Ivy Cottage

Docking, Norfolk, UK
Sleeps 6 | Bedrooms 3 | Bathrooms 1 | 2 Dogs Welcome - £25 per dog
It's time to let your world know, if anyone needs you, you'll be somewhere near the sea, curling your toes in the softest sands, gazing up at the stars as you make every moment of tranquillity count. Where? Ivy Cottage. A sweet retreat that hides in the wild just a few miles from the vibrant cliffs and endless beaches, where historical houses and ancient castles rise into the sky, coastal walks cling to the water's edge, samphire is waiting to be picked, and each day ends with a glass of something chilled on the balcony.

Introduction

Original beams, exposed brickwork and traditional cottage proportions weaves easily between soft contemporary interiors, creating a hideaway that feels beautifully cosy and calm. Tucked away amongst Norfolk’s wild beauty, just moments from sweeping beaches, salt-kissed walks and timeless seaside villages, Ivy Cottage is the perfect antidote to your everyday hustle and bustle.

Inside

Inside you’ll find a palette of soft muted tones, nods to the nautical and bright, sociable spaces, centred around the open flow kitchen, dining area and sitting room. After a day of beach hopping and coastal adventures, sink into the deep sofas with a glass of wine and a good book while supper sizzles on the bbq. Upstairs, the bedrooms are peaceful and understated, layered textures that create a restful atmosphere at the end of yet another day packed full of memories with your favourite people. Ivy Cottage is designed for relaxed coastal living in every season.

Outside

Step outside to an enclosed courtyard garden framed by climbing wisteria, soft planting and sun-dappled corners that invite afternoons outdoors. French doors spill open onto the patio creating an effortless flow between indoors and out, perfect for fresh flaky pastries and morning coffee in the sunshine, or alfresco suppers that stretch long into warm Norfolk evenings.

Beyond the gate, Docking offers an authentic slice of North Norfolk village life. Wander to the local pub, stock up on picnic treats from the village shop or simply set off along the quiet country lanes that weave through the surrounding countryside. Just a short drive away, the coastline unfolds with vast sandy beaches at Brancaster and Holkham, windswept dunes at Old Hunstanton and endless skies that seem to stretch on forever. Days here are best spent beach combing, crabbing, dog walking and lingering over long pub lunches before returning home to the quiet comfort of the cottage.
