the beach, and head down to the creek where you will find a colony of seals basking in the sun and bobbing in the water. Titchwell RSPB Reserve and Holme Dunes Nature Reserve are bucket-list destinations for spotting spring and autumn migrations and seabird watching.
Docking is well served with a very welcoming pub, a restaurant run by a Michelin-star team, an excellent village shop, a fish and chip shop, and a doctor's surgery. The popular Georgian village of Burnham Market is a short drive away, as is HM the King's Sandringham estate, Norfolk Lavender in Heacham, Houghton Hall, and the classic Victorian seaside resort of Hunstanton.
