A perfect dog-friendly getaway!

We had the most wonderful stay at this charming holiday cottage! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Corner Cottage truly welcomes dogs—not just tolerates them. Our furry friend, Max (the Weimaraner)),was greeted with treats, a comfy dog bed, bowls and everything else doggie he could possibly need. It felt like they had thought of everything to make dogs feel at home. The cottage itself was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches throughout. The Easter decorations and locally sourced goodies were a lovely touch. The fully enclosed garden was a huge bonus—safe and secure, so Max could run and play without us worrying. There were also fantastic walks right from the doorstep, with dog-friendly pubs and beaches nearby. It’s rare to find a place that gets the balance so right between luxury and genuine pet-friendliness, but Claudia and Lennie at Corner Cottage nailed it. We felt relaxed and completely at ease, knowing Max was just as comfortable and welcome as we were. We’ll definitely be back—and recommending it to all our dog-loving friends. Five stars all the way!

Pre Easter Break

Wonderful cottage with lots of character and charm, balanced with comfort. The garden is very pretty and secure which gave peace of mind when away with the dogs. The cottage is semi detached and the neighbours have a gorgeous little dog whose out most of the day, unfortunately our reactive dog did struggle with this. I have slightly marked down on location for us as although the roads are a lot quieter compared to major routes, it was a busy route for heading to Carp Gap beach so we didn’t manage a dog walk straight from the cottage. However, if you’re happy, as we were, to drive to walk destinations it works great. We visited Carp Gap and Bacton Wood (stunning). The cottage is very comfortable and clean, although both myself and my husband struggled getting comfortable with the mattress, again personal preference. The welcome basket is a lovely touch and the host was in touch at the start and end of our stay which was perfect & kind.

Wow what a find

I stay away with my three dogs regularly but corner cottage was my best find to date. The cottage is spacious yet cosy, very well equipped and the owner ensured that everything we needed was easy to find. The welcome pack was also lovely and the dogs enjoyed their treats. I’ll definitely be visiting again

Stay at Corner Cottage

Probably the most relaxing holiday we've had. Everything was exactly as promised when booking. Parking and the enclosed garden were just what we needed. Attentive and helpful support from the owner and manager. Cosy home from home with everything to hand for a perfect visit to Norfolk. We very much hope to return soon.

Our 3rd stay

Another lovely stay at Corner Cottage for our family & 4 dogs. The cottage is spotless & has everything you could ever need. & very well equipped. The dogs loved the secure garden & happily played many times. They also loved their walks on the beach just 5 minutes away in the car. We have booked again for next year.

Another truly relaxing holiday

This was our second break at Corner Cottage. Our Lab knew exactly where were! We have been visiting Norfolk and staying with ERC since 2016. We book with ERC, so we can take our family away somewhere relaxing and stay in lovely accommodation, without silly 'dog rules'. So we always know what to expect when we book through ERC. As soon as we arrived at Corner Cottage we let our lab into the secure garden and he headed straight inside to have a rummage in the dog toy box. We arrived to a lovely welcome basket, with food and treats, which we all really appreciated after a long drive. There were plenty of dog biscuits Loki the Lab, needed to sample and they met his approval! The brownie's are the best I've ever tasted. Such thoughtful touches from Claudia and Lenny.  You can genuinely tell that the owners have made sure you truly feel at home and welcome. The Cottage is very spacious, we have two very tall teens one being over 6 foot! The room's upstairs are a great size and means they can have their own room and the beds are all comfortable and the bedding is good quality too. No scratchy towels, you are made to feel very comfortable with the effort that has been put in from the owners.  We have a reactive Lab, so have to be careful where we book.  Our dog settled so quickly at Corner Cottage last year and this year and we know we can really relax too. Corner Cottage is great as it's so quiet and tucked away, it works really well for our dog. Waking up to beautiful views every morning, it's so peaceful, it really is a break away from everything. Sitting in the garden on the swing bench, and taking in the surroundings is just bliss. We mostly ate at The Star, dog friendly and brilliant food, so close to the cottagem We also ate at The Ship Inn at Mundesley, again great food and dog friendly. We ordered takeaway from The Oriental Garden, it's honestly one of the best Chiense we've had - cash only.  We also got Fish and Chips from Kingfisher Cafe, which was also good. We visited Smallsticks ( thank you for our voucher).  We love Smallsticks and tend to stop in a couple of times! The kitchen is big enough to cook in and there is no shortage of plates, glasses and cooking equipment.We visited Cart Gap beach and Happisburgh beach, we were lucky enough to see two seals swimming.  We also went to Bacton Woods, it's only a 15 minute drive from the cottage and the woods is vast. We have a reactive Lab, so Bacton is great as its big enough and has plenty of paths you can take if needed.   We also did some walks from the doorstep too, we passed Happisburgh Dog Park, it's very close to Corner Cottage, an easy walk. We also stopped at Nero's Kitchen for dog biscuits to take home, they take cash or PayPal.  Thank you so much Claudia and Lenny, for sharing your gorgeous cottage once again and making us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back next summer! xxx

Lovely quiet cottage

Second time booking with East Ruston and can’t recommend them enough. Cottage was in lovely quiet location and close enough to amenities for days out. Lovely welcome pack on arrival at cottage and filled with lots of human and dog goodies. Cottage fabulously equipped and had everything we needed. Added bonus of Happisburgh dog park just down the road to hire and lovely pub The Star, Lessingham snd super dog friendly.

Lovely stay

Our second visit to Corner Cottage & we will definitely be booking again. Everything is just perfect for humans & dogs alike & cannot reccommend this cottage highly enough. Claudia & Lennie are very helpful & welcoming.. The addition of the new coffee machine was much appreciated. Comfy beds & pillows & a Lovely welcome pack. Our dogs love the garden to wander around in. The Lighthouse Inn is a lovely place to eat, very dog friendly & great staff. Also Poppylands 1940's restaurant with a Dad's Army theme was thoroughly enjoyed.

A very restful break

Our stay at corner cottage was very relaxing. Everything we needed for us and the dogs was thought of and provided. The cottage was spotless and the garden was perfect for our dogs. We enjoyed many walks on the beaches at Sea Palling, Cart Gap and waxham up to Horsely to see the seals.

Perfect

This was our first time booking with East Ruston Cottages but it definitely won’t be the last. They are, by far, the most “dog friendly” company we have used since getting our dog 4 years ago. Corner cottage was perfect. So cosy, warm, homely, clean and provided everything you and your dogs would need. The location is perfect, lots of lovely walks directly from the front door and also a few minutes drive to the beach. We holiday with friends who have a reactive dog and the location was perfect for him. Both the Dogs felt at home very quickly. Claudia is very attentive and the extra touches provided are just lovely. We are already looking to book for later in the year. Thank you for a great week.

Perfect winter escape!

Stunning property in a great location to visit the many nearby beaches. It was spacious and cosy all at the same time! We sometimes look at photos of cottages which look lovely online but in reality it's not as good when you arrive. This is not the case at Corner Cottage. I would actually say the photos were beautiful but the reality was even better. We were a family of 3 (child of 14) and we took Grandma along too. Lots of comfy seating for all us and the log burner was wonderful. We found the kitchen very easy to use with absolutely everything we needed. We were very grateful for the welcome hamper and the dogs loved the treats too. As it was such a last minute get a way, it was great that we didn't have to think about packing dog bowls and beds etc. Two bathrooms worked really well for us as a group. The beds were super comfy and the linen and towels were all of lovely quality. It was really handy having the sensor lights on the landing as one of our dogs decided to go out and potter around the garden at 1am. This meant lights didn't have to be put on to disturb everyone else. We were accommodated really well by the hosts with our choice of dates as we could only do Monday to Thursday instead of the advertised Monday to Friday, so the cost was adjusted accordingly which was really helpful for us. We had a very rainy day so we walked to The Star Inn which was very friendly and we would recommend. It is all in all a perfect location if you don't mind getting in the car for a short while to travel to the beach.

A lovely comfortable cottage in a great location

A wonderful two weeks spent at Corner Cottage. Wonderfully clean and equipped there was nothing you needed. Dogs are so welcomed and it was lovely not to have to worry about them escaping from the totally enclosed garden. An easy walk from the cottage to the nearest beach ( Cart Gap) which was usually nearly empty. Claudia was always on hand to answer any questions and I would certainly recommend the cottage .

Corner Cottage

We all had a wonderful stay at Corner Cottage. The cottage is lovely with a nice secure garden for the dogs to have a run in. The cottage was very clean and spacious , the amenities were excellent and a lovely welcome pack was provided with very tasty brownies, biscuits and dog treats. It’s so great to stay somewhere that actually welcomes dogs and not just tolerates them. Would highly recommend.
