Boundary Lodge

We had a very enjoyable stay in Boundary Lodge. The garden was secure and large enough for our dog to play in. The house itself was spotless and comfortable. There were one or two things which were missing which would have made it even more welcoming (especially for dog friendly properties) ie dog beds, poo bags, but we had brought our own so not a major problem. The biggest drawback for this property was the lack of walking from the doorstep. The only walks were along a country lane which was quite busy when we tried to walk along it. One local cyclist commented that it was like the M25! (It may have been because it was a Bank Holiday). However, all things considered, we had a nice holiday.

A winter visit to Norfolk

Lovely setting. Very comfortable cottage. As usual, dogs welcomed at no extra charge. We have two elderly dogs who adored the underfloor heating and seemed extremely comfortable sleeping on their beds most of the days. Our third dog is only 3 and very energetic and the large secure garden suited him as he could run and play fetch without danger he might escape. Throws are provided should your dogs want to sit on the furniture and as long as you bring bedding they can sleep on your bed if that's what they're used to. The owners provided a lovely welcome pack for humans and some treats for the dogs. The place was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. We are now regular users of East Euston cottages as they offer countless properties that truly are dog friendly but not dog eared.

Boundary Lodge

This was our first time away with our resuce GSD Reggie. He's anxious and reactive to animals and people he doesn't know .But he's not noise reactive he can quite happily hear dogs barking or people talking as long as he's in a safe haven . Boundary Lodge was absolutely perfect for him he was perfectly relaxed , loved the large garden he felt safe. Places to go were within easy reach short car drive his favourite place was Winterton on Sea with the miles of sand dunes he had a wail of a time there , it was wonderful to see him so chilled and relaxed to the point of him not reacting to anything. For us Boundary Lodge was extremely comfortable, clean and spacious everything we needed .Lovely welcome pack to get us started. Peaceful location . It was everything we'd wished for , for us and Reggie. We will definitely be back !

Lovely relaxing stay

We very much enjoyed Boundary Lodge. Comfy sofa and bed, underfloor heating was cosy. A few spiders webs but to be expected in a rural environment. We met Stephen the owner who was very friendly and keen to make sure everything was OK. Lovely welcome goodies. ☺ The garden was great for our whippet, very secure. A very enjoyable peaceful stay.

Boundary Lodge

So pleased that we selected this cosy holiday home for us and three greyhounds. It was large enough for them to stretch out on the floor. Large Windows to enable them to eye up the birds and squirrels. A really secure garden with a big patio and shady trees. Not overlooked by any neighbours. Beautiful views across farmlands. Very friendly owners provided a lovely welcome pack of goodies for hounds and humans. Have rebooked for another visit.

Restful Break

Lovely property in a peaceful location. Secure garden for the dogs. The welcome pack was excellent and the dogs enjoyed the homemade treats. Plenty to do and see in surrounding area. Our third stay in an ERC property and hopefully not our last.

Perfect dog friendly stay

Everything about our stay was wonderful - Boundary Lodge is not just the perfect base for exploring Norfolk but a really lovely, comfortable house to be in as well. Everything we needed was there, the extra touches were so thoughtful and the owners were incredibly accommodating and generous. The location is excellent and we had lots of lovely adventures all within an hours drive. Wish we were still there! Would highly recommend Boundary Lodge specifically and East Ruston Cottages in general.

Holiday Heaven

We have had a wonderful week in sunny Sutton. We were very blessed with the weather and the dogs enjoyed the garden. The neighbours were very friendly and their gardens were a beautiful bonus. Owners were lovely and very courteous. This was our fourth visit to an ERC property and apart from gas guns over the first 24 hours (one of our dogs is frightened of these), it was a perfect stay and the best ERC property so far.

Perfect get away

Lovely location, near enough to Stalham for supermarket shop plus other essential items from the town. Short drive to empty beaches for freedom walks. The description says secure garden and that is precisely what you get, fully enclosed so that Jack Russells can’t escape through gaps in the fence, tall fencing so that the retired police dog doesn’t feel the need to remember her fence climbing skills! Fields to look over and spot the deer/rabbits. Peaceful and relaxing Excellent neighbours, so friendly you felt that you’d been there for years rather than days.

Amazing Accommodation

Boundary Lodge is fantastic; truly dog friendly and within a short drive of many stunning beaches. Underfloor heating made our stay in November cosy and comfortable and the welcome pack for us and our dog was great. The setting is peaceful with lovely views and the garden is well fenced and totally secure so dogs can enjoy their freedom.We have already recommended it as a wonderful holiday destination and we are looking forward to coming back next year!

Gorgeous property in lovely peaceful location

We have stayed at many ERC properties over the years and Boundary Lodge is definitely one of our favourites. Beautiful, warm, cosy, modern and quirky barn conversion. Clean and well equipped, comfy beds and sofa. Lovely secure garden for the dogs and such a peaceful location, but not far from Stalham or local beaches. The welcome pack was one of the best we have had, so thoughtful and generous. We had a fab Sunday take-a way from The Butchers, Arms, the vegan cottage pie was delicious! Highly recommend. No visit to Norfolk would be complete for us without a visit to the vegan Cafe Carmel!! Delicious food as always and such friendly staff and dogs truly welcomed. Visited our favourite beaches of Walcott, Bacton, Winterton, Sea Palling and a couple of walks at Bacton woods. We had a fabulous week, didn’t want to leave! Back in June staying at Manor Barn, but will definitely book Boundary Lodge again. Have to mention, Stephen the owner was so helpful when we had a minor problem and Sue as helpful and kind as always.

A lovely cottage in a peaceful setting.

We were very comfortable in Boundary Lodge. It is beautifully furnished and well equipped and the seating areas and the beds were super comfy. Good sized bathroom with excellent walk-in shower. The underfloor heating was greatly appreciated by our very elderly dog who made himself cosy on the warmest spots. The garden is great for dogs, not huge but very securely fenced with a grassed area quite big enough for our small dog to chase his ball. Just a short drive to the dog friendly beaches and a very peaceful setting.

Fantastic location and very dog friendly.

Excellent location very quiet and peaceful. The welcome tray was over and above everything you need for a great start! Cottage was great everything you needed kitchen wise except a pizza tray or stone if you have a pizza making kit delivered. Everything comfortable sofas beds etc. All the stuff you need for the dogs throws towels bowls treats even toys. The cottage was warm and comfortable all the time we went in March. Freezer for raw dog food. Garden definitely secure and plenty of space for the dogs to run around. Plenty of information in the cottage of things to do. Walks from the door, dog friendly pubs near by. Short drive to the beach. Lots of space for dogs to run around easily able to find quiet areas of the beach if your dogs are hooligans! Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Another hit from East Ruston Cottages

We recently stayed at a new East Ruston property - Boundary Lodge. What a gem. It is tucked away with an enclosed garden so perfect for our reactive dogs. Not our first time in an East Ruston property but it was out first time away from the coast and the location was a hit with us. Walking distance to Hickling Broad and other walks in the area - plenty to do without getting in your car although lots are on quiet country lanes. The house is not far from Stalham so easy access to shops and also close to main A road so it's easy to get out and but in the car if you want to go further afield. The house itself was cosy and comfy, really well equipped, a proper home from home. As with all East Ruston properties, the dogs were kings (or queens in our case!) so everything you could want for them was there and you felt they were welcomed and not tolerated, as is the case with so many places that claim to be dog-friendly.
