Fantastic converted barn in quiet village

We had a week in Rooster Barn and really loved it - it's a quiet location but close to many great Norfolk locations. Very well stocked for guests and doggies alike, with a great secure garden - our 4 Galgos loved running around in it and we had no worries about them getting out. We'll definitely be back!

We Loved It So Much, We Booked Again!

We have just returned home after spending two wonderful weeks at Rooster Barn, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The barn is absolutely stunning — beautifully presented, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The large garden was a huge bonus for us, especially as we had our dogs with us. They absolutely loved having so much space to run around and explore! The location was perfect for us too. It was so peaceful and quiet, yet made a great base for exploring Norfolk and getting out and about during our stay. We enjoyed our two weeks so much that we actually booked our stay for next year while we were still there! That probably says more than anything about how much we loved Rooster Barn. We were genuinely sad to leave, but knowing we have another stay booked gives us something to look forward to. We would highly recommend Rooster Barn to anyone looking for a beautiful, peaceful, comfortable and dog-friendly place to stay in Norfolk. Thank you for a wonderful holiday — we can’t wait to come back next year! ❤️

Peaceful break

Nice property in a lovely, quaint village, 5 mins walk from village pub. Handy location for visiting other villages and beaches. Very well equipped with kitchen 'stuff' (including washing machine and pegs for the whirly), books, games, dvds etc. Plenty space to park right outside the barn in the garden. Looking rather tired inside and feel that quality of bedding and towels could be a lot better. That said, it was comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay.

The perfect place

Our fourth stay in an ERC property, and yet again it was perfect. Rooster Barn is so peaceful, homely and the perfect base to enjoy Norfolk. Lots of country walks from the front door, also only a 5 minute drive (40 minute walk) to the beach at Mundesley. Everyone we met in Trunch was so friendly. Everything you could need is provided, and the barn is super clean. The welcome goodies are perfect. We had glorious weather so made good use of the garden space and courtyard. Our dog also loved the garden, but also cooling off on the tiled floor when hot. We will be back . Thank you ERC.

Lovely, comfortable stay

Delightful stay at such a lovely cosy cottage. The wood burner created a wonderful atmosphere in the evenings. Everything you could need with the extra benefits of driving in and closing the gate, knowing when you let the dog out he was safe. Fabulous location to visit Northwest Norfolk.

Wow!

Our first reaction when arriving at Rooster Barn was 'wow!'. We closed the gate behind us and let the dogs out into a large and safe garden. The barn is beautiful and full of homely touches. It really is dog friendly too. The village location is lovely and peaceful. Friendly bar staff are ready to welcome you in the pub. There are lots of dog friendly pubs and cafes in the area. Go to Bacton woods and then Watsons for breakfast! My only slight negative is the staircase. It's quite tricky unless sure footed (but our daughter slept upstairs).

The most dog friendly barn ever

Beautiful barn in great location. Warm comfortable, everything had been considered to make our stay perfect for dogs and humans. The underfloorheating was a great hit with the dogs and they also loved the outside areas. We will be back but we know we will need to book asap.

Comfortable relaxing stay

We had a lovely relaxing stay and very much appreciated the goodie welcome pack. This was one of most dog friendly places we have stayed in, so well thought out with extra towels, poop bags, crates, food bowls covering all the pets needs. Nicely furnished, kitchen well equipped, comfortable bed, fab WiFi, lots of visitor sites info, plenty of of board games, well written manuals for function of the whole house, good sized secure front and back garden for our 2 small reactive rescue dogs. Location was perfect to get around to see so many sites, beaches, close by to many woods, parks all very dog friendly, walking distance to local pub. Great area for wildlife, we saw many sightings of Chinese Water Deer, Muntjac deer, pheasants and lots of hares all roaming freely in the fields and mashes nearby. Thank you!

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

Yet another glorious Christmas Break at Rooster Barn

This must be our 4th Christmas at Rooster Barn; the 5th did not happen because the barn was already booked, and we stayed at New Year's Eve. It is always such a wonderful time here, beautifully decorated and very atmospheric. Cosy, warm and welcoming. The surroundings are a delight, and Happisburgh beach is only about a 10-minute drive away. I should not give too much praise, as I may jeopardise future stays. The barn is very popular and will no doubt be more so. A wonderful home from home for our dogs and us! Next visit in May, we cannot wait...

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.

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.

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.
