The Gatehouse Docking Reviews

Sue

A lovely cottage! Cosy and warm, even the conservatory on a dark & cold October evening for dinner and games. Comfy beds. As other reviews have said it is quite remote, but it didn't take us long to get to out to Sandringham, Burnham Market and Wells Next the Sea. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, with the beautiful views over the countryside. As per the photo there is not a door at the top of the stairs for the upstairs bedroom. This was not a problem for us but something to be aware if you need to be shut off from the lounge below. There is a stairgate installed which is easy to operate if needed.

Helen

Lovely cottage in a remote & quiet location. Fabulous night skys & saw lots of deer every day! Our grandchildren loved watching the potato crop being picked while we were there & all the different farm activity around the cottage.

Julie

Lovely cottage in a beautiful, quiet location - exactly what we wanted. Very comfortable for us and our two dogs and had everything we needed. Close to some fantastic beaches and walks - great for seeing birds and other wildlife. Would highly recommend if peace and quiet are needed.

David

A very comfortable holiday home accommodating six adults and a five month old baby with ease.. Good furnishings, but a few more pots and pans in the kitchen wouldnâ??t go amiss. Lovely peaceful location with loads of wildlife including thousands of geese coming in to settle in the surrounding fields overnight. Returning home in the evening keep your eyes out for hares, roe deer and muntjacs.

Liz

We enjoyed our week at the Gatehouse. Quiet location only a 15 minute drive from the beautiful coast. The cottage is comfortable and generally well equipped.

Angela

Lovely setting/ location for exploring Norfolk. Nice outdoor seating area to enjoy the lovely garden and watch the wildlife in peace. Great to have some bedrooms on the ground floor, ideal for those who do not like stairs. Very tastefully decorated.

Nick

Really enjoyed our time at the Gatehouse. Fantastic location and so close to so many beautiful beaches!

Natalie

Great property. Perfect to explore North Norfolk. Well equipped and comfortable with truly beautiful garden. Felt very lucky to be there as the roses were starting to peak. Thank you.
