The cottage is set in the picturesque village of Docking. It is constructed of local Norfolk flint, faced with mellow Holkham brick, and boasts exposed oak beams in many of the rooms, along with an open fire in the living room.

There are lots of pretty coastal villages, offering great places to eat and drink and little artisan shops. Those seeking all the fun of the fair should head to Hunstanton, known locally as ’Sunny Hunny’, where the beach seems to go on forever, and you will find a Sealife Centre, traditional seaside amusements, and a small fun fair. Heritage lovers will also be spoilt for choice with The Sandringham Estate, Holkham Hall, Blickling Hall, the Old Quarter of Hanseatic Kings Lynn and Norwich, with its numerous museums, and Norman Castle, all within easy reach. Those who know Norfolk will also know that it presents the opportunity for some of the best birdwatching in the UK. When you add in glorious coastal walks and great cycle routes, you will soon see why Royal Norfolk remains as popular as ever and indeed why Half Penny Cottage is such a hit with guests.

Biggest issue was the black sofas, so uncomfortable. Shame we had to buy our own washing up liquid but there was nothing to wash up with or wipe down hob and counter tops.Upstairs was better than down, beds were comfortable and shower in family bathroom was excellent, in fact we all used it as it was better than the others but one small handtowel between two people wasn't very good.Photos were misleading as downstairs quite small.Overall we had a lovely holiday, are welcome packs a thing of the past? Not even a pint of milk left!
