Bumblebee Cottage is a gorgeous comfy cottage that has everything you need for a relaxing stay in Norfolk. It is very clean and makes it a relaxing stay. The welcome booklet we received prior to stopping was excellent, full of useful tips for the area, details of the property and local amenities. We were warmly greeted by Paul and Stella and they checked in on us throughout our stay ensuring we had everything. In addition they let us know about a local boat trip viewing the eclipse ( something we hadn't noticed ) and even provided us with eclipse glasses. They really go over and above to make...more
Our second stay at Malthouse Farm Barn and I’m sure not our last! The accommodation is absolutely fabulous inside and out. Totally dog and human friendly, everything you need is there. We have stayed in a lot of holiday cottages over the years and can say categorically this is the best. The large, walled garden is lovely to sit in and totally dog safe. It has the added bonus of a dog shower inside a brick outhouse, our two had a spa treatment after each beach visit. The barn is huge and beautifully appointed. It is scrupulously clean everywhere - usually I feel I have to wash crockery etc befo...more
We were delighted with our stay in the Peanut. What a cosy place, with a lovely blue colour scheme that was very calming and relaxing. We found a lovely basket of goodies ready for us when we arrived, with several little delightful personal touches.The kitchen area was very well equipped with cooker, dishwasher and fridge freezer all in new condition. The bedroom was comfortable and the shower/ toilet were perfect. Our dog Freddie loved the enclosed paddock and it gave us peace of mind to know that he could not escape! We found a basket containing towels, dishes and toys for him and throws wer...more
The best holiday let we have ever stayed in by a distance. Fully equipped to a very high standard for both humans and dogs. The host was very communicative and could not have been more helpful. Highly likely that we will return.
We have just enjoyed a lovely break at Sea Urchin, it's a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the beach. The property has everything you need, and Robert is fantastic at assisting with anything you need, we came with my mother in law and 2 daughters along with our 2 dogs, its the first laxe we've ever stayed where we are provided dog towels and treats. We have loved our stay thank you
Thank you for the consistently warm welcome. I book the barn because it’s so easy to flop onto the sofa and know that Molly, my ageing rescue dog can find her way around. She’s able to sleep in the living room in sight of us and we get to sleep in a bed that’s equally as comfortable as those at home. That is priceless because if she’s happy, I’m happy. We had such a tricky summer, humans and Molly with significant health problems and we were, at times, uncertain if we’d get here so this was a much needed break. The barn is by the owner’s home - lovely Tracey and Dan’s - and we barely saw them ...more
This was our 2nd stay at Sandmartins, 3rd visit with ERC as stayed at Seaview Cottage previously at Bacton. ERC are brilliant at what they do and you get what it says on the tin 'a dog friendly holiday' not just dog tolerant. A lovely peaceful bungalow at the end of a close with a shady garden. Leoni the owner so helpful and friendly. We will definately be back
We absolutely loved Oak Cottage. It had everything we needed for us and our two greyhounds. We’re fussy about sleeping arrangements and this suited us (and the dogs) perfectly. Having the beds made up with dog friendly bed linen meant we didn’t have to bring ours with us which was great. Everything was clean, bright and in good condition. The kitchen was so well equipped with everything you could need for meals, as well as plenty of cleaning products, refuse sacks, foil, cling film, dishwasher tablets etc. Easy to use oven, which is a bonus for me. The bathroom had nice hand wash, shower gel a...more
This was the second time we stayed at the Walnut and we had a wonderful time. The owners helped us to settle our rescue dog in and provided us with extra rugs so he could walk around. The hot tub was lovely and we enjoyed the views of open fields whilst we sat in it - we saw deers a couple of times. The dogs loved the secure field. The inside of the cottage is set out well. We took the dogs to cart gap beach and happisburgh beach which are fairly close although due to one of dogs being an older lady we drove there. We look forward to visiting the Walnut again
My wife Jenny, Springer Spaniel Bertie & myself enjoyed a very relaxing week at the cottage which involved driving around the area, enjoying walks and seeking out lunchtime pubs! For the second year running we had a fabulous meal at the seafood restaurant ‘Ricky Bottoms’ near Cromer. We also enjoyed some evenings in when I cooked although the local pub, the Crown Inn, serves up good value ‘pub grub’. My only mild disappointment was that the single beds in the second bedroom are not particularly comfortable although probably fine for kids but not 6ft, 16 stone adults! All appliances, WiFi...more
A beautiful barn conversion, really well equipped. As usual a load of things for the dogs including toys, throws, green spaces etc. really calm feeling in the cottage and well placed geographically for the nearby beach or inland to towns for shopping. Our week whizzed by and we’ll definitely book there again!
Stones Throw is a very clean and comfortable bungalow in a quiet location. The bungalow has a secure garden and is very dog friendly. It’s a short walk to a beautiful beach which was fantastic for our young and energetic dog. Bacton Woods and Pigneys Woods are not far away and perfect for walking during the hot weather. Local cafes, shop, pub, two fish and chip shops and a Chinese takeaway in walking distance. We really enjoyed our visit to North Norfolk very much and would love to return again. After reading lots of reviews we can definitely confirm that East Rushton Cottages delivered on ...more
We spent 4 comfortable nights in The Salty Seadog. We loved the proximity to the beach- just 5 minutes walk, the compact and well appointed lodge and the sea breeze so cooling after the heat of London. The lodge was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay and we loved sitting out on the decking in the evening listening to the waves and looking at the stars. We slept well in the comfortable bed and appreciated the showers (one for each of the two bedrooms) with constant hot water. The owner Helen responded quickly to any queries we had and provided information on local eve...more
Enjoyed our 10 days at “Dormy”. Shoreline and open sandy beach a short walk away and open fields in front of the property with sightings of deer and the first arrival of geese. Good local options to eat out. Short drive to Stalham for supermarket and day boat trips on the Broads.
We spent 7 nights in Ruby Gem and fell in love with the cottage (Sept 2026). Everything is first class and the three of us really enjoyed the stay. The owners, Penny and Chris, kindly left a really special box of goodies for us, which was a lovely surprise, and we thoroughly enjoyed them. The cottage is well laid out, so nicely furnished with lots of space. Little touches meant a lot, like special engraved dog tags to use with the name of the cottage engraved on them, so dogs can be safe if lost, and the eggs from their own hens - which were so tasty. We had an amazing garden shed which...more
This has to be the most beautifully equipped cottage we have stayed in out of many places we have visited over the 10 years we've been coming to Norfolk. The Forge is small but perfectly formed as they say! The kitchen is as least as well equipped as our home kitchen with plenty of cutlery and crockery even though it is only designed for 2 people. The bedroom is spacious with plenty of storage and a small ensuite bathroom, For the dogs there was a big pile of toys and treat, beds and bowls and towels. We didn't actually need any of these because we brought our own but if we'd forgotten anyt...more
Once again we have thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Bristow Barn, we love the location being a little out of the way we don’t have to worry about our reactive Labrador and we can relax . We will look forward to our fifth visit probably in early autumn. Sheila
A very secure garden with a great location quiet and close to the beach the owners are just over the road and are very friendly and helpful, the cottage has good facilities a good seating area outside and the garden gets plenty of sun if you are lucky enough to have any. The area is good for dogs it has steps and a slope to the beach that was useful as we have a old dog who is unable to get down the steps the beach has both areas where you can and can't walk dogs but is well sign posted and there is plenty of beach to walk your dogs,
It was our first time at the grove, We had a fabulous welcome pack for the girls and us humans. Well stocked kitchen plenty of cutlery, and cooking pans and trays for the oven if you are eating in which we do mostly even shampoo and toothbrushes if you forget yours, lots of dog toys , the list can go on... It was so clean and wonderful garden lots of outdoor seating everything was absolutely fantastic Pete and Ali have thought of everything Thank you for a wonderful stay and we will be back soon. Already to book again
We have just returned from a wonderful week staying at Hidden Gem in Winterton with our two dogs. The cottage (which we had stayed at some years ago) is perfect. It had everything we needed and is beautifully presented. The location could not be better - we could walk out of the door straight onto the dunes. Lots of great places to visit and very dog friendly. We will definitely be back!
Absolutely fantastic place. From location to how dog friendly it was. Customer service was 100% as well. Our dogs had an absolute blast. We'll be back!
We found Church Field Cottage very clean and tidy with plenty of nice touches for the humans and dogs, everything is very well thought out making for a relaxing holiday. Would definitely recommend and would not hesitate in booking another cottage through East Ruston Cottages Ltd.
Fantastic location and facilities for the dogs, lots of treats for the dogs on arrival and very comfy furnishings. Games room and pool table were a fantastic touch and my teenage son loved it Nice and isolated, but everything still within a short drive. Local beach is fantastic.
The whole experience was excellent. The house was gorgeous and the area lovely. This was the first holiday with our dogs and will do it again.
Our 2nd stay everything you could need for a family holiday well stocked kitchen very comfortable beds one en-suite bedroom downstairs very secure garden perfect for rescue dogs who can be reactive. So many places within easy reach and lots of quiet walks around. The welcome basket on arrival was very much appreciated, we will definitely book again.What’s not to love at Bristows Barn,
We had a wonderful stay at Corner Cottage. Claudia was in contact before, during and after our arrival so we knew we could reach out if we had any problems. Cottage was clean and well presented when we arrived and the two humans and one dog really enjoyed our welcome goodies!! Our bed was comfy and the dog had the choice of many! Kitchen is well equipped if you don’t want to eat out. The garden in late summer was absolutely beautiful and a real delight.
This bungalow provides excellent and comfortable accommodation. Everything we needed and more. Relaxing, peaceful place with beautiful beach close by. Very good for dogs. The location is quite isolated down a single track road which is it's only downside. Overall an excellent property.
We had the most wonderful week in this beautiful, peaceful cottage - our second time here! It’s in a fantastic location, just a short walk from the beach and within easy reach of so many gorgeous sandy beaches, country parks, walks and the seals at Horsey. The cottage is wonderfully dog-friendly and had everything we needed for a perfect, relaxing stay. A special mention for the incredible homemade gluten-free and vegan cheesecake from our lovely host — absolutely delicious! We would highly recommend this cottage and can’t wait to return.
We arrived with all the information we needed a welcome box was left for us with a happy birthday card . There is everything that you need for a quiet and relaxing stay. Washing machine internet and plenty of cooking utensils Plenty of towels left ( could have been bath sheets )and covers and bowls for the dogs near and handy for shops and tearooms and lots of walks for dogs overall relaxing and quiet.
We have just returned home after spending two wonderful weeks at Rooster Barn, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The barn is absolutely stunning — beautifully presented, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The large garden was a huge bonus for us, especially as we had our dogs with us. They absolutely loved having so much space to run around and explore! The location was perfect for us too. It was so peaceful and quiet, yet made a great base for exploring Norfolk and getting out and about during our stay. We enjoyed our two week...more
Lovely little house, very clean. Handy location across the road from a shop, cafe & garden centre with huge selection of dog treats. Ten minute walk to the beach (15 minutes if you're stopping for sniffs!), which was beautiful & sandy, and dog-friendly. Lots of cafe's and places to eat - definitely try the bakery & the farm shop nearby. Easy to get to the supermarkets & pleasure beach in Great Yarmouth. Spacious house, with enclosed garden, and lots of useful things for dogs, as well as fully equipped kitchen. Well worth a trip, we will be back!
We have stayed at places managed by East Ruston Cottages many times. They are terrific, always efficient and helpful. We love North Norfolk and its fantastic beaches. Scratby is a small but friendly place. The dogs loved their holiday too. You should try ERC. 10/10!
Our first stay with ERC- down in Norfolk for annual Basset Beach invasion. Cottage perfect for our purposes - everything a dog could require was provided! Sofa stairs, cool mat, crates , buggies, rigid doggie paddling pool….you name it, it was there. Great location for beaches, forests, countryside walks. Very comfortable for humans too. Highly recommended
Boundary Lodge was very nice and very good for the dogs. Loved the beaches especially Horsey Beach with its curious seals. The welcome pack was so welcoming! Just a couple of things we would have liked for the kitchen as we like to cook even on holiday!- an air fryer, champagne flutes, more than 2 egg cups, a four slice toaster, more pans, garlic crusher, a wok, chopsticks. Also if we had been there in the summer a sunshade for the garden bench plus a small picnic type table to use with the folding chairs if you were sitting under the lovely walnut tree. Not criticising at all but just sugge...more
We all absolutely loved our stay at Thatch Cottage, dogs included! Thatch Cottage is a perfect holiday home, everything you need is there, well equipped kitchen, ample space for everyone and lovely big secure garden, perfect for us and the dogs. Great walks on your doorstep, we loved being able to walk to the beach straight from the cottage. The beaches along this stretch of coast are glorious and so dog friendly! We enjoyed the local cafes and pubs and had a particularly lovely Sunday lunch at the Ingham Swan. We would love to return and would highly recommend this property to family and frie...more
A wonderful place to go to for a peaceful holiday,a realy well thought out chalet,and plenty ofdog bowls,great walks and close to Winterton village,also a realy nice dog friendly cafe,we will be going back there again,its our go to place,from now on,happy days.
Great location for us Beaches and broads in easy reach Lodge very comfortable and welcoming Great to have a doggie shower !
Beautiful cottage, extremely comfortable and well equipped. In a peaceful rural location. A very relaxing place to stay.
We booked Badgers Retreat with Bristows Barn so 10 of us could have a family holiday. Worked brilliantly lovely house for two people think it was a nice quiet escape for our family members after the noise next door. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and bathroom. So many places within easy reach and quiet walks for the dogs. We would definitely book again.
We had a fantastic few days staying at Vineyard Cottage with our 5 Cavaliers! Great location, comfy (super dog friendly) cottage that had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. Our 5 Cavaliers came back tired after a lovely week! I highly recommend East Ruston Cottages.
Lovely view from window. Lots of doggy things bowls beds leads ect. Sadie enjoyed her stay. Cafe dog friendly on site pity pub wasn't. Recommend joining the haigh club dog friendly and cheap beers. Caravan was clean and bright nicely decorated. Somewhere to sit outside was a nice touch.
Just back from a lovely short stay in Bishy Barnabee. Accommodation exactly as described with lovely enclosed courtyard for Millie to play in. Good countryside walk to the nearby beach through the dunes, but just a heads up there are steep steps down to the beach. Farm was lovely and quiet and very well maintained, the little goats are very cute. It’s very handy for visiting other villages down the coast, this is my first time using East Ruston Cottages so we ‘sussed’ out some of their other properties in the area as I’ll definitely be back.
We have just returned from a long weekend in East Cottage, Waxham. Just wanted to say how brilliant the cottage was, secure garden, the setting on the farm was so peaceful, and the hot tub was just amazing. We had a lovely long walk every morning to Waxham beach and then to Dunes cafe for breakfast!! Every cafe and pub we went to was so dog friendly… I can not recommend the cottage and area enough. We also stopped off at Happisburgh dog park on the way there and back, which again, we would recommend to run some energy off before/after travelling!!
Our first stay at West Cottage and we were not disappointed. Lovely cottage in a peaceful location within easy reach of the quiet beach and a lovely river walk from the door of the cottage. The garden is a large area plenty of room for dogs to play and chill out, for the humans there is a lovely seating area with sun and shade great place t relax. Local amenities and eateries are not far away.
We have been before and love it. Totally secure garden for the dogs. It’s clean and comfortable and a nice quiet short walk to the beach where the seals were hanging out. Only reason for 4 * was no towels and no response on that. Would recommend.
We had a lovely time at Fenside. The bungalow is comfortable and very well equipped, and the bedrooms are all large. The garden was amazing for the dogs, and ourselves. Though be aware that the garden is open to the gate/driveway so the gate needs to be closed at all times (we kept the dogs in when the binmen were due). The fencing is mostly wooden and high so once the gate is closed, even our escape artist rescue dog (springer spaniel sized) was unable to find a way out! The lanes approaching the house are very narrow and bumpy, but we had no problems with a fairly low slung car, and lucki...more
Red roofs is just in the most wonderful location - directly opposite the broads and a short stroll to 2 very good pubs. It has the most wonderful and secure back garden which is fabulous for those with dogs. It is an old rambling house so you have to accept some of the shortcomings that come with that but it is a wonderful place for large groups to be able to stay together. If you want all mod cons this isn’t the place for you - but if you want traditional, comfortable, space and the opportunity to slow down, it is 100%
Sunny Cottage was ideal for us. It is centrally located in a quiet village, with a pub and local shop both within a couple of minutes walk, but also only perfectly placed to explore a large area of Norfolk as it's reasonably central and the North coast was only an hour away and the East Coast less than 30 minutes. Access is via an alleyway between two other cottages, with parking a short (2-3 minutes) walk away at the village hall. The cottage itself is cosy, and would probably be crowded with anymore than four people, especially if they brought their canine friends too. The stairs...more
