Seaview Cottage | East Ruston Cottages

Living Room
Two lovely big sofas to seat 6 and a chair. The room is a proper cottage living room so we can't fit any more big sofas in but there is other seating in the kitchen. The new electric woodburning stove delivers instant warmth and comfort without the hassle and mess of a wood burner. Operational by remote control with optional smoke effects; can your dogs tell the difference? There is a wall-mounted 40" flat screen TV (with Freesat) and some lovely art works. From here into the...

Kitchen/diner
Modern fitted kitchen, all open plan. Plenty of room, fitted oven and hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, kettle etc. Plenty of crockery and cutlery and everything you need to cook. Wooden table and chairs for 6. You can open up the double doors and go straight into the garden.

Laundry room
Washing machine and plenty of storage for boots, coats etc. and...

Downstairs toilet and shower
Walk in shower cubicle, sink and higher standing Burlington toilet.

Bedroom 1
Just off the kitchen this bedroom has a motorised king size bed, adjustable at the press of a button for additional rise whilst reading, eating or assisting guests to bed. Drawer space and views south out of the front of the cottage across the lane and field. 40″ TV and Freesat box. Back into the house and through the living room to go up the stairs (straight and not too steep, with a bannister) to the…

Upstairs loo
WC and basin with a view. You can see the sea when you wee!

Bedroom 2
South facing double bedroom with plenty of hanging and storage in a separate closet. Views across the fields towards Bacton Abbey. Some beautiful pictures decorating the walls. TV and Freesat box.

Bedroom 3
Sea views from this smaller double bedroom with drawers, lovely pieces of art and a TV and Freesat box.

Ensuite Bedroom 4
Kingsize bed with lovely comfy mattress. 40" TV with Freesat box. The bathroom has a shower, another loo with a view and a whirlpool bath. Lie in this, enjoy the bubbles and the sea view too. There are double doors opening out onto the glassed balcony (flush to the wall) looking over the garden so you can enjoy the fresh air and sound of the sea!

All about the outside

The garden is a reasonable size and fully enclosed with a nearly 6ft high thick hedge, backed with a solid fence – really secure! You can hear the sea and the gulls from the garden with just a field between you and the sea. There is a garden room with sofas in for sitting and enjoying the sun or an evening barbecue (provided) and a dog poo loo to save using plastic bags AND a warm dog shower too.

Your pack can really let loose in this garden on their holidays – Seaview Cottage has such a secure boundary!

Please note:
No smoking in the house please. The house is semi-detached – please do respect the neighbours' peace and quiet and not allow dogs to bark too much in the garden or children to make excessive noise in the house.
IF you would like to leave your dogs unattended in the house, and you are not confident they will be settled, please contact us for free dog sitting. The lane access to the cottage is a single track, residential lane – please travel along it slowly for the safety of all. If you would like your dogs to sleep on the beds, just let us know and bring your own bed linen. The hot tub is no longer in use at this property.

Sea view
We had a lovely time. beautiful cottage. Very short walk to the beach. The path to the beach runs right past the lounge window , which can cause the dogs to bark when people walk past. The local cafe and pub are very dog friendly.

A good place to stay
Very comfortable cottage in a great location with a very short walk to the beach. Good facilities in the cottage with a well equipped kitchen, it also has a hot water shower in the garden for rinsing sand off of the dogs!

Wonderful cottage
Loved this cottage, spacious with 4 double beds, comfortable, warm and small welcoming touches. Secure garden for the dog. Private and close to the beach. It was well equipped , only negative was the sofa has lost its firmness and you struggle to get out.

Another wonderful week at Seaview Cottage
This was my second time staying at Seaview Cottage and it didn't disappoint. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and cosy, and it's so lovely being able to walk and walk along the beach. Leonie had baked another of her delicious cakes and my dogs loved the treats waiting for them at the cottage. We had an amazing time and look forward to booking more holidays with East Ruston Cottages!

A great place to stay
Seaview comes out tops with us. It's practically on the beach and our dogs loved it! The cottage itself was very well equipped with everything you could need on holiday. It was in a quiet location but near to shops, takeaways etc. Definitely would highly recommend to anyone considering it.

Relaxing, comfortable, dog friendly
Lovely cottage, clean, comfortable & 2 minute walk to miles of sand. We had a lovely relaxing week, the weather was perfect to take our dogs for long beach walks then back to snooze on the comfy sofas. The house had everything we needed. The garden was totally secure. The owner was only a telephone call away if needed & the delicious welcoming cake on arrival was a kind touch. We are definitely going back next year.

Fantastic dog friendly cottage and garden
What a lovely comfortable cottage! Sofas and bed very comfy, very well equipped kitchen and modern bathrooms. Large garden completely enclosed so it was great to have the french doors open from the kitchen diner knowing our dog was safe. Dog towels and toys if needed. Located on a quiet road taking you to the beach with no through traffic

Fabulous dog holiday!
Seaview Cottage is a Norfolk gem. Probably built around a century ago, the cottage has been sympathetically extended to provide very spacious and comfortable accommodation. The fully enclosed garden, with access to the front of the house, is a huge bonus as it is equipped with a hot/cold shower that, given the slightly dodgy weather, was used daily. The owner supplies all kinds of equipment to cope with dogs large and small, including dog beds, towels and bowls. The sandy beach is barely 2 minutes away, and encourages long, healthy walks to build an appetite for sampling the delights of Norfolk farm produce.

Sea view cottage
Had a lovely week at sea view cottage perfect for what we wanted peace and quiet, the owner was very helpful and make us a wonderful welcome cake. As with most east ruston cottages it was well equipped and clean and as always perfect for the dogs. Although I will just say having visited many of there cottages we are finding they are all getting very expensive. Sea view cottage is a large cottage so is quite good value for money and we will probably go again.

Home from home
Home that’s what i call Seaview, or at least I wished it was , we absolutely love staying there . From the moment you arrive it’s like putting on a pair of old slippers it’s just so comfy, has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay ,none of us ever want to leave & doesn’t matter how long you stay it’s never long enough. Thank you Leonie for sharing your wonderful cottage with us & thank you Sue for everything you do when we book , ERC cottages are the best dog friendly cottages you could ask for .

Calm beach side holiday
Good location for beach walks next to stretch of dog friendly beach. Dog friendly house. Small utility room too small for dogs to sleep in (our usual arrangement at home) and the kitchen door to living room did not shut. Crates are available. Dog sitter found locally for evenings out.

Wonderful stay at Seaview cottage
This was our second stay at Seaview. The cottage is welcoming clean and cosy. A lovely jacuzzi bath upstairs is very welcoming. The location couldn’t be more perfect. Walk to the top of the road to the wonderful expanse of beach very dog friendly. Cafe Carmel in walking distance which is a great vegan cafe and dogs are allowed on the sofas. Also a short walk away Is watsons cafe serving great breakfasts and other food also dog friendly. You also have a dog friendly pub walking distance away. The host left us the most amazing cakes for our arrival and even got me some which is amazing as I have allergies. So kind of her. She even left dog treats for the dog. Would highly recommend we will be back.

10 out of 10
We had an amazing week staying at Seaview Cottage. The cottage is cosy and extremely well equipped (for both humans and dogs) and spotlessly clean. It was perfect for us (4 adults and one Labrador) especially having a downstairs bedroom as Dexter is not able to use stairs anymore. The 2 minute walk to the beach at the bottom of the lane was the icing on the cake. We could roll out of bed and straight onto the beautiful beach in record time. We were lucky to see some beautiful sunrises on our early morning walks along the deserted beach. The garden was safe and secure and the garden room was an added bonus. The views from the bathrooms are stunning. It was an easy walk to the very welcoming dog friendly pub (Poacher’s Pocket). Communications from the owner were excellent and we felt at home as soon as we arrived. Would highly recommend.

Great access to the beach
Great cottage for a groups upto 6 with dogs. Excellent dog facilities and secure garden. Very well equipped in the kitchen, nice touch with welcome goodies, yummy cake. The owner is very easy to contact and replies very promptly. Great for beach access, good parking. Comfortable furniture, beds and good showers. Lively seaviews from the bedroom windows. A tumble dryer would be very useful to dry hot tub towels. Was disappointed that only 3 people could use the hot tub at once . The garden table only seats 4 people for alfresco eating. The loungers need cushions, or updating as they are uncomfortable. The outdoor room in the garden needs freshening up, a changing area in the hut would be good idea. Overall a lovely cottage by the sea but the garden area could be improved with the above.

You can not beat the location of this cottage!
An absolutely fantastic location, we could not get our girls or our dogs off the beach or out the sea, they loved it. It was so nice to wander down the beach with a cup of tea or coffee in the morning. If you are looking for a great location, this is the cottage for you! The bedrooms were all decorated nicely and the bed linen was soft and clean! The sofa was very comfortable and the throws provided to cover them with were a great size meaning we didn’t worry and have to constantly pull them to fit! The outside shower was a godsend for dogs and children. The garden room was lovely to sit in and read. A great location not only for the beach but also for lots of places which were only a short drive away - Bacton woods, happisburgh, Smallsticks,the Gunton arms, Cromer, thrigby hall and Bewilderwood. If you are able to we would highly recommend booking a visit to the Happisburgh lighthouse to go up the top. Lots of lovely play parks nearby - Happisburgh and Bacton we frequented. Leonie was great at communicating and I felt if I had needed to, I could have messaged her at any point. Everything was seemless and we had such a great time. We holiday in Norfolk frequently and will definitely rebook with east Ruston and would highly highly recommend Seaview cottage. The welcome cake was delicious too! Thank you! X

BEAUTIFUL COTTACE BY THE BEACH
We have just had a lovely week where we could walk out the front door with the dogs off lead straight down to the beach. We have 3 grown children, with partners, one grandchild and 5 dogs in total so finding accommodation where we can all meet up is not easy. Whilst not all of them were on this trip we cannot rate Seaview Cottage highly enough when there are only 6 adults. The owner had thought of everything we needed for a dog friendly holiday and to top it off a beautiful homemade cake was waiting for us on arrival, especially gluten free, as ERC checked for allergy information before we arrived. Even those of us who do not require gluten free food enjoyed it. The safe enclosed garden was brilliant for the 4 dogs we have between us and our grown up children. And it was our 6 week old granddaughters first ever holiday too and the downstairs bedroom made life easy for her parents. The cottage was ideally located for visiting places like Cromer & Wells Next The Sea to the north and down to Horsey Gap to see the gray seals in the south. The seals were the highlight of the week as was the walk around the estate at Blickling Hall. I could ramble on for hours about the good things about our holiday but one thing for certain is next time we want to visit Norfolk we will definately re-book Seaview Cottage.

Another excellent property
Our first visit to Seaview Cottage & what a great week it was! A 1 minute walk to the beach, a top floor suite with amazing views of the sea & a super enclosed garden for the dogs. The cottage was filled with lots of extra touches, Leonie's famous cake went down a treat & 2 very happy but tired dogs had the best time exploring the area. The weather was OK, we caught up with some friends, went swimming in the sea & a spot of fishing at Potter Heigham. A fabulous week in our happy place.

Our stay at Seaview.
We all had a wonderful holiday at Seaview. The dogs loved the beach running in and out of the sea. The local pubs and eating houses were very good. The cottage was clean and tidy, and had a wonderful sea view. Well worth considering again at some time.

Beautiful dog friendly cottage by the sea
We have just returned from a x4 night stay at seaview cottage in Bacton. All of us including my x 3 dogs thought it was perfect for what we needed. The house was well stocked with all the provisions you could need. The location was great for beach access and local shops and takeaways. The track up to the cottage was a little bumpy and uneven. Overall though it was amazing and we can’t wait to come back Thank you very very much.

Wonderful stay at Seaview Cottage - beach just down the lane, enclosed garden, comfortable rooms
We spent a great week at Seaview Cottage with our 2 dogs. The property is spacious inside and very comfortable. The real bonus to this property is its proximity to the beach - literally just down the lane and then you have miles of beautiful, sandy beach to explore. The lane is very quiet and the small garden to the back is very secure, with no visuals, which was great for one of our dogs who is quite reactive. Leonie, the owner, made the most delicious cake for us as a welcome - worth going back just for that - and she was super helpful with getting a dog sitter very last minute and checking we had everything we needed. We didn't explore the area because we were just so happy to spend every minute on the beach, but plenty of dog-friendly restaurants and cafes around. This was our first time using ERC and we can't fault them - will definitely be booking with ERC again, and would love to return to Seaview Cottage again, soon!
