We have just spent a glorious, relaxing week at The Lookout. Fantastic location with stunning views over the sea and beach. the holiday home is wonderful, with a lovely seaside theme throughout. It is so comfortable, thoughtfully designed and equipped. Sally was a brilliant host, very welcoming. The communication and video instructions she provided were excellent and so useful. The welcome pack, waiting for us, was a very thoughtful touch. Eric (our Border terrier) was particularly impressed with the included local dog biscuits. Thank you Sally, we really enjoyed our stay...we didn't want to g...more
A comfortable and well presented lodge on a quiet holiday home site. Only two minutes walk away from beautiful sandy beach - with choice of dogs allowed one way or no dogs the other way. The beach was lovely and clean and very quiet with very few people - probably more during the peak season. The owner had left nice treats for the humans and dogs and answered additional questions on the booking. East Ruston Cottages very good to deal with. Friendly and helpful. A very enjoyable week.
We returned to Bumblebee in a different season and found a tranquil peaceful haven surrounded by nature bursting into spring. The cottage is more than comfortable, beautifully presented and the patio is a sun trap. There is everything there for humans and dogs. The walks from the front door are relaxing and the beach is 5 minutes away. The owners are supportive and friendly but unobtrusive. We will be back! In fact already booked for the autumn.
A fabulous holiday cottage, even better than the photos . A generous welcome pack,kind helpful hosts. Our dogs loved the field and the assortment of toys .
What can I say? except WOW WOW WOW!! The Barn is absolutely stunning, and every convenience thought of to make your stay incredible. We loved it here, as did our Dogs, and would recommend to anyone. Weather was good too, we had an amazing week, thank you.
A wonderful, relaxing week at The Lobster. We loved absolutely everything about it - a great welcome pack, private path to the stunning beach, luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms & beautifully furnished. It is so well designed inside and out. Our dog really enjoyed the garden and the Charley Chau dog beds provided. We could happily have stayed put all week but did a few trips out to East Ruston Old Vicarage Gardens, Bacton Woods, Eden in Stalham, Smallsticks, Watsons and the Gunton Arms. Another gem, thank you to the owners and team ERC. Really hope to return if we can get booked!
Perfectly situated cottage near to the town of Wroxham where there are shops &eating places overlooking the broads. Thatched Cottage is an immaculate one story two bedroom property comfy beds & a large corner sofa. It has a small courtyard garden at the rear of the property & a large garden at the front part of the garden. The wall isn’t very high & one of our dogs jumped over it. The woods & beaches are a 15-20 minute drive away. We would recommend this cottage & would stay here again.
Having stayed with ERC for a few years now this may have been our favourite escape to the country!!! Beautiful cottages immaculate and clean everything is top quality from the kitchen, the bedrooms, bathrooms the patio area and hartman outdoor patio set then to top it off the high end hot tub was the icing on the cake!! So stunning in so many ways, the countryside walks on the doorstep were lovely and quiet for my reactive dogs. We were a mile or so from the beach, smallsticks cafe and the star at Lessingham with Tesco a 5 minute drive!! What more could you want from a break away beautiful pe...more
We all absolutely loved Jacks Shack. Caroline has thought of everything and the cottage was so well equipped and stocked. The location was perfect for us with everything we needed close by. We were blessed with excellent weather and spent many happy hours on the beach and swimming.
We had a lovely relaxing time at manor barn. There were four adults including my 90 year old mum and my disabled sister plus a mix of 8 dogs . The whole barn was extremely well equipped to suit the needs of all. The all access dog areas were fab and all of our dogs appreciated them. It was extremely hot so we spent a lovely two days not moving but that was fine. We even took our panther chameleon karma who had a very happy week
The walnut is a very neat little property and is part of willow tree holidays located in Happisburgh Heath. the property is neat and well furnished and outside is a hot tub which we all enjoyed. for the dogs Dylan and Monty there was a nice paddock where they could wander and meet other dogs. the owners Paul and Stella where very friendly and welcoming.
Great place especially for my dogs who don't do beach so the enclosed paddock is ideal. We would have preferred a walk in shower instead of the climbing into a bath as we are not youngsters. Overall a great place.
We had a lovely stay at 1 Paynes Cottage, the location was great and the cottage itself was everything we wanted, including having parking. It was clean, tidy and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed for eating in of an evening. The lounge had 2 comfy sofa's and a really good size tv (hard to come by in most holiday rentals). Our miniature schnauzer really enjoyed having the freedom in the dog safe garden. We had to contact the owners because we thought there were no mugs and despite it being a Sunday evening they kindly responded straight away...it was our fault, there were ...more
Our holiday staying at Dormy was by far the best we’ve had. Dormy is an exceptional property, perfectly clean, well equipped, in a fantastic location so so close to a very peaceful beach. Dormy was extremely dog friendly, and with our dogs feeling right at home, allowed everywhere and supplied with lovely throws and beds and a lovely basket of goodies for the dogs and humans. The gardens were completely enclosed and safe. We have booked to return next year.
Excellent facilities for the dogs. They had their own enclosed spaces with toys and poo bags supplied. The cottage was comfortable and very well stocked with the best welcome package ever! Could have done with slightly larger sofas for four adults but other than that, it was brilliant!
Lovely place to stay and fantastic for the dogs- car ramp, raised feeding bowls, sofa throws and much more! Beach literally behind the garden with fantastic views of the setting sun.
This is our second visit to this lovely cottage beautifully presented from the moment you arrive the field for the dogs to run in is ideal. Everything has been thought of it’s definitely luxury to a high standard. The welcome hamper for us & our 5 dogs was a lovely touch even included a birthday cake & card. The owners are onsite & are friendly & helpful. The cottage is ideally situated for the beach, wooded walks. Stalham is a couple of miles away which has a supermarket, fish & chip shop & other takeaways also a vet which we have had to use. This accommodation is 1st class!
I chose Ruby Gem for several reasons. It was a solo holiday with my two whippets and although it sleeps 4, it didn't feel like I was rattling around on my own. It has a great little secure garden where I sat with a morning brew. It takes maybe 3 minutes to get to the miles and miles of dunes which I honestly preferred to the beach a lot of the time because of how much interest there was to see for both me and the dogs. Even at the end of a school holiday, it didn't take long to find an empty stretch of beach, and when the kids had left it was rare to have more than a handful of people ...more
A beautifully located and picturesque cottage with everything needed for an excellent holiday. Lots of walks from the cottage and easy proximity to beaches and other attractions. Very comfortable and well equipped.
Beautiful barn very well equipped lots of room even with 5 big dogs lots of great quiet walks close to the barn short drive to our favourite beaches will definitely book again if they will have us, even our escape artist Jack Russell couldn’t find a way out of garden. My only sad face was the internet connection not brilliant normally would have loved that but it was TT RACE WEEK. A small niggle from a great week with family
Absolutely the best dog-friendly holiday cottage company I've ever come across. Our holiday at Woodpecker Lodge was perfect from start to finish, from the initial information and communications to all the dog-friendly furnishings in the extremely well-equipped cottage. Humans were very well looked after too: we enjoyed the immaculately kept hot tub, the comfortable outdoor and indoor furniture, the rainfall shower, and the thoughtful goody basket. The surroundings were exactly as described: the lovely beach was a few minutes' walk away and the bakery and fish-and-chip shop were both excell...more
We loved Hidden Gem. It is 5 minutes walk from the cottage over the dunes to the sea, and the beach at Winterton is sandy, dog friendly and beautiful. Hidden gem is very comfortable and well equipped with great views of the dunes. This is definitely one to return to for a lovely relaxing holiday.
Broads Cottage is a lovely place to stay and has very comfortable beds and sofas and 2 great showers and a super deep bath! We were a bit worried about the garden being next to the road through the village but it was so quiet we didn’t need to worry. The dogs were relaxed in the garden and hardly a car or person went past. The garden is secure for most dogs, as long as your dog doesn’t jump or try and escape. Lovely walks along the Broads from the door, beaches just a 15 minute drive away. A friendly small local shop and a dog friendly pub a very short walk away which served great food. Gat...more
A lovely bungalow very clean and comfortable. Perfect position for bacton woods the dog’s favourite would love to come back again
The Crib is a lovely cottage, very well equipped for humans and with everything a dog could ever want! Our two Labradors had a wonderful time, they loved the beds and crates provided and had a great time in the large garden. The location in the village with easy access to the beach was excellent as was the very handy and convenient off road private parking which made getting in and out of the car completely stress free as there was no traffic to worry about. The welcome pack was very welcome and tasty, I particularly liked the cheese! We had a lovely holiday and have already recommended th...more
Lovely little cottage with everything we needed. Practical outdoor space for a sit down and the dogs to get out but under close control. Offroad walks a few metres from front door. Good location for beaches and to explore Norfolk. On-line info pack spot on and very simple booking.
The farmhouse is a large, dog friendly house with two games rooms. We enjoy our time at the farmhouse this is our second visit we are a small family but this house gets us together and off phones and i pads. Playing Pool and darts are our main games and we have other family members who we visit when in Norfolk so they also come and enjoy the games rooms. When the farmhouse is full of people it’s large enough for everyone to find something to do or find a space for quiet chill out time or a chat.
We recently stayed at Rose Cottage with our friends and our old Staffie Millie. The booking and all communication before we arrived at Rose Cottage was great. The welcome pack that was waiting for us was amazing especially the Victoria sandwich. There was everything at the cottage that could want, especially for dogs. We were asked if we needed a cage and bed, but there was a whole doggy utility room with towels, blankets, dog washer, brushes, steps for little dogs and much more. The cottage was cosy, the owner was welcoming. I we had a fabulous stay. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rose Cot...more
Fabulous place to stay, great location & so close to the dunes great for walking the dogs, it’s the second time we have stayed there & the boys know where the back gate led too. The house is like a tardis looks like a regular terrace house but super big inside. We had excellent fish & chips from the local chippy & Rachel the owner kept in touch with us throughout our stay
We chose the perfect place for our 8 month old labrador puppy’s first holiday. Corner Cottage had everything you needed and more…towels, toys, poo bags, etc and the treats for dogs and humans! It was so nice to be able to go on walks straight from the door, and the garden was beautiful to relax in if we didn’t want to travel too far. We visited so many different places and feel we haven’t scratched the surface so we’ll definitely be back!
First time at Rooster Barn. Had a week away with my husband and our four large dogs (Pointers and a Weimaraner). We were greeted with a lovely welcome pack and a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate our anniversary. The accommodation was perfect for us as it provided a secure space for our dogs to wander, as well as giving us a peaceful place to rest. There is a pub (under new management) in the village, where we sat outside after a walk with the dogs and everything else is just a short drive away. The neighbours dogs were not a problem. They occasionally barked when they heard our dogs outsi...more
We loved our stay here. First of all, the cottage is spacious! We came with our 2 German Shepherd dogs and there was plenty of room to move around. The garden was lovely to sit in and enjoy a glass of wine in the evening sunshine. Highly recommend the bakery down the road. The beach is super close which makes for some lovely walks, we visited good old Yarmouth only a short drive away and also Winterton-on-sea which is super pretty. We loved Brigg cottage and would stay again!
Thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay at Seaview, both for the cottage and garden itself, and for its proximity to a marvellous sandy beach. The location is quiet, being down an unmade-up track, so would suit those looking for peace and quite, although the occasional crunching of feet and paws on the track may spark 'interest' from more alert pups. Even on a windy day, the sound of the waves on the beach was never more than a comforting lullaby - but note that this was mid-June 2025 stay during a very warm week, so expect this to change according to the season. The cottage is very well e...more
We had a lovely stay at Boundary Lodge, the owners provided a lovely welcome basket with goodies for us and treats for the dogs. We appreciated how dog friendly the property was with bowls and throws provided so they could feel really at home. The accommodation has everything you need for a comfortable stay including a fridge freezer and dishwasher. The garden was fantastic with plenty of room and comfortable sun loungers which were well used throughout our stay, the only thing we would suggest is maybe a sun umbrella for hotter days to provide a bit more shade. The Lodge is the perfect...more
We have just returned from a fabulous week in Skylark, enhanced in the most by the great weather. The property was exactly what we required, clean, comfortable and cosy. All the kitchen appliances and utensils were really appreciated. The garden games were used and enjoyed by all. The atmosphere on the Estate was so friendly, and the ability to walk the dogs directly to the beach added to the positive experience for all. If you and your dogs are happy without enclosed gardens, this is a great little place to stay. Like being in a friendly campsite, but with all your home comfor...more
A lovely relaxing stay at a wonderful house and location. Quiet and relaxing stay but within easy reach of beautiful beaches which were great for taking the dogs. Could not fault the property and the welcome hamper was well thought out and a real treat
Stayed for a week recently. Well equipped bungalow in a nice quiet village. Good road networks for visiting the local area and dog friendly beaches. Supermarkets not too far away. Would love to visit again, but unfortunately due to lots of military aircraft noise our 10 year old dog who suffers from noise anxiety was quite stressed at times.
From the moment we got through the door, it was clear that dogs are VERY welcome at The Lodge in East Ruston. From the gorgeous throws piled up to use on the sofas if your dog isn’t a fan of lounging on the floor, to the luxurious dog beds for them if they are, it was a very warm welcome. There was a lovely welcome pack for us, full of fresh produce, as well as a welcome pack for Sadie. Sadie didn’t just receive a couple of treats, there was a whole jar of them at her disposal, plus dog towels, luxury beds, soft throws, multiple dog bowls to choose from (it was as if they already knew our...more
We love this beautiful cottage, so clean and welcoming with so many extra touches. Lots of lovely places to visit, everything you need for a perfect holiday. The welcome pack was amazing. East Ruston Cottages and Caroline the owner of Farthing Cottage really did go the extra mile to help with our epileptic dog and carried out their cleaning schedule to meet his needs. We had the perfect weather and the perfect cottage.
Property is clean, fresh and airy.... Owners very friendly and welcoming. Lovely secure garden suitable for dogs to explore. Great walks on the doorstep. Beach is only short drive away.
A wonderful cottage , dogs so happy in enclosed garden ( as we're owners) spotlessly clean , loverly welcome pack , comfy beds , just everything you could want , and more .Lovely location , central for exploring countryside and tucked away beaches.
And breath! Lovely garden, walks from the door; red kites, hares, birdsong.and wildflowers. Perfect.
Beautiful location. Very helpful owner. Great for dogs. Very clean. Comfy beds. Lovely kitchen. Weather was cold and only downside was evenings were chilly inside barn. Otherwise perfect.
We have stayed at Red Roofs a number of times & it is the most relaxing cottage that we have booked for both ourselves & our dog. We stayed over the Xmas period & it was a delight to see the Christmas tree lights twinkling as we arrived. The welcome pack was excellent & we had the surprize bonus of the owner dropping off a tin of home made mince pies mid stay.
We had a great Family time here for my 60 th birthday. The living space worked for meals and being together. The house felt like home and was very well equipped and we even discovered hammocks and love jackets . Thank you. Trampoline and the play house was a hit. The mooring was great for our kayak The bedrooms were comfortable but will soon need an upgrade in our opinion.
Lovely peaceful cottage, great location. East Cottage has a beautiful large garden both hoomins & dogs enjoyed. It was lovely to listen to the birds in the garden first thing in the morning. The hot tub was amazing & we had perfect weather with only 1/2 days rain. The beds were incredibly comfortable & we all had a great nights sleep.
Great place, the walks are wonderful, lovely goodies thank you. Only thing negative is the hot water temperature is so hot it was hard to set the shower at a bareable temp. The enclosed garden big bonus. We would stay again.
