Staying at
The Look Out in Docking

Quick guide to your location

Docking is a well-located North Norfolk village surrounded by unspoilt countryside, providing easy access to the area’s country and coastal attractions. The village has plenty of amenities with a village shop, post office, a pub, fish & chip shop and a large playing field with children’s play area. Being centrally located allows for easy access to the coast and surrounding villages such as Sedgeford, Hunstanton, Thornham, Brancaster, Stanhoe and Burnham Market. Within these towns/villages you will find plenty of things to keep you amused. With many stunning beaches, wide open spaces, spectacular coastal walks, an abundance of wildlife, award-winning restaurants, and plenty of unique, independent shops to discover. Most notably, the expansive sandy beach at Brancaster is just 7 minutes’ drive and gourmet gastropub The Duck Inn is a mere 4 minute drive away in the village of Stanhoe.

Guestbook

We had a great week staying at the Look Out. The house was of high standard, with everything we could need. We liked the location and village and although not situated directly on the coast, it is within very easy access to some lovely places. I highly recommend Barefoot Retreats.

A beautiful home in a peaceful location. So many lovely touches to the decor! A perfect spot to enjoy some mother-daughter time and the Hunstanton tennis week. We loved the Hoste Arms in Burnham Market for dinner and the White Horse in Brancaster
