I went to 1 Paynes Cottage for a long weekend with 2 of our dogs. I've stayed at other East Ruston Cottages, but this was the first time here. The cottage has everything you need (apart from a couple of baking trays, left a note suggesting this), it's warm, clean, cosy, and the bed is super comfy! Didn't need the log burner as it was really warm in the daytime, but the heating was welcome in the chillier evenings. The cottage is situated on a very peaceful back lane.
ERC describe the garden and fences very well, the front fence is short, but as our dogs aren't escape artists it was fine, and they loved laying outside to sunbathe.
We didn't stary very far, but Trunch is a very pretty village to stroll around.
How dog friendly was this property for you? Never been anywhere so dog welcoming before!
How likely are you to return? Would love to come back!

Payne cottage was everything you need to have a great break, set in a quiet village with lovely countryside walks from the property.
There is a good pub just down the road.
The cottage was well equipped and super clean, the owners left a lovely welcoming hamper that was so appreciated.
Short drive to the wonderful dog friendly beach, and great base for exploring.

We stayed for a week at this property, it was well equipped, warm, clean, had a very comfortable bed, and was very welcoming for our dogs too. Highly recommended.
