Ensuite Master bedroom
Double bed in a well appointed room with plenty of hanging and storage space and a well fitted ensuite bath room with a bath and over bath shower.

They are steep and not ideal for those with mobility problems but easy to get up and down when you know how and handrails to help. They lead to a lovely balcony outside the bedroom, overlooking the main living area.

Upstairs bedroom
This room is in the beamed eaves (low beams) with twin beds which can also be a superking double, bedside cabinets, easy chair and canvas wardrobe. Small window level with the floor opens up with a view down into the gravelled area at the back of the barn.

ALL ABOUT THE OUTSIDE:

Rooster Barn is at the end of a private gravel drive and accessed through the wooden 7 bar gate with extra mesh backing to stop small dogs escaping. Park and shut the gate and you can safely let the dogs out into the enclosed garden.

Double doors from the living room open out onto a lovely south facing patio and a gravelled area. It is separated from but connected to the parking and large grass paddock area. The whole of the property is gated and well fenced around the perimeter with a combination of post and rail fencing with stock mesh (smaller at the bottom to stop very small dogs squeezing through), solid fence panels and a mix of fencing plus planting. At the lowest point it is approx 4ft. but solid.

Rooster Barn grounds are mature and include an attractive but robust planting of shrubs and hedge plants. The main garden is laid to lawn with plenty of space for your dogs to exercise in a safe and secure space.

Dog friendly heaven

We just spent 5nts at Rooster Barn with our 3 little dogs and what a wonderful time we had. The barn and garden were just perfect for us all, we also took our elderly mother who loved it just as much. The area is in a quiet location but easy access to explore Norfolk. The welcome pack was a lovely and generous touch and enjoyed by everyone. We will deffo be returning to one of your properties in the near future for some more relaxation time xx

Rooster Barn- A late summer booking

Lovely location, very peaceful, but in a central location for visiting both coast and countryside. Lots of walks available from the cottage, along with lots a short car ride away. Very good welcoming pack for both humans and dogs. As dogs are allowed everywhere, it is the first time I've gone away with our dog and not had to worry about where she was going or sitting. A very secure garden, full fenced, so no worries there either.

Lovely converted barn - comfortable, spacious, 'home from home'. A great place to stay

We loved our stay at Rooster Barn - Rooster barn has a beautiful interior, is well equipped and has all comforts for a relaxing stay. The beach and nice walks are nearby, along with great places to eat. The barn has plenty of resources for people wanting to self cater. It has an outside area for eating in fine weather and is really great for dogs, as the outside space is enclosed with a gate. Highly recommended - we plan to return.

Happy customer

First time at Rooster Barn. Had a week away with my husband and our four large dogs (Pointers and a Weimaraner). We were greeted with a lovely welcome pack and a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate our anniversary. The accommodation was perfect for us as it provided a secure space for our dogs to wander, as well as giving us a peaceful place to rest. There is a pub (under new management) in the village, where we sat outside after a walk with the dogs and everything else is just a short drive away. The neighbours dogs were not a problem. They occasionally barked when they heard our dogs outside, but there was no place around the property for contact, it’s completely secure. I’ve already booked to come back next year.

Rooster barn Trunch

Beautiful place to stay plenty of safe space for dogs to run around well equipped cottage. The only thing i would say been a barn is noise floor boards above the ground floor bed room and noise doors. Could do with changeing the double bed to a king size bed as I found the double to small .but very warm at rooster barn and comfortable

Another Great Stay

Rooster Barn is just great-wonderful garden and beautiful accommodation close to woods, beach and common walks plus good local pubs and restaurants. What is not to like?! East Ruston makes every trip for a dog owning holidaymaker better-they just get it.

A Week With The Roosters

What a lovely property this is. We felt at home from the moment we arrived, until we left. Well equipped with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The welcome pack was very generous. And the dogs appreciated their treats too.

Simply stunning

We booked a last minute short break and couldn’t believe how stunning the property is. Very large, secure garden (I have small dogs) which meant I could have them in the garden without worry about them escaping. The house itself is beautiful and huge effort has gone into making it perfect in every way. The large log fire was the icing on the cake with the chilly evenings drawing in. Many thanks for one of the best welcome packs ever which included lovely local produce. I can’t fault this property and hope to come back. First class from booking to checking out, East Ruston Cottages have got it spot on .

Best of the best

You really can not fault this Barn. There is everything you need plus a few things you didn’t know you did! The welcome goody packs for both humans and dogs are so good! You can drive in, shut the gate, and your hounds are totally secure. We found we got to the Mundersley beach quickly, but there are so many places to visit. All dog friendly. Blickling Hall, Felbrigg Hall and Morston Quay we recommend a visit.

Rooster Barn

East Ruston Cottages were very easy to deal with and they are truly dog welcoming. They provided all the necessary information in the lead up to the holiday. Rooster Barn is well placed in Trunch, and there were so many good walks from the house. The barn itself was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Liz was very communicative and left a wonderful array of human and dog treats. We had a lovely relaxing week and I would have no hesitation in recommending either Rooster Barn or East Ruston Cottages if you wish to visit North Norfolk

Return to Rooster Barn

After visiting last year for the first time (we re-booked within 2 days), it was great to return to Rooster Barn. The area is tranquil and has so much to offer, particularly as we have two young dogs who love to have off lead walks and sniffs. Everything you could want for a home from home. Great places to visit all within 10 miles or a 15 minute journey. Highly recommend.

Wonderful barn conversion

Rooster Barn is a gorgeous property and it was a holiday we were so looking forward to. Everything was provided that we had requested as we were bringing a dog with some mobility issues. Customer service was excellent. Loved the location of the property. Sadly after only one day one of our dogs became very poorly and we had to dash back home (6hrs away) and could only return to pack up and leave . Sue was so helpful and sympathetic, helpfully managed to rebook our second week which we were so grateful for. If you ever need a reason to book with East Ruston Cottages then our experience tells you why. Brilliant customer service together with amazing properties. We will be back!

Perfect Norfolk Christmas!

Christmas at Rooster Barn. ….. magical! This was our 3rd visit this year, yes we are hooked. The barn is just stunning, a beautiful conversion with loads of exposed timbers. Cosy open living/dining space with a double sided wood burner and comfortable seating arrangements. All creature comforts are provided and our dogs love the barn and garden. Short distance to the coast for seaside walks and a lovely village pub. Have already booked 3 stays for next year… can’t wait!

Had a great holiday

The garden was very secure and the parking within the property was ideal. When you think you have taken everything you need on holiday BUT ALSO FIND IT AT THE PROPERTY, then you realise what a well thought out, well stocked property it is! It was the perfect size and layout. It had wonderful open access to a seating area at the side and a large enclosed lawn. We found a walk locally and the lane walks were quiet and safe. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Dogs were well provided for and having all facilities made such a difference, and I mean also a hosepipe as I have mud lovers in two of my dogs. Management is only an e mail away if there is an issue and they are positive and friendly. I loved our week there.

We love Rooster Barn

This was our second stay at Rooster Barn and our third holiday with East Ruston Cottages. Absolutely everything that we might need, or the dog was there, along with a delicious welcome pack for humans and dog alike. The enclosed garden with plenty of room to park the cars is fantastic. Very private and relaxed. The whole process from booking to departure is made easy and we were well informed. Sue is very good at answering any questions you may have. Would thoroughly recommend both Rooster Barn and East Ruston Cottages for a truly dog welcoming holiday experience!

Super times in Super dog friendly cottage

This is a wonderful barn where the owner has thought of everything. Such a wonderful welcome pack….. even a birthday toy for Frankie my older black lab who was celebrating being 10! So generous. The barn has a sizeable secure garden with a ranch gate that has also been wired so it is perfect to leave dogs roam while you sit in the sun. The barn has a tiled floor but with mats dotted about, my dogs were very relaxed and chilled, plus the provision of dog throws, towels, dishes, crates etc was a real bonus. If you already have a car full, you can leave some stuff behind since Roosters will have it. A big thank you too for popping our online groceries order away. What a treat! We arrived and it was all done for us. Lovely. Plus the app and playlist were a special initiative we enjoyed. The paddle staircase is a bit more of a challenge. It’s very clear in the description and as someone with double titanium knees, I considered it, got about halfway and decided not for me! Husband was fine using it though. My younger lab (who goes everywhere that the Boss goes) looked up at it rather bemused and then stayed firmly on ground floor for the fortnight! We took our own bedding for the downstairs bedroom.. Worth noting it’s a double there but I took a king duvet cover which seemed to be right for the duvet provided. Lots of adventures….. huge dog friendly beaches such as Winterton, Brancaster and Holkham. Loved all the stately homes…. Holkham, Blickling, Felbrigg, Sandringham. Not everywhere dog friendly but we relayed going into the houses while the other walked the dogs or sat with them having a cuppa etc. perfect. We went to the Broads, Wroxham, Norwich, ate crab sandwiches galore ( so cheap!) and highly recommend a great place to visit. We found so many cafes that were so welcoming and loved seeing the hounds. In fact, they’ve never had so many free treats (and in some places squirty cream with gravy bones!) We would definitely recommend Rooster Barn if you are looking to explore everything Norfolk has on offer- a dog friendly haven. Fabulous.

Rooster Barn

We have stayed in this rental before and its excellent and well furnished. Situated off road in a little village called Trunch, locals are very friendly and there is a lovely Circular walk round Trunch which our dog loved. If you want a restful holiday this is the place and of course you just have to jump in your car and visit the beaches and towns nearby. The local pub The Crown is just up the road but we wouldn't recommend eating there as they only do pies and nothing else. The Vernon Arms is quite near although we didn't eat there this time but have eaten there a few years ago, but it is popular by the number of cars in the pub car park. Needless to say East Ruston Cottages are a good company to use and I would not hesitate recommending them.

Home from Home

Our 3rd stay at Rooster Barn with our dogs, and they love the space and comfort as do we. The barn is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, making it the most amazing cosy holiday home. The garden is a great space for essential zoomies and provides a marvellous evening environment for a glass of wine or two. Lunch/Dinner in the courtyard garden listening to birdsong ... idyllic to say the least. Happisburgh and the coast are a 15-minute drive away, Fellbrig Hall, Sheringham Park, Hillside Animal Rescue Centers and many more sites for touring around. A special mention for The Crown (Village Pub) for their amazing array of pies and mash concoctions, the Lighthouse Inn and last but certainly not least, The Fair Maiden Fish Shop in Happpisburgh. Kirsty runs a tight ship, and you can expect the most amazing fresh seafood! We will be back in December to celebrate Christmas at our favourite East Ruston Cottage.... can't wait.
