Arrived late in the evening after a very long journey, tired and cold.
White cottage had lights and heating on so it was perfectly cosy and immaculately clean, very welcoming.
Had made contact with the owner beforehand as requested, she was so helpful and checked we had arrived OK and no problems.
A lovely welcome pack and everything you could nerd for dogs and humans.
The garden was very secure and beautifully maintained. Secure gates at the front too, perfect for loading and unloading dogs safely.
With no adjacent neighbours it was just perfect for reactive dogs and not a hint of fireworks during November.
So comfortable, clean and warm.I can't think of anything else you would want or need there and I am fussy!
Fantastic cottage, bliss!

Everything had been thought of.
Crates / dog bowls / spare leads/ dog beds / cleaning fluid (in case of accidents) / outside tap / poo bags. Dogs allowed on the sofa - throws provided. Dogs allowed on the bed (bring your own bedding). A completely secure garden which meant we could relax and leave the dogs to enjoy the garden without having to supervise constantly. This shows that the owner and East Ruston Cottages understand what holidaying with dogs is really like. All this allows for a very relaxing holiday
The humans aren't ignored either - spotlessly clean, plenty of space, comfortable furniture, well equipped kitchen, goodies on arrival and even a games room which kept us entertained.
The pre visit info was excellent and lots of suggestions of places to eat and things to do. The location was perfect with the beach a short walk away.
All this made for a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday with our hounds.

This was our second time at White Cottage and it was every bit as good as we remembered. Beautiful, well equipped cottage with all the home comforts you could wish for. Our two dogs absolutely love it here to, especially the large enclosed garden. Most nights, they stayed out there until we went to bed! This cottage is the most dog friendly cottage we have ever visited, but it does not compromise the style & cleanliness of the cottage at all.
The cottage is in a lovely , quiet location with an easily accessible, dog friendly beach just a few minutes walk away. There is also easy access by car to all the great places to visit in both Norfolk & Suffolk.
I must also say the charming & very helpful owener does everything possible to ensure guests have a great stay.
All in all, this place is perfect & we can't wait to go back.

This is our second year at White Cottage. Lovely enclosed and safe garden for the dogs and the cottage itself is excellent. Just a ten minute walk to Happisburgh beach which the dogs loved. Miles of sand to play on.
Highly recommend the area and the cottage and please do try the fish platter from the local fishmonger. Delicious.

We have just returned from yet another terrific holiday in Norfolk, booked through the wonderful East Ruston Cottages company, a multi-award winning, very dog friendly organisation. We took Lady Pauline’s son Fred, and his Boxer dog, Buddy, with us. He got on very well with our two dogs, Fifi and Woody. We walked on six beaches - Happisburgh, Cart Gap, Walcott, Bacton, Mundesley and Horsey. On Horsey beach there were over 100 seals.
We also had some very nice meals, as there are a lot of great pubs and cafes near Happisburgh, where we stayed at The White Cottage. It is 220 years old. It made me feel quite young. Have a look at the cottage using the ERC link below. We also walked in Bacton wood. All in all, we had yet another great holiday, but we knew that it would be good, because Sue Allen and her team at ERC, really know what they are doing.

The cottage is in a good location for reactive dogs being on the edge of the village with a short walk to the beach. We went in winter when it was less busy and had a great time walking on the coastal path and beaches towards Sea Palling. Would definitely come back

Lovely cottage that was perfect for my people and dog reactive dog - no direct neighbours and a lovely secure garden. Location was ideal with the beach and sea within walking distance.
Cottage was well equipped and there was a lovely welcome tray with goodies.
Fast wi-fi and smart TV for those of us who like to stay connected!
There were a few issues on arrival but they didn't detract from the stay. The only reason I mention them is because Louise the owner dealt with them really quickly. Louise is a great host!

White cottage is so welcoming it has such a cosy feel to it. Everything is there for a multi dog stay even down to a first aid kit for humans and dogs!.
The quality of the towels and bedding was first class and everything was so clean and smelt amazing . No worries about your dogs escaping they can go out to the garden and sniff about to their hearts content and you know they are safe.
Short walk to the village and the cliff top walk or pop down onto the wonderful beach . Already booked our return visit for christmas .

This was our third visit to White Cottage. It is a very comfortable, cosy cottage and we are able to totally relax knowing that the dogs are safe in the very secure garden and are welcome inside too - they loved catching the early morning sun in the conservatory from the comfort of the sofa. The welcome pack was full of treats, human and canine, and lived up to its name.
When planning a holiday I do sometimes look elsewhere but I'm drawn back to White Cottage. We don't holiday every year so where we go has to be exceptional. That says it all really.

From the moment we drove through the gates I felt relaxed and at a home from home, but better than home. The property has everything you could ever need, a beautiful totally secure garden, fab for reactive dogs too as no neighbours. The addition of the port holes in the fences so shorties like me can see the beautiful views of the lighthouse without having to jump on a box are brilliant. The bed is so comfy, appreciate this is always a personal preference, and being super king means plenty of room for us and our hounds. Short walk from the very dog friendly beaches of Happisburgh and Cart Gap and Smallsticks cafe, fantastic cakes and dog welcoming too. Can’t wait to be staying with ERC again next year.

We had a fabulous stay at White Cottage, we were able to relax and enjoy a quiet stay. Tilly our reactive Labrador pottered about the fully enclosed garden without fear of others being nearby and Baxter our lovely calm Lab enjoyed scrumping the odd pear from the very laden tree in the garden! We loved the local beach and cliff walks so nearby and a coffee at Waxham Barns late morning became a regular treat.
Our stay at White Cottage was perfect for the four of us, so much so that we rebooked as soon as we arrived home!

We had the most wonderful week at White Cottage. Our 2 large dogs enjoyed the big lawn space very much and were outside more than they were inside! The boundary is 6ft minimum and very secure so totally safe for dogs that cannot go off lead. The cottage itself was clean and cosy with blankets on the very comfy leather sofas and chairs. The beds were very comfy and rooms were light and had a wonderful view of the countryside. I particularly enjoyed the conservatory area and little reading snugs for times when you just want to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet from the family hustle and bustle. The children loved the games room in the shed in the garden and spent many a night playing darts and ping pong, allowing us to enjoy the patio and outside seating with fire pit. The kitchen was very well equipped and the welcome treats of milk, bread, chocolate, cake, home made dog biscuits etc were very well received and greatly appreciated. The house itself could probably do with a bit of updating in places ie some of the kitchen drawers are difficult to open and close and the door to the small room sun room on the side of the house does not open and could do with some TLC but I do think that added to the charm of the cottage and for a week stay it did not bother us too much. You can see the lighthouse from the cottage and the walk there takes about 5mins and then another 2mins to the beautiful sandy beach with a play park at the top by the car park for children. There are also toilets. Walks across the top of the cliffs were just beautiful at sunset with a walk back along the beach to get home. There are also lots more beautiful beaches to discover up and down the coast. There are supermarkets near by and lots of local home made treats you can enjoy for example home made dog treats, venison, wagyu meats, honey, fudge etc. Having never been on holiday with East Ruston Cottages I did find the price a bit steep at £2,200 for a week self catering stay but I suppose when you consider the peace of mind with the secure garden and the location to the beach it seems somewhat fair albeit a little high. It was all in all a very relaxing, enjoyable holiday for us as a family, we loved every minute and will be back to White Cottage again in the future.

Thank you so much for your fabulously detailed review Julia! We are always grateful when guests take the time to send us all their thoughts about their stay in a review. We are really sorry about the bits that didn't work so well at White Cottage - if you had let us know we could have sent someone round to get them sorted (obviously at a time to suit you and the dogs) We always ask for problems to be advised so we can get them sorted. Now that we know we have fed this all back to the owner and will get the issues sorted tomorrow on changeover day so that the next guests don't have this problem. As far as the price - well yes, that is a lot - even with it being a peak summer holiday week in a very dog welcoming cottage close to the sea. We are actively reviewing our prices this week with a view to bringing them down for future bookings. Also for your next booking there is a 10% discount (you should have been sent the code but if not, let me know [email protected]) If you are on our mailing list you will also have another discount code of 12% AND we often run a SundaySaving discount on Facebook and via the mailing list for up to 20% discount. As well as the last minute discounts we have in place too (though I appreciate not everyone can take advantage of a last minute break) Thank you so much again for taking the time to put this together - it is much appreciated and we very much look forward to having you back! Sue

The cottage was super cozy and a great size with a large enclosed garden perfect for our 4 large breed dogs, we took our own XL Hik9 beds as the cottage has 2 x large elevated beds only. Plenty of lovely walks and places to eat. Being super critical (I would return so these are minor points) there were 2 portable humidifier machines running constantly that needed emptying almost daily and did alarm out at 3am a few times when full and we only had winter duvets and it was super hot so we all struggled to sleep at night so could have benefited from some sheets on beds or available to use in summer months and we struggled with the volume of flys in the kitchen it was extreme on our stay. Even with these few elements the cottage was equipped with everything in the kitchen, a great bbq, bits for the dogs like bowls and shampoo and a games room which I wish we used more on our one rainy afternoon. Super relaxing break would defo recommend to family and friends.

Stunning location and plenty of long or short walls to the beach. The cottage was well equipped, we couldn’t think of anything we were missing. The beds are comfy, clean and fresh. The kitchen is a lovely place to catch up and one of our party loved the snug for time out. The garden is amazing for dogs, very secure, even for diggers or jumpers, with high fences and a lockable fate. I think this is one of the most dog friendly and relaxing cottages I have stayed at.

White cottage is in a lovely position in walking distance from the village and beach, the cottage has everything you could possibly want - a real ‘home from home’. We had a lovely welcome pack, with a birthday card and treats for our 10 year old Cockapoo who had great fun playing in the large garden. We had a really relaxing week making the most of the warm weather..

Thanks to Sue at East Ruston for all your help always.

Lots of room and hanging space- much needed for 6 dogs, each with their own wardrobe, bed, etc.
Super walks straight from the cottage. The garden was amazing. The dogs were safe to run around and had fun exploring behind the hedges and shed.
Fantastic tray of welcome goodies.
We spent most of our time in the kitchen and sun lounge as we found these areas the warmest. It felt a little damp/chilly on the cold evenings (we were too lazy to light the fire!)
An immaculate cottage - has everything needed for a home from home feeling.
A wonderful place for a break where everything is set up and centred around dogs.

We have just returned from a relaxing week in this gorgeous cottage . When I say “we” I refer to myself and my three Bernese Mountain Dogs .
The cottage was immaculate and had all the facilities of home . It’s extremely well appointed and full of character . My three boys relaxed straight away and thoroughly enjoyed our trips to the beach which is literally 5 mins away by car .
There isn’t a path outside to walk on which I would mention but of no matter to us as we used the car to explore and all the beaches we found were superb .
I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone and have already booked our next visit . We can’t wait to return !

For the humans; apart from a lovely quaint 200yr cottage it was supplied with a brilliantly stocked kitchen and a tremendous amount of wood available for the wood-burner (so in a bitter December we were never cold).

For the dogs we couldn't have asked for more from a dog treat jar; plenty of coat hangers for leads & harness; great sized garden; allowed throughout house; Simple Solution; HiK-9 beds; throws. So well thought out with your dog's needs met.

East Ruston Manager (Sue) and WC's new owner (Louise) were extremely accommodating.

Fantastic stay.

Very comfortable, clean and welcoming. A lovely part of the uk ideally placed for beaches, good pubs and very relaxing countryside. Would not suggest others go there as we want it for ourselves................
But seriously East Ruston Cottages are very dog friendly and we have travelled many years all over the UK and have seen the rise in such properties and indeed there will always be a market for them and these are some of the best. You are to be congratulated in your high standards but very importantly not too fussy so that we all feel at home which we did, immediately. We look forward to our return next year, our third and not our last.

Another amazing holiday thanks to East Ruston Cottages! This time we stayed at White Cottage in Happisburgh. It’s a real home from home with a fab enclosed garden. We came to check this cottage out before bringing our dogs next year and are delighted. We have had a really relaxing week with long walks and good food. Can’t wait to come back!

A really lovely cottage, superbly equipped and in a perfect location for lovely beaches and countryside walks. We all really enjoyed our stay at White Cottage - lovely garden for the dogs to play and plenty of space for us all. Thank you - we have stayed here before and will certainly be back :)

White Cottage is amazing! It's so comfortable, it really feels cosy and home from home. The location is fantastic, literally a 10 minute walk from the beach or a 2 minute car drive. Sitting in the garden you can hear the waves crashing in the distance. But peace. Oh so peaceful! And the moon and stars at night, we've never seen so many, it's beautiful. It's on a road through the village but so little traffic! It has everything you need. We loved it so much we booked again for next year with 3 days of arriving! We will be back, that's for sure. You won't be disappointed.

After last year’s stay we didn’t hesitate to book again and White Cottage was a joy to spend more time at. Everything you need to relax, a great garden to lounge in, and a perfect place from which to explore the Norfolk Coast. Highly recommended.

Or sixth. We’ve lost track, but not of the reasons why White Cottage works for us. Apart from being comfortable and well equipped, it’s got a lovely garden. One we’ve only seen in the winter months so it was a treat to spend time here in June, in a heatwave and use the space so differently. Due to the heat and having an 11 year old rescue dog (who has been an East Ruston regular since her first year with us) we stayed at home more than usual after an early morning beach walk. Thought we’d be bored but we found slobbing around the garden under the pear tree with a book in between darts matches to be perfectly acceptable! Trouble is, so do lots of other people but we will try to come back!

What a lovely review Berenice, thank you so much, it's always a pleasure to welcome you back to White Cottage - and as you say this time, in the summer, what a treat. I have to say, having lived at WC for 6 months, it has a very relaxing vibe so I'm glad to hear you all chilled out! Best wishes, Penel

What a perfectly welcoming home to stay in! We only wish we could have stayed longer. Everything provided and my treat was to see the Light house every day and at night you can also see her working. Our dogs loved the garden and the large conservatory where i would regularly find them and my husband asleep. Very relaxing holiday, also close to dog friendly beaches and Bacton woods. Very welcoming , very clean. Loved it!

Stayed at White Cottage for a week in May, the owners Penel and Leith were so lovely and the cottage was just perfect with the most amazing fully enclosed garden, so when the pups didn’t want a long walk they could play around the garden. Warm outside showed was def welcome with dogs that love water and mucky puddles! Felt totally relaxed from the minute we walked through the door and so did our dogs, which is most important, never felt we had to say ‘don’t go there’, ‘get off the sofa’ etc, it was a home from home. Would highly recommend both White Cottage and East Ruston Cottages, Sue and George couldn’t be more helpful.

White cottage is in an excellent location near the beach. Everything is provided for you to enjoy a relaxing holiday with your dogs. The dogs were made very welcome they loved the garden we loved the 2 conservatories to sit in. Welcome pack was a nice surprise the dogs loved Neros biscuits. A great holiday hope to return again later in the year.

As soon as we entered through the gate we instantly relaxed. We could here the sea in the distance and we loved how secure the garden was for Flora our dog.

The cottage is quaint. We enjoyed exploring the many rooms and drinking our morning cuppa in the conservatory over looking the beautiful garden. We were very lucky with the weather and also enjoyed eating our breakfast outside.

The cottage had everything you needed including spare dog accessories for if you forgot anything. We loved the games shed and spent evenings star gazing around the fire pit.

We explored the local area with many walks and loved how close it was to the beach. Flora loved her morning walkies with Hobson and his friends!

Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautiful cottage and will certainly be back!

Lovely old house with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Dogs and Grandchildren loved the garden. Table tennis and table football in the shed went down well in the colder weather. It was our second stay here, postponed for the last 2 years because of Covid. We went to Bacton Woods and Cart Gap beach every day, both very close to the cottage. Would recommend Happisburgh Owls, it was a fantastic experience and worth every penny.

We had such a wonderful time at the cottage. From the moment we walked into the spacious garden area and then discovered the lovely welcome pack to spending time in front of the fire with the dogs who, by the time they had explored every nook of their new territory and then spent time running around on the beach, were thoroughly exhausted at the end of every day. It was a very restful time and allowed us the space to relax and just 'be'. We will be returning

If There is one problem with this gorgeous cottage is that it’s so popular!!perfect position, wonderful garden that is very safe for dogs. Comfortable beds and seating and 2 conservatories so you can follow the sun round. Short distance to the sea. What more can you ask of a holiday.

White Cottage has absolutely everything for a wonderful week away with your canine family.
Super secure garden was so important for us as 2 of our dogs are a high flight risk, we had no problems at all.
We all had such a lovely time I’ve been recommending it to all our friends & we will certainly be back.
Fantastic local walks round fields, across the cliffs & stunning beaches
Thankyou for thinking of everything.

What a fabulous time me & my daughter Helen had at White Cottage.
Beautiful cottage, easy to find. The bed was so comfy, it was like sleeping in a cloud. Better than my own!
Lovely safe garden for the dogs to be in. Plenty of space for Tilly to patrol!.
Beautiful clean sandy beaches for dogs & us.
Good vets nearby for us when Teddy was taken poorly suddenly.
Will definitely be coming back

Well what can I say, White Cottage, the perfect holiday location to spend our Golden Wedding Anniversary on New Years Day with our daughter, son-in-law and our 2 dogs. The cottage is so lovely, comfortable and spacious. Everything you need is there provided for you. If you are not sure about anything a quick message to Sue of East Rushton Cottages or Penel the owner of White Cottage and it will be sorted, nothing is too much trouble for them. The wood burner fire was used every day, a bonus, so warm and cosy, well equipped kitchen, spacious bedrooms with very comfy beds, we all slept like logs. The large enclosed garden is fantastic and is ideal if you have a dog like Paddy who is a rescue dog and who was found on the streets and being about 18 months when he was found, and who doesn’t like being with other dogs he doesn’t know. Scrap our title 15 1/2 year old JR has limited sight loved it, she soon found her way round the kitchen, and the garden.
I don’t think I can find anything else to say, just perfect.
Thanks for the welcome box and also thank you Penel for our bottle of fizz.
We will be back

I had really high expectations of White cottage because of all the excellent reviews, and I was not disappointed! The cottage is beautiful, it is really well looked after with thoughtful additions such as the welcome pack with delicious lemon cake! The location is also wonderful, really peaceful and quiet and you can even see the Happisburgh lighthouse from the garden. Our dog can be anxious when his usual routine is changed and doesn't sleep anywhere that isn't home, but he settled wonderfully at the cottage and really made himself at home. And I think that is the highest praise! He had a brilliant time, and so did we, and we will definitely return for another holiday!

This was our first time at White Cottage and we loved it! The garden was lovely, really nice and big and was definitely secure as we have two exploring doggies who would find any escape holes. Lots of nice features and plants outside and a nice warm doggie shower. The cottage itself was very comfortable with all the mod cons and lovely dog beds. We loved the conservatories and the snug and we made great use of the log burner. Our bed was huge and comfy too. The location was fantastic as well with lovely views of the lighthouse and a stones throw from miles of golden beach. Nice welcome pack too. Literally booked to come back before we left - 10/10 fantastic. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend White Cottage

White Cottage was an excellent cottage and we had a fabulous holiday. The location to the wonderful beach was just the icing on the cake. When East Ruston Cottages say dog friendly cottages, they really mean it. We have stayed in cottages all over the country on holiday during the last 12 years but this is the first we stayed in one that really do cater for our canines. We were so impressed with the outside hot tap which was wonderful to hose the dogs down after a beach walk. We will definitely return.

This was the first time we'd booked a holiday through East Ruston Cottages and we will definitely use them again. Booking on line was simple and Sue is available by phone or email to answer any questions. White Cottage far exceeded my expectations. Firstly, and most important to me, the cottage was spotless and there was no smell to indicate other dogs had ever stayed there. Downstairs there's a choice of 4 sitting areas plus the kitchen/diner, so lots of space if you want peace and quiet, plus there's two showers and loos and a utility room with loads of hanging space. Our super king size bed was so comfortable I slept better than at home. Monty appreciated the 2 HiK9 beds, the enormous secure garden and the dog biscuits. Our teenager grandsons enjoyed the games room with table tennis, darts and table football and the space to be away from us in the evenings. We all appreciated the welcome pack. The cottage is a very short walk to the beach, so very convenient for long dog walks and Wroxham or Potter Heigham on the Broads are under half an hour drive away for hiring a day boat. This cottage really felt like home from home and we didn't want to leave.

If you don’t like a place, you don’t return. We have been to White Cottage 3 times now and each time it is harder to leave. It’s the most comfortable, welcoming and dog friendliest cottages we have been to as are all of the East Ruston Cottages properties. It is well equipped and well kept and presented. It has a large garden and is only a short walk to the beach. The owners have thought of everything for human and canine visitors. We can’t wait to go back again!

This was our second stay at White Cottage. Everything about the cottage is perfect and especially great for reactive dogs. The location is perfect with great walks from the cottage. It feels like home from the moment you walk through the door. We have two dogs, one of them is reactive to everything but we never need to worry about this at White Cottage because its so quiet. The garden is secure and very private and everything about the property is super dog friendly. Lovely welcome pack on arrival, the cottage is very comfortable with plenty of room. Totally recommend White Cottage and we all look forward to staying here again in the near future.

What a lovely cottage! It is warm, clean and very comfortable. Everything for both humans and dogs are catered for. The garden is large and totally secure which gives peace of mind when letting the dogs out that there is not going to be any escapees! It is the little things that make it special like the lights on the trees in the garden at night, the welcome pack, throws on the settees for the dogs (although we always take our own), a truly dog friendly cottage which makes a happy holiday and only a few minutes walk to the beach! Highly recommended!

White Cottage is super cosy and such a lovely place to stay. We all felt at home really quickly. As well as beautifully decorated and furnished, the cottage is super well thought out and just works brilliantly, particularly if you have a dog! Totally safe and pretty garden, brilliant games shed, super comfy beds and an excellent spacious bathroom. Lots of lovely and practical space downstairs, great kitchen, handy utility room, super walks from the door and the rest of Norfolk easily accessed too! Would definitely visit again! We absolutely loved it and the owner kindly gave us lots of useful tips during our stay too. Can’t recommend highly enough.

We have just enjoyed a much needed week at White Cottage! It was our first visit and we now totally understand why it is so popular.

It was well equipped and felt like a home from home. It was comfortable, in a great location, easy access to the beach and plenty of walks from the door step.

We would definitely recommend White Cottage and will certainly be booking a return visit!

Plenty of room for four adults, two big children and three dogs. Great location, so close to Happisburgh beach and a little walk to the local shop/post office, chippy and pub.
Facilities are brilliant, the garden secure and large. Cozy, fresh and bright. Would definitely make a bee line to return. Sue at East Ruston always delivers and the quality and cleanliness is always unrivalled. A big thumbs up from us all.

White cottage is everything you could ask for in dog friendly accommodation. We have stayed in a few ERC cottages and they have all been exceptionally dog friendly but now having six dogs we need somewhere spacious for us and the dogs. White cottage fits the bill perfectly. It was spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. In fact it was so good we have booked for two weeks next year. We love where it was and everything about it and the large garden was perfect.

White cottage is in a lovely position in walking distance from the village and beach and driving distance of the beautiful north norfolk coast. The cottage was cosy and everything was provided. It makes such a difference when the owners understand dogs. The dogs were very welcome with beds throws treats and many extras provided. Thank you to the owners at East Ruston Cottages for efficient friendly service.

This is a return visit for us to White Cottage. It has everything we need for a holiday with our dogs. It's spacious, clean, comfortable and has a very secure garden and parking area.

We don't need to say any more other than the fact that our next 2 holidays at White Cottage are already booked!

Our second visit to White Cottage, this time with 5 dogs. Everything was clean and tidy, sofa covers were already in place for the dogs, treats laid out and spare dog beds too.
We love this place as it is SO dog-friendly. The garden and parking areas are totally secure and the garden is plenty big enough for the dogs to play and chase about in.
There's a new warm water tap outside for muddy paws (or sandy ones!). The conservatory is a comfy, sunny spot to relax with a cuppa.
We like While Cottage so much we already have 2 more visits booked.

We’ve had the most wonderful week at White Cottage. The accommodation layout was ideal for our 6 dogs that range in age from 2-13 and don’t all get on! The secure and peaceful garden was also perfect for our young grandson to play, and all within a short walking distance of the beach. The Cottage was so well stocked with everything we could possible need from kitchenware and crockery to books and dvd’s - not forgetting the games room with the table tennis and darts! Sue was able to provide us with extra dog crates and was so accommodating and helpful when our first Cottage fell through. Would thoroughly recommend everything about our experience.

As always accommodation fantastic and garden loved by all. Sat outside for breakfast every morning. Enjoyed nearby beaches and pub . Unfortunately booked for this week next year should have been quicker.
Never any sign of previous canine guests . And our German shepherd loved the raised dog beds . Now have to purchase one.
We have stayed in 4 East Euston cottages and cannot fault any of them . Will have to try another next May .
Many thanks Sue and Penel.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at White Cottage in fact I could have moved in. We stayed for a week with our English Setter dog who immediately made himself at home. The cottage is very dog friendly not just dog tolerant like some places we have stayed. The garden is very safe as is the access drive with fencing all round. It is in a quiet location with no direct neighbours. The garden is big enough for dogs to play. There are throws on the furniture and every provision provided for the four legged friends. The kitchen is well equipped and the super king bed so comfortable. We ate at the local pup which was so so and a bit expensive but the Poachers Pocket and Lighthouse a shirt drive away were excellent and dog friendly. You can walk to the beach from the cottage which is a credit to the owners. Thank you for sharing your lovely home where no detail was spared

We found White Cottage charming, spacious (inside and out), well equipped and a very relaxing place to stay - especially with a dog. The location was great - easy walks from the door to the beach (followed by a great breakfast at Smallsticks cafe!) and to the dog friendly Hill House pub. Booking through Sue @ East Ruston cottages was easy - a no fuss, efficient & friendly service. Im sure we'll be booking again.

We stayed during Storm Gareth and a poorly dog and human full of cold so not our usual daily beach walks but we enjoyed the warmth of White Cottage. It’s been two years since we’ve stayed and the improvements to the showers and heating were welcome and we appreciated the extra heat from the wood burner when the wind felt like it was doing it’s best to set flight to the house! The fences remained secure and the garden was a safe space. Thank you for our stay.

A perfect way to spend Christmas is not an understatement.
With two teenagers, a hard to please husband and two lurches, it is sometimes a big ask to please all of the people all of the time.
But, White Cottage exceeded our expectations; it was comfortable, clean and incredibly homely.
Everything we needed and more, plus everything for the pooches laid on too.
Would recommend without hesitation

This was our 4th visit to White Cottage and it was perfect as always. The cottage is beautiful and has everything we needed and we love that the garden is completely enclosed with no neighbours so we could completely relax when letting our 3 dogs out there. We found some lovely quiet walks. We look forward to visiting again!

White Cottage is perfect. We came home feeling quite dissatisfied we our house! Great location. Perfect for walks straight across the fields to the beach. Loved that it was detached.

As everyone has said it was so dog friendly. Plenty of room for the dogs (we had 6). No evidence of previous doggy guests.

Would recommend to anyone. Norfolk is beautiful. We loved your deserted beaches. I just wish it was nearer!

I can see why this cottage is booked up so far in advance! If your a multi dog owner it’s perfect. It’s a lot bigger than it looks from the outside.
So dog friendly inside, throws every where so your dog can settle beside you in one of the 2 conservatories overlooking
the substantial back garden or nestled in the cosy lounge. The garden is so safe for your dogs and also an added bonus so is the area the car is parked.
