We had a pleasant weekend break in Farthing Cottage over the first weekend in November, hoping for a rest from the constant fireworks that are a feature of our home life at this time of year. The cottage was lovely and warm - our foster greyhound was comfortable without his pajamas. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed some pleasant walks around the area. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and the welcome hamper was amazing. All in all, I would highly recommend the cottage to dog owners.

We have stayed here several times before. The cottage is perfectly located for many attractions and lovely spacious beaches. Sea Palling Mundesley Walcott Bacton to name but a few.
Very generous welcome hamper.
Everything you could need for dogs . Crates buggy throws pet towels biscuits poobags!
King size bed is super comfy.
Secure garden.
Lively village location with a local pub 5 minutes down the road

Having stayed at other East Rushton cottages was a little disappointed with this one, as felt it hadn't been cleaned as well on arrival as other cottages we have stayed in, also grass in garden was over grown making it difficult to find and pick up dog waste.

Ok for dogs.

How likely are you to return?
Not again (but do please let us know why)





Sue Allen - ERC owner replied 39 days ago
Hi Pauline I am so sorry your experience at Farthing Cottage wasn't up to your expectations and appreciate the feedback. I know that the owner, Caroline, is very attentive to detail but lives away so has to rely on her cleaning team. She would certainly have asked them to come back and improve the cleaning if you had wanted that and they would have been able to cut the grass too (it seems like the gardener let her down by not turning up on the changeover day before you arrived) All of this has been fed back to her and she is coming up as soon as she can to talk to the cleaning team and gardener and ensure that standards are raised back up to those that she normally expects at Farthing Cottage.

Great short break

We were delighted to find everything as described with far more dog equipment than we would need. Our greyhound loved the garden which, although small, allowed him to have a run around. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen provided all we needed for self catering, although we ate out mostly. The hamper of food for us and our dog was generous and very welcome. The cottage is in a lovely position in Trunch and we easily found good walks nearby. I haven’t a bad thing to say about the accommodation and would happily stay there again.

Recently returned from a wonderful week at Farthing Cottage, the cottage was ideal, peaceful village location, extremely dog friendly, especially the enclosed garden. The interior was tastefully decorated with an extremely well equipped kitchen and accessories/equipment in the garage for excursions and enjoyment in the garden. The hosts had kindly left provisions and special touches for our anniversary. Plenty of parking outside the house. Couldn’t recommend more highly, it made our first visit to Norfolk so comfortable and memorable.

We loved our stay- with three spaniels it is difficult to find a truly dog friendly place to stay where the dogs are as happy as the humans! Great walks, near the beach and everything you and your pooches need. Host was very accommodating by letting us in early

This has got to be the best dog friendly cottage that we have stayed in the welcome package was exceptional. The cottage was clean fresh and did not smell of dogs. The quality of the interior was of a higher standard than you would usually expect from a cottage which hosts dogs. There are plenty of beaches within driving distance, particularly enjoyed overstrand and happisburgh which were less crowded. As mentioned on the website there are plenty of places to eat that allow dogs within driving distance.

Now for the negative side, I know that this is out of the control of Caroline and ERC but the website needs updating as whilst we were staying the Crown pub had closed its doors and there is no shop in the village so a car would be essential unless you are extremely fit, which we are not. I believe there is a social club but whether they allow dogs or holiday makers I am unsure.

Cottage is fantastic, welcome pack was a very appreciated and generous touch. Everything a dog needs is on hand. Beds are amazingly comfy.

The only drawback is that the info needs updating as the local pub is closing and was only open for one night of our stay and the advertised village shop has closed.. There is nothing else in walking distance.

We had a lovely week in Trunch which is a good base to explore the surrounding area. It’s somewhere we will be revisiting.
Farthing cottage was comfortable and met the majority of our needs for our stay. If we had one criticism, the garden needed a bit of attention.

Sue Allen - East Ruston Cottages replied 182 days ago
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Chris. I am really sorry that the cleaning wasn't up to standard on this occasion. We do ask (in fact we have it as part of our Terms and Conditions that guests agree to when they book with us) that any issues are reported to us as soon as they are noticed. Obviously it is far from ideal to have cleaning issues but also far from ideal for us to be reviewed negatively for it when we don't have an opportunity to put it right. We would have been more than happy to get the cleaning team back in, at a time to suit you and give a refund or vouchers for a local cafe to make up for the inconvenience. The cleaning team have had this passed on to them now and the owner is attending the property this week to ensure that things are brought up to standard. She lives away so cannot check each changeover clean. Her cleaning team are normally very efficient and thorough but clearly on this occasion there was a drop in standards. I do hope this doesn't put you off coming again and do please, should you experience any problem at any of our properties, let us know as soon as you can so we can put things right for you. We value our reviews and scoring very much and our guests positive experiences even more so.

This was our second stay at Farthing Cottage and we enjoyed it just as much as the first one. Very comfy bed and sofa. Well equipped for both humans and dogs and very secure garden. Well located for beaches and inland walks as well as The Crown pub which was only a short walk away. The only thing missing is a local shop if you needed last minute supplies.

We had a lovely relaxing week in Farthing Cottage. The welcome pack for us humans (kettle crisps, oat cakes, cookies, sausages,bacon,eggs,bread,butter and Apple juice and handmade dog biscuits etc for the dogs was great. The Cottage provided everything we needed for our 6 dogs, and us too. Great local walks, and the local pub only 5 minutes walk away from the cottage, who are dog friendly.
Highly recommended

It's all about the dogs for us so we were thrilled to have everything we ended and more from the second we walked through the door at Farthing Cottage.

The garden is fabulous for any dog - the closeboard fencing means there's nothing getting in or out which means a very relaxing experience for all of us!

The facilities are great - the large washer and dryer is a huge bonus for cleaning up after lengthy beach walks!

I took a short midweek break in Farthing cottage and I cannot recommend both the cottage and the service from ERC highly enough. From start to finish ERC were friendly, helpful, professional and informative with useful email reminders and lots of local useful information. The location in Trunch is perfect, a beautiful peaceful village with very friendly locals and multiple dog walks from the doorstep.
Having 5 dogs it's always difficult to find properties that allow multi dog families but this cottage is perfect. It's cosy but there was ample space for my pack to spread out and the underfloor heating kept them warm and dry. There is everything you can imagine you need for your dog from buggies to grooming kits to towels and throws included. I thought the collar tags were a fantastic idea, such amazing well thought out touches and the goody bag wasso sweet.
It is just as fabulous for Humans too, there was everything you could possibly need to enjoy a home from home experience and the welcome basket was fantastic and unexpected with such thoughtful and generous content.
I will 110%be booking to stay here again, AMAZING!!!!!

We had a lovely stay at Farthing cottage with our two dogs. Amazing welcome pack on arrival and the garage has so many dog towels, throws, bowls, crates etc all you could ask for. Brilliant location quick drive to Mundesley Beach and a short walk to the local pub. The house was clean and comfy. Gorgeous log burner too! Highly recommend.

The cottage was warm and welcoming, plenty of room and well stocked. The layout was perfect for humans and dogs alike. We loved the welcome pack for both humans and dogs. Location was great with walks from the house and a very short stroll to the Crown pub that served yummy food and was super dog friendly too. We tried several of the suggested cafes in the welcome pack and found everyone to be super friendly:
This was our second visit to an erc property and will definitely return

The kitchen had everything you needed as well.. for me, it was a cottage with a bed I could sleep in, I have a degenerative spine.. holiday cottage are a gamble, I’ve come away from some stays worse than when I arrived, not here though.. came away rested.. have booker the cabin for next year as I struggled with the stairs… farthing cottage was just the tonic..

Lovely open plan cottage with great non slip slate floor French doors into fully enclosed garden …with downstairs loo 2 great sized bedrooms upstairs and spacious bathroom. Located in fantastic village - if you like rural quiet and few facilities! Local pub and social club along with very active social events ongoing in community … beautiful walks from doorstep over fields stunning beaches 10/15 minutes away national trust amazing beautiful woodland walks open Dawn til dusk - after opening hours for property it was a haven of peace and tranquility to explore which was a real find with reactive dogs. Lots of big name food stores in Cromer. My dogs loved the cool slate floor in the mini heatwave. I did look in the garage to discover just about everything you could need for floofies - crates/ elevated beds/slow feeders/toys incredibly dog friendly.
The Welcome Pack absolutely blew me away and I would come back just for that alone as would the floofs

My 4th stay in Farthing Cottage for 2 weeks of mixing work and leisure. So many walks from the door, without having to drive anywhere. Love the walks to Mundesley and back; and Southrepps and back. Both have good pub stops. The Crown in Trunch is super friendly, either for coffee/cake, drinks and/or pies. Trunch village has a real community spirit, everyone friendly.
Inside Farthing there is everything you need and more, main bedroom has had a nice makeover. Welcome hamper is the best ever. Garden could do with a little TLC.

Very well equiped cottage and the best welcome pack that we have experienced over the years, filled with quality local products and a bottle of prosecco as we were celebrating a birthday.
Dog friendly is probably an understatement more like a shop, can't think of anything that was not provided for there comfort.
The car charger is a welcome asset and I am sure will attract more people.

Our second stay here, and just as good as ever! Everything you could possibly want for a holiday with your dogs, with walks from the door, a short hop to the dog friendly pub, and the most amazing beaches within a very short drive. Caroline has everything set up so well, and the welcome hamper is one of the best we’ve ever had (for us AND the dogs!). I’m sure we’ll be back soon, it’s just a question of when.

Found Farthing Cottage after a spur of the moment internet search for a last minute break.What a find! Everything you could need and more, for both humans and dogs, including a magnificent welcome pack. By far the best company for accommodation in the last eleven years of booking dog friendly holidays.Will certainly use ERC again when holidaying in Norfolk.We even received a birthday card after mentioning our eldest dog would have a birthday during our weekend stay.

We had the BEST week at Farthing Cottage. I fell in love with the cottage within minutes, and was blown away by how everything had been thought of to make it home from home! It was great not to have to bring so much dog and human stuff (especially the dog stroller!), as it was all provided. I just had to bring my own bedding as my girls are used to sleeping on my bed, which is fine :) The garden was completely secure and a lovely sun trap. The welcome pack was amazing (and the dogs loved theirs too!). We'll definitely stay at Farthing Cottage again :)

Delightful semi-detached Norfolk stone cottage in the village of Trunch a few miles from the Mundesley coast.

Cottage has 2 bedrooms sufficient size for 4 people. Downstairs is a very spacious, lounge, diner and very well equipped kitchen - all stone floor. Does have underfloor heating, which I am sure is very cosy in colder months. Fully secure rear garden.

I've got 3 dogs and there was plenty of room for them. Plenty of doggy ancillary stuff on hand, including crates, grooming kit and throws for the furniture.

Was met by a lovely hamper of biscuits, cookies, crisps and a large sliced white loaf. In the fridge were sausages, bacon, ham, eggs, butter and milk. This was very useful as there is currently no village store. The local pub in the village sells papers and may start a small grocery store, but it hadn't happened when I was there. Pub is closed on Mondays as many of them are in the villages.

We booked a very last minute stay in Norfolk. Farthing Cottage was one of a few places we found that would welcome our dog as well as provide an EV charger. I was prepared to change areas from North Norfolk to have these amenities and I’m glad we did as it was a great find.
The house was just what we needed, lovely enclosed garden, comfortable beds, very well equipped for us and our dog (and not a trace of previous four legged guests, very thoroughly cleaned in between guests). I’ve never been so well catered for in terms of our dog and human goodies - a gorgeous welcome hamper that was much appreciated.
We enjoyed walks at Happisburgh and Sea Palling, and visited Blickling and Felbrigg NT houses.
Highly recommend!

We have now stayed at Farthing Cottage 8 times in the last 10 Years and keep coming back. I believe we were the second people to stay here when it was first advertised after we discovered Sue Allen's East Ruston Cottages and how truly dog friendly they are, it has been amazing. Nothing too much trouble and everything well catered for. Sue and East Ruston Cottages are so helpful to your every need, their holiday homes are properly dog friendly, and you are going to have a great time with your four legged friends, let's be honest they are your best friends!

As for Farthing Cottage we love the place, nestled in the heart of Trunch with wonderful walks and nearby Mundsley with miles of sand to walk along on in either direction. The latest owner Caroline has made some lovely upgrades to the property and provides so many facilities to ensure your stay has everything you didn't realise you may need. A secluded garden that our dogs loved, as we use to sit on the patio of an evening after a walks and daily activities. Now even if you have an EV, Caroline has had a charge point installed, something useful for those needing this service.

We have some favourite places all within short drives, from Sea Palling to Yarmouth, Cromer to Sheringham and all places in between, so many places to go with your best friends. We will definitely be back again

An absolutely wonderful stay in the delightful Farthing Cottage. A perfect location in a blissful Norfolk village - plenty of countryside walks from the door, a superb pub within walking distance (The Crown) where the locals give you and your four legged friends a very warm welcome and only a short drive to the most wonderful beaches.
Farthing Cottage was incredibly well equipped with everything we could possibly need. A huge welcome hamper of local goodies along with thoughtful touches such as holiday dog tags, dog bowls, crates and throws for the sofas ensured that humans and dogs could properly relax - and not need to load up the car with all the essentials! A well secured garden meant that we could let the dogs out without having to worry or watch their every move and we loved sitting out there in the evening sunshine after a long walk on the beach.
A truly, dog welcoming cottage and we will most definitely be back!

We had the most wonderful few days in Norfolk saying at Farthing Cottage! Dog friendly at its best and not a doggy smell to be found as the cottage was thoughtfully modelled around doggie visitors… the wonderful owners had thought of everything - we have never stayed in such a well equipped cottage. It was cosy, homely (a ‘real’ home from home) and we did not want to leave… we will be back!

What a wonderful week we had at the beautiful Farthing Cottage. The cottage was warm, spotless and welcoming with an amazing welcome pack for both humans and dogs. As ever the communications with ERC and the owner was excellent and the information book in the cottage had lots of recommendations and suggestions for beaches, walks, trips, meals out etc. The cottage is beautifully situated for days out in the car and especially for some amazing local walks straight from the door. Farthing cottage is extremely well equipped, a real home from home. The only downside of our week was having to leave to go home.

Great property in a lovely quiet location. Thanks to sue at erc and Caroline the owner for their help and understanding for our late arrival due to family illness and the offer of an extra day at no cost. Great customer care. Our 3 dogs had a wonderful time walking and swimming on mundesley beach. We visited sheringham, wells, holt, Norwich, cromer during our stay. Loved farthing to relax in the evening and will be back.

Farthing Cottage is a beautiful and cozy cottage in a peaceful village. The welcome pack was very generous for both humans and dogs. We could truly relax for Beachmas as the cottage had everything that we needed. Ideal location to visit local beaches of Mundesley, Happisburgh, Bacton and Cromer. We had a delicious festive veggie pie in The Crown pub in the village and the locals were very friendly and welcoming. Sadly we had no need to light the fire as the cottage was so lovely and warm. Thank you to Sue (ERC) and Caroline (Farthing Cottage) for the lovely gifts. Another ERC winner!

Despite difficulties with getting away, owing to unforeseen circumstances, and a subsequent late arrival, everything was found to be of a high standard. Although the place is so very dog friendly, the level of cleanliness was nevertheless pleasing, and the treats in the fridge and in the hamper were well received.

As always booking was easy liaison with Sue prior to arrival was excellent. On arrival had all we needed with excellent local produce, ranging from sausages to double choc biscuits. Even a beautiful, very large, lemon cake for my birthday.
Having stayed before we knew most of local info/geography, but there was an indepth information folder and loads of local and wide range information. In the village is a nice pub serving food and papers in the morning. Local beaches are plentiful and dog friendly, good parking at all, some with dog friendly cafes/pubs.
A hgreat property to stay in and excellent area to enjoy for dogs and their owners.

Cannot fault Farthing Cottage. Everything has been thought of to make for a relaxing break. Welcoming, warm and comfortable. Great provisions in fridge and hamper. Well equipped kitchen. Spotless throughout. Very secure garden. Dog buggy, crates, throws etc. Peaceful village.
We were a bit worried in case ‘unlimited dogs’ might mean a little bit ‘lived-in’. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is a great place to stay, with or without dogs.

Great cottage with easy access to both the Norfolk coast and the Broads. Very comfortable (only slight downer was the creaking made by the bed, although it was comfy). Very well kitted out and warm. Secure garden. Not huge but perfectly adequate. Loads of great dog walks from the door and within a short drive. Best ever and most generous welcome pack I have ever seen.

Have just returned from our short break at Farthing Cottage - the best dog friendly cottage we have found. Our 3 hounds loved the quiet location, safe, secure garden and all the lovely peaceful walks close by. Everything was supplied for the dogs, food bowls and stands, throws and blankets and much more besides. For us humans the welcome pack was excellent and all very useful. Very comfortable, cosy cottage and would hope to be able to visit again soon. So many lovely beaches to explore, National Trust properties and all close at hand.

This was our first holiday with our 15 month golden retriever so was a bit apprehensive what to expect from a dog friendly cottage. Those worries quickly disappeared after stepping through the doorway of Farthing cottage. It had everything we needed and much more, even a dog paddling pool. The welcome hamper was absolutely superb and my son instantly dived into the cookies. Wonderful. The cottage was located in a brilliant position. We had fields and woods to walk in and a little further the amazing beaches. We loved Holkham. We even hired a boat on the Broads which we all thoroughly enjoyed. All in all an absolutely fabulous holiday at Farthing cottage. A clean, beautifully presented place to stay and I’m so pleased we found them. Looking forward and planning our next visit. Thank you

We went for a super short notice cancellation and we’re absolutely delighted we did. Two adults, and an older teen, with three Pointers made for a little juggling on the sofas, but the cottage is packed full of everything you could possibly need for dogs and humans too! In the beautiful village of Trunch, with walks from the door to die for. It was truly idyllic, and we couldn’t have wished for more. Great pub, well stocked shop, and near the Broads and beaches and stunning countryside, but away from the crowds. Perfect for us!

Farthing Cottage is a truly dog friendly property, the owners have thought of everything it is very well equipped with everything you and your dogs could need. A more than generous welcome pack far exceeded what we expected it was a lovely surprise. The cottage is conveniently situated for exploring Norfolk you will not be disappointed if you stay here. Lovely friendly pub less than a 5 minute walk away what more could you want.

What a great place to stay, Farthing cottage has everything you and your doggies need for a wonderful holiday, although it is definitely not dog tired.
The cottage is very well kept and maintained, beds are comfy, plenty of towels, throws for humans and dogs. The garden is enclosed and safe for dogs.
There is a fabulous welcome pack on arrival including local produce and a doggie welcome pack also.
We found Trunch to be a very central base for exploring the north Norfolk area, with a local shop and very friendly pub a couple of minutes walk away from the cottage.
We would definitely recommend Farthing cottage to anyone wanting to enjoy Norfolk, you won't be disappointed!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Farthing Cottage. It was very well appointed, & the welcome hamper was most generous, with lots of excellent local produce. Caroline, the owner was very helpful when we had one or two queries, & nothing was too much trouble The pub was very welcoming, but unfortunately the food was disappointing’ but it was still nice to be able to pop along for an evening drink. All in all Farthing Cottage was one of the best cottages we have stayed in, in all our many doggy holidays.

We have been to this cottage before & always find it very welcoming & comfortable. The welcome package for us & the dogs is brilliant. There is not much that we can of that they don't supply to make your stay very enjoyable. Lovely walk not far from the cottage & trips to the coast not far. Bacton woods is a great walk. Definitely recommend this cottage.

4th stay at this property but this has to be the best time under the new owner . Wonderful new additions include the sofas and window shutters. So much attention to detail.. . The most well equipped cottage we have ever stayed in by far. Neat and organised. It really is a home from home. The dogs loved the new beds too so much so I'm going to buy one!! Love the underfloor heating. We spent a lot of time relaxing here and did some lovely walks around the village. Visited Mundsley and Seapalling beaches with the dogs Sheringham and Cromer are favourite places we like to visit and not far from either.
Thank you for the amazing Welcome pack which we really enjoyed and the beautiful flowers

We expected a good service from East Ruston Cottages anyway, but this stay exceeded our expectations. The cottage was delightful: comfortable, well-appointed and well supplied with everything you could need for a week's stay for 3 people and a dog, including a selection of fresh locally produced foodstuffs. The location was ideal for us, offering opportunities for country and coastal walking with the dog. The village was very quiet at all times, which ensured a very relaxing experience. There are plenty of good pubs and restaurants in the vicinity, as highlighted in the very useful welcome pack, and the village shop is well-stocked with most things. The facilities for dogs were excellent too; the secure garden was ideal.

We left wishing we had had longer and would like to come back here again.

A Friday to Monday stay for my family and our two dogs. Really loved being able to just pop to the beach for a walk and a beachcomb for the kids. Great fish and chips at The Ship Inn in Mundesley, huge portions! Visiting the beautiful Bacton Woods too for a nice Sunday walk before a lovely lunch at the dog friendly Lighthouse Inn at Walcott.

The accommodation itself was lovely, nice little welcome basket, cute woodburner, amazing underfloor heating, plenty of blankets for the dogs/children and very comfy beds! My wife also commented on how nice the bath was - very long and wide to relax in!

Would certainly recommend to friends and family looking to get away with their children and/or dogs!

We really wanted to start taking our dogs on holiday with us but weren’t sure how they’d be in a strange place so needed a real home from home. Farthing Cottage is perfect! Our babies settled in a heartbeat in front of the cosy fire. The garden is totally secure which was a huge bonus and peace of mind for us. Facilities in the cottage are just as you would expect in your own home, I think that says it all! We loved it and can’t wait to book again. Thank you ERC for making our first time such a wonderful, positive experience.

Farthing gave us everything we needed for a much needed break away to the coast for us and our 4 little dogs. Fully equipped and so dog friendly but not shabby which in the past we’ve had to endure with other supposedly dog friendly accommodation.
Beach walking every day on the various near by areas and although busy due to it being holiday time, enough space so we could always let our pups have a free run.
Incredibly lucky again with the weather but coming home to a cosy cottage was the icing on the cake.
Didn’t really eat out too much but had a few visits to the local pub after our walks, very welcoming.
Can’t wait for our next cottage break with East Ruston Cottages ❤️

This was our first dog holiday with all 10 dogs.

We loved that we could come away with all 10 as we have never been able to before.
The poochies just settled in straight away after having a long drive. They felt so comfortable which is what we wanted.

They had zoomies in the garden and then rested by the fire (even thou it wasn’t on haha)

We loved our welcome pack and thought it was a lovely touch, the poochies enjoyed all their welcome pack.

We loved that they felt like it was home.

The best thing was it was totally great for a reactive dog the garden was secure and So many nice quiet walks around.

The garage was filled of doggy wash stuff, bowls, crates and much more…..

We loved coming here and are so excited for our next stay.

Thank you for letting us enjoy your cottage

Lovely cottage,fairly well placed to be able to get around.The cottage was clean and very well equipped. The fully enclosed garden was a huge bonus as we have 4 dogs, great to know you can leave the door open without worrying.Mundesly and Trimmimgham beaches are great for dog walking and are within a few minutes drive.

We have stayed at Farthing Cottage twice, I don't think it will be our last visit!
Farthing cottage is a modern but is built in the local style and looks older.
It has modern applliances, central heating, under floor heating etc, but also has a wood burner for added ambiance.
Good sized rooms, nice furniture, fully enclosed rear garden with grass and patio area.
Very dog friendly with lots doggy throws and towels, dog crates available too.
Nice welcome packs for humans and dogs.
Trunch has a village shop for basics, and, the Crown pub which does lovely pizzas. There are some nice quiet walks around the village.
Beaches of the North Norfolk coast are only a few miles away, Bacton and Sea Palling are our favourites.
There are lots of pubs and cafés to visit in the area.
All in all a great place to holiday.

Our second stay at an East Ruston cottage and it won’t be our last! The cottage itself was great, clean and comfy with everything we needed. We particularly liked the garden, which is small but very secure and peaceful, and was perfect for our reactive dog. He was so relaxed out there, more so than he is at home! The location is great too: a short drive to various beaches and towns for days out; nice walks around the village and a very friendly welcome from the staff and locals at the local pub, the Trunch Crown. And for meat lovers a trip to Tavern Tasty in Swafield is a must, we had the most delicious chicken, burgers, sausages and pies from there! All in all, a wonderful, relaxing week, we will be back!

We were really lucky to have a lovely sunny week . Had the weather not been so lovely , we still think we would have had a great week .
Dog friendly .....no
Better than friendly !
Absolutely everything was there for our two dogs . I’d taken everything too but there is no need . Even a grooming box was available in the garage .
We are so glad we have booked another week with this company . If the next place is anything like Farthing Cottage , we will have a great time .
Walks in fields , quiet beaches , perfect for our two dogs .
The village was very peaceful , with one shop and one pub .

We keep coming back for more to Farthing Cottage, and have been for several years. The cottage is ideal with a lovely secure garden and patio area to enjoy in the evening or for breakfast. The new owners have provided perfect gentle upgrades to the property making it even better and the new cleaners are amazing making sure it is spotless for you when you arrive. You pull into the driveway and smile as you know you are in for a great time staying here. Our dogs love staying here and quickly settle in and it is definitely dog friendly place, as many properties are dog tolerant though claim to be friendly. Not quite the same. But you will not find that here, All your dogs needs are catered for including additional equipment in the garage if you need it.

A nice touch with the welcome pack making you feel special upon your arrival and the Apple Juice was amazing and makes a nice change from a bottle of Proseco etc often left at establishments. Oh those choc cookies were almost too nice to be legal!

Farthing Cottage is a wonderful home from home to take time off away from day to day life in a quiet country village setting. Local shop and pub top off a perfect place for evening walks around the village and out further if you desire.

The coast is walkable to Mundesley but a few minutes by car with plenty of parking and you are on the glorious Norfolk coast line, dog friendly clean beaches and a wealth of places to walk or go to for days out all without too much time in the car. Cromer, Sheringham, Sea Palling, etc., even Great Yarmouth although more commercialised, still has a great atmosphere without being too much and the refurbished water gardens are a treat and so pleased to see they are still there and brought back to life.

Sue at East Ruston Cottages has brilliant properties on her books and nothing is too much trouble in getting anything sorted out - everyone involved is friendly and helpful ensuring everyone is focused on providing a quality experience alongside the property owners all working to the same goal. It shows.

Arrived after a long journey to find this very well presented cottage pretty much as described, which was a real treat.
The village of Trunch was well placed for beaches, woods, Norfolk Broads and N.T properties. There was also several well marked walks/runs from the cottage too.
The village shop was well stocked the pub was open but we did not try it as only outside eating!
The cottage was cosy, underfloor heating was great the dog loved it, and very well equipped, even cooking oil and tin foil in the cupboard, amazing!
Bed was really comfortable and we all slept very well.
The cottage info. folder was useful too.
Sue from ERC was really helpful and answered emails quickly prior to arrival.
In covid times the cottage was clean and tidy on arrival and the instructions for leaving cottage where clear.
We really enjoyed our break thank you.

We had a lovely week in a much anticipated holiday postponed from last year. Lovely welcome pack and very dog friendly cottage, enclosed garden, plenty of parking space at front. Closest beach at Mundersley was so quiet we often had it to ourselves. Trunch is a quiet and friendly village, lots of walking from the door and a well stocked village shop and post office. A lovely relaxing week.

FARTHING COTTAGE TRUNCH NORFOLK

STAYED 30 OCT TO 2 NOV 2020

This is a lovely cottage and is home from home. Everything you can possibly want is in the kitchen including a washing machine, tumble dryer and an integrated dishwasher. An integrated double electric oven and a separate gas hob. Microwave, plenty of kitchen units.

The lounge is off the kitchen (open plan) and has an open brick fireplace with a wood burner. There is underfloor heating so the cottage is very cosy. Two double seated settees and a coffee table. A television unit with flat screen TV.

There is a downstairs cloakroom.

Upstairs there is a nice sized bathroom with a bath and a shower attachment. There are two nicely furnished bedrooms with TV, comfortable beds and nice linen.
Bath towels, hand towels and linen is provided.

Free Wi Fi.

This is a dog friendly cottage and all things to cater for dogs is included which includes a nice gift bag for the dog/dogs on arrival.

Plenty of car parking space and within easy reach of several beaches and eateries.

We had a great time and would highly recommend.

Farthing Cottage is a modern building in an older style in keeping with Norfolk tradition.
It is set with walking distance of both the general store and The Crown village pub.
There are good walks in the area, and Trunch is within easy driving distance of the coast. We found Bacton beach (car park near the caravan park) and Sea Palling are especially good for allowing dogs to run free (do check for when the tide is out!).
The cotage is cosy and the log stove adds to the atmosphere. All the facilities we needed were included.
The rear garden is fully enclosed and although not large it was big enough for our greyhound x to run round in. The patio area would be nice in the summer as it catches the evening sun.
It is a real "dog friendly" property with the owner leaving a dog goodie bag with treats, dog wipes and other extras There were also treats for humans!
Be aware that during Covid restrictions some pubs/restaurants were not open at lunchtimes and in the evenings had limited availability.

This no frills, basic little cottage is in an ideal quiet village with a great secure garden for the dogs. It was clean and comfortable, with all the facilities you would expect. It is showing signs of wear and tear, particularly in the bathroom, but it was clean and so not an issue for us. The kitchen was well equipped and the garden has table and chairs that capture the sun in the evening. The Wifi speed was also pretty good.


We found the village to be friendly and the location great for exploring. The local shop was a great convenience and the local pub, although only partially open due to the Covid-19 restrictions, was welcoming when open and serves a great Pizza.

Farthing Cottage was a real home from home and a great place to relax. Clean, well-equipped and with super-comfy beds! Rolo, our dog, thought it was great too. The village of Trunch is a delight and there are many excellent local walks. After months of 'lockdown' it was wonderful to have a week away and walk along beautiful golden beaches. Social distancing certainly isn't a problem in North Norfolk as long as you avoid the towns.

What a find! Farthing Cottage was a Home from Home experience. Comfortable, Very dog friendly. Secure back garden and large front entrance for your pet to roam around. The availability of a bath was a lovely surprise after the long days out exploring the Norfolk coast. A log burner added a relaxing and warming touch. Super fast internet service was great for our teenager. Overall just a lovely place to spend sometime away.

Lovely stay and perfect for the dogs. Trunch is a really friendly and well located village with easy access to the seaside and the broads. We used the local shop, pub ,and even booked the car in for a service at the garage down the road :-) Farthing Cottage is very cosy and a real home from home. We have booked again with East Ruston but this time we are venturing to a different location after staying here twice

We all had a great time. The cottage is great, comfortable and super dog friendly. It was so nice to not have to worry about all the rules of what our best friend is allowed to do whilst in the cottage.
It’s set in a sweet little village where everyone is very welcoming.
We look forward to going again.

The whole booking process was so easy and when we arrived at the cottage we were pleasantly surprised how welcoming it all was. The dogs immediately went for a good sniff and nosy round. The garden is totally enclosed so we felt confident there would be no escapees. The village of Trunch is very quiet with plenty of walks for humans and dogs and I managed to go running every day down the quiet country lanes. The beach isn’t too far away either. All in all Farthing Cottage was the perfect location for us. The cottage itself was definitely a home from home and I think we will be returning for another holiday.

Every year our humum takes us on holiday, and this year was the bestest by far! Not only did we stay for free but we were also allowed on the furniture! (Bonus!!) We had our own secure garden...so no peeing on-lead (we hate that) and it was so peaceful we could sleep without being disturbed after a busy day at the beach or in the woods. Thanks to the Barking Buggle magazine Mum found loads of great dog friendly places to take us, we even rode on a steam train one day! Bacton woods were our most favorite place, we went there every day. We would definitely recommend Farthing Cottage to other furry guests. Woofs and wags, Ollie & Bruno, Elmo & Chip

The cottage was clean and well equipped with plenty of parking off road. It was situated in a quiet vliiage with a shop and pub within walking distance. Bonnie our golden oldie loved spending time outside on the grass in the very secure garden. There was dog beds, towels and accessories as well as welcoming treats for dog and humans alike.
It was a short drive to the coast and we loved going to the coastal times just for a walk round and coffee on the front as we were lucky to have good weather.
If you are feeling adventurous, drive about 14 miles South of the village to hire a day boat on the Broads and they also welcome dogs onboard.

Farthing Cottage is perfect for people with dogs. There is no limit to how many dogs you can take and there is everything there that you would need during your stay. We had a lovely week there with lots of walks around nearby areas. Highly recommended

We had such a lovely Easter break at farthing cottage, greeted with cake and prosecco, and special home baked treats for the dog. Lots of room for the four of us. We used it as a base for exploring all the lovely spacious beaches in Norfolk.

Farthing cottage is spacious and comfortable with everything you need provided, plenty of games and books and even a dart board in the garage for those wet days. The rear garden is very secure so if you are bringing dogs it's no problem. The local pub is only a short walk away and has recently become a community run business very friendly and nice food but limited choice at the moment. We did have an issue with the heating / hot water as the boiler had lost pressure, this took a day and a half to get sorted as no one at East Ruston Cottages was responding to our calls or texts, when they finally did they called Louise the cleaner who came round with her husband Shane and they sorted it all out, they were very friendly and contacted the owner of the cottage who was upset that our much needed break had been spoilt. Despite this we would stay there again and recommend it to others. We have yet to hear from East Ruston Cottages.

The location is ideal for walks in the local area or following a 5 min drive to Mundsley beach, a large expanse of beach. If you wish to venture further afield,then the coast to the North and South have lovely walks and dog friendly beaches. Many also have dog friendly cafes for a hot drink and food. The accommodation was an ideal size for 2 adults and 2 St Bernards, with a nice size garden for them to use. The village has a local shop and Pub both of which are a very short walk from the cottage. The Pub is dog friendly and offers food most days/evenings, they also offer various takeaway Pizzas, freshly made, we highly recommend especially on your first night saves cooking. The area offers a vast myriad of entertainment options covering every taste.
We liked the village that much we are now looking at retiring there in the next 12 months.

The cottage is very clean and comfortable and is supplied with everything you need. The underfloor heating and the log fire made it very snug in winter when we have stayed there.The garden is completely enclosed with a decent high fence so is dog proof. There are many walks from the front door across beautiful countryside,maps are provided. The village is very quiet and pretty but only 10 minutes from a larger town with all the amenities. It is also a short drive from many lovely beaches. East Ruston Cottages are not just dog friendly,they positively encourage you to bring your dogs and supply everything you need. Can't recommend them highly enough.

We had a lovely week's holiday over Christmas at Farthing Cottage in Trunch, Norfolk. This was our second visit to the cottage but it was our first visit to Norfolk in the winter. The cottage was perfect, very clean and welcoming and was very tastefully decorated for Christmas. There were even lots of presents from the cottage owners and the cottage company for our 2 Boxer dogs, a very nice gesture and much appreciated! There was also a nice bottle of Prosecco and a cake for us! There are good dog walks around the village of Trunch and brilliant beach walks not too far away. Trunch has a good local shop and a nice pub which is also dog-friendly.
This was a perfect getaway over the Christmas period and we have no hesitation in recommending it.

We had a fantastic weeks break in Farthing Cottage with 6 well behaved small dogs. When we arrived there was a welcoming bottle of prosecco chilling in the fridge which was enjoyed with our evening meal. There are many good pubs nearby which welcome dogs and have a good selection of ales. I can recommend Farthing Cottage and whoever stays there I'm sure will enjoy all the home comforts it has to offer .

Loved what we saw of Norfolk. Unfortunately we had awful weather and came home early. It was difficult to find places to shelter from the rain when out and about with two big dogs. The weather was dry at times and we explored some of the coast - I particularly liked Overstrand. The cottage was very cosy and warm, clean and well equipped.
A few suggestions:
some more hooks please in the hall and living space to hang coats and towels
bigger dog beds - we have two large greyhounds and what was provided wasn't really adequate especially as the sofas are quite small. We were a bit squashed on the two sofas!
Hooks in the bathroom please - there is nowhere to put bathrobes or clothes
the dining table is too big for the size of the cottage as is the coffee table. We rearranged the furniture to make it less cluttered. I suggest putting a smaller dining table against the wall but with leaves so that ir can be extended if required. I hope this feedback is helpful

super location: quiet village, shop a few feet away, circular walk on doorstep, off set from road, quiet at night, close to many places to visit,everyone we met friendly and welcoming.
house: comfortable sofas, very comfy beds, well equipped, lovely garden, garage great for storing bikes, great extras like: dog beds, dog toys, dart board, DVD, ps2, BBQ, crabbing equipment.
improvements could include: more powerful shower (though Norfolk water pressure not great I know) Bath a bit damaged inside, sharper cooking knives, better placed mirror in bedroom for hair drying.
Cleaners arrived as we were leaving. A lovely warm and welcoming couple.
Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay.
