About this property

The Grove | East Ruston Cottages

ALL ABOUT THE INSIDE:
Entrance
Through the front door into the hall way with hooks for coats/keys etc. The floor is wooden with non slip mats (there are more of these available in the hall cupboard).

Sitting room
Lovely large windows with view across fields – a wonderful place to view the setting sun. There is a three seater leather sofa, a two seater leather sofa and fabric covered chair – plenty of seating! Throws are provided for these. There is a lovely feature fireplace with a wood burning stove. Hisense 32 inch Smart TV with Netflix account for guest use. Wooden coffee and chest/drawer unit for games, books etc and reading lamp with USB charger built in.

Kitchen
This is at the front of the house so that there are views across fields, making washing up a pleasure! If you don’t want to wash up you can use the built in dishwasher! There is also a built-in Stoves oven with a double oven/grill. The hob is halogen and there is a microwave, toaster, kettle and fridge/freezer. Plenty of space for food storage and surface space for cooking. Also a built in washing machine. The floor is tiled with underfloor heating and there is a door straight into the garden.

Just outside the kitchen the hall way cupboard has extra non-slip mats, vacuum cleaner, broom etc.

Dining Room
There is seating at the dining table for 4, a tall book case with games and books for guest use. A very useful portable table with built in stools is kept in here – ideal for taking into the living room for a tv dinner if you would rather eat in there. Views out onto the garden.

Front Master Bedroom
This room has a double bed with a black metal frame. There is a bedside cabinet on one side of the bed and on the other side of the bed is a small matching chest of drawers. Bedding is non-feather. Two bedside lamps have built in USB chargers – very useful! The views are towards the rather lovely thatched roof of the cottage next door. There is no wardrobe but a very useful hanging rail/shelf and a full length mirror.

Second bedroom
The bed is a king size in this room and has two bedside cabinets. There is a wall mirror and very useful hanging rail. Bedding is non-feather here too. The two bedside lamps have built in USB chargers as in the other bedroom. The views are out onto the garden.

Bathroom
A modern bathroom with a bath and mixer shower over the bath with a screen. There are also two hand held showers. Washbasin and lavatory too.

ALL ABOUT THE OUTSIDE:
There is enough parking on the private driveway for up to 4 cars so loads of room! The side gate gets you into the private and secure garden. The garden is a good size, plenty of grass with a gravel area and hard standing too. Garden seating for 4 and the entire garden is fully enclosed by 6ft high foot fencing and gates making it very secure and dog friendly. Hedges all have wire within them.

The front garden isn’t enclosed but does have a little bench seat for those sunset sundowners!

My perfect holiday home

The Grove is perfect for me. It's on one floor, it is not too big, but very comfortable and cosy. To cap it all it has a lovely, large, fully enclosed rear garden with different areas to sit in so you can follow the sun or the shade at different times of the day. It's in a lovely rural location, a few minutues from Bacton Woods and only 5 minutes from the coast. My 3 toy poodles, one of which can be reactive, absolutely love it here. They fully relax, so therefore so can I. No hesitation in recommending The Grove.

Beautiful Garden

Lovely bungalow, with so much attention to detail when it comes to your dog’s comfort. Everywhere was exceptionally clean. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was lovely. The living room is on the smaller side, but comfortable and cosy. The jewel in the crown was the beautiful garden, our dogs loved it as much as we did. In between all the walks around the beautiful countryside. With the woods and beach not too far away. Highly recommend.

Best dog holiday ever.

The bungalow was extremely welcoming with almost everything needed for a doggy holiday, plus everything his humans needed, and some. From the moment we opened the gate to the back garden it was obviously going to be a good place to stay. Completely secure garden for ball throwing and doggy sniffing. A cupboard full of doggy toys and bowls. The kitchen had the biggest selection of utensils I've ever had in a holiday let. The welcome goodies were amazing. I was worried about whether our dog would be ok, he's never been on holiday but, unlike some places we looked at that were only tolerant of dogs, he was allowed anywhere and after a bit of hesitation made himself at home. We are already talking about our next visit.

Lovely quiet cottage

Great location if you like peace and quiet. Super views and lovely sunsets. Amazingly well equipped. Big garden, perfect for the dogs, lots of seating to enjoy the sun or the shade all day round. Quiet road with easy access to very pleasant walks. Fascinating church just around the corner, well off the beaten track.

Lovely quiet cottage

The location is idyllic, very quiet with walks from the front door. The cottage was well laid out, very clean and tidy with everything you would need. The garden is a great size and fully enclosed, perfect for sighthound 'zoomies'. A great area to holiday in with plenty to do, places to visit and dog friendly cafes, pubs & restaurants in the area.

Home from home and hound heaven

We stayed for 3 weeks due to renovation work at home. The hosts were not extremely friendly and accommodating. The property had everything you could possibly need down to the last detail. Our dogs loved it. Close to Bacton Woods, Bacton Beach (dog friendly from the car park) and Pogmey woods. We took trips out to Felbrigg and Blickling and had amazing weather throughout. Peaceful, quiet and perfect.

Perfect stay

Lovely place to stay. Our 2nd visit and just as welcoming. Everything you could need and more. Great garden for sniffs and runs for the dogs if they had any energy left after the beach walks. Comfortable beds and cosy duvet. Great bathroom for nice soaks after those long walks, also amazing shower if you prefer. Brilliant place to stay

A great place for people and dogs

This was our first visit to The Grove. The bungalow is equipped with everything you could possibly need for people and dogs. It is very comfortable with amazing views over open countryside at the front. The dogs loved the large garden and the nearby walks. We all really enjoyed our stay and would definitely have another holiday at The Grove.

Great peaceful location

The Grove is a comfortable homely cottage, well equipped for dogs and humans. Lovely and clean and fresh on arrival. Country walks from the door and a short drive to the beach. Shops, pubs, cafes all in easy reach. If you want peace and quiet with everything else on your doorstep it is perfect!

Brilliant Property & Facilities, in a wonderfully peaceful location

This property goes beyond Dog Friendly. Having stayed in other places "where dogs are welcome" there is such a difference when staying at a property like this which is set up for your dogs canine comfort but still caters superbly for humans too. The peace of mind of a secure garden with sunny and shady spots, multiple seating areas in the garden. Dog bowls, spare leads, dog toys, etc, some lovely locally made dog biscuits and goodies for us too in a lovely welcome hamper. Superb facilities, very well maintained, very clean and tidy, which makes for a wonderful restful, and thoroughly enjoyable holiday for you and your beloved dogs. Thank you so much, we will definitely be booking again.

Peace and quiet

The Grove was in an excellent location, on a quiet lane with views over fields, but also close to woods and the beach. It was lovely and clean and had everything you needed. The garden was generous in size and also very secure. I would definitely recommend the cottage and look forward to my return visit later on this year.

Beautifully kept bungalow and garden

We have been renting holiday homes for over 20 years and this is the best equipped we've ever stayed in! Immaculately clean, with everything we could need. The weather was very hot (the temperature inside was 28 degrees even at night) which was uncomfortable, but the lovely, secure garden meant the dog (and us) could stay outside happily. Because of the hot weather, we didn't manage the many lovely walks recommended, although we did have lovely little potters up to the amazing old church in the evenings.

A lovely week at the Grove

Lovely bungalow with a very big garden. Well thought out for humans and dogs. Comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen. Our dogs enjoyed the toy box and loved playing with the different toys. The welcome pack was excellent. Very close to Bacton Woods and the beach. Very quiet location overlooking fields. We wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Very dog friendly

Really enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and the facilities were good, although I was unable to log onto Netflix, but it didn’t bother us. The large enclosed garden was a bonus our cocker spaniel, Milo really liked it, there was no chance of him escaping. The PDF guide book, very useful. Liked the morning walk to the Saxon Church, before going out and exploring the area. And it is a good circular walk to Bacton. The welcome pack was excellent. Would book again if wanting to stay in the area.

Five starts is not enough!

Beautiful bungalow, impeccably clean and excellently equipped with a wonderful dog safe garden. The owners could not have been more helpful (they definitely deserved 1/5!). This, like the other ERC cottages we've stayed in, was a real home from home. Lots of quiet walks direct from the cottage through lovely countryside and quick easy access to beaches and woods. Thank you for a holiday to remember for a lifetime

A Home from Home

The Grove is a home from home for us. We’ve stayed before and rebooked because we knew what we were getting, lovely size hike for the week, massive garden for the pups to play in, gorgeous kitchen to cook in, lovely quiet walks from the front door for our fearful little dog, and just a 5-6 minute drive to Walcott or Bacton beach. Was nice to see the new comfy sofa in the lounge and the lavender colour them throughout the accessories, towels etc was a nice touch. Just a really cosy place to be, and the dogs settled straight away on both our visits.. we’re booked up in some other ERC properties next year but would love to squeeze a week in at The Grove, hopefully with our 4th pup in tow!

A real home from home!

Our first visit to The Grove. We had a wonderful relaxing stay, a real home from home, so quiet and peaceful, with a large garden - excellent for the dogs. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t very kind to us but we still had walks in the woods and to the beach (which was almost deserted) every day. The bungalow is equipped with everything you could possibly want, lots of games, puzzles and books to keep you occupied, plus a very generous welcome pack and a present for our dog’s birthday. We had a lovely chat with Peter (after arriving a little bit early) and he was really welcoming. There are lots of walks down quiet lanes and only a short drive to North Walsham and to all the beaches and very dog welcoming.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 July 2024
Thank you so much for your lovely review! Pete thoroughly enjoyed chatting with you both too. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Grove it is such a shame the weather wasn't kinder.
