Hare Cottage - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Hare Cottage is a 17th century character cottage with beamed ceilings, a log burner and exposed brickwork which has been sympathetically renovated. Downstairs has been opened up to create a lovely spacious kitchen/dining area with a sloped beamed ceiling which overlooks the back garden, as well as a spacious separate sitting room. An ideal place for up to four people, with two upstairs bedrooms and a newly fitted shower room and a good sized fully enclosed back garden. The cottage is conveniently situated within the heart of Docking village, within walking distance of a local pub, a well-stocked village shop, a fish & chip shop, children's playground and a fishing lake. The beautiful coast at Brancaster and Thornham is only 10 minutes away, with the charming Georgian village of Burnham Market approximately 7 miles drive.
This part of the world is a doggie paradise and dogs are very welcome to stay in this lovely cottage.
