This was our second stay here (and not our last) which speaks volumes. The owners ensure your holiday starts off in the best way possible with a lovely welcome pack - for humans and hounds. Lots of thought goes into ensuring guests and their dogs are made to feel welcome from the get-go. The cottage is always spotless and the garden is ideal for anyone with dogs who can simply be let out without any anxiety. The property is ideally located for easy access to everything - beach, pub, chippy, shop and the lovely village of Winterton. The furthest we travelled was 30 mins, so quick, simple access to a whole host of other attractions if you feel the need to venture out of Winterton.

We had a fantastic week at Ruby Gem. It is a pleasure to stay in a cottage which has everything that we and our dog needs! Ruby Gem is truly dog friendly! From the lovely welcome basket with cakes and preserves for the humans to dog biscuits and bowls for our four legged friends it has everything. The cottage is comfortable, well equipped, quiet and perfect for a peaceful break in Winterton. The garden is secure and we could confidently let our dog out unsupervised. The beach is a short walk away and is a perfect place to exercise dogs.

Ruby Gem is a lovely cottage in a perfect location. It is a couple of minutes walk from the stunning Winterton on Sea beach and sand dunes and miles of off lead walking for dogs. It is also next door but one to the Fisherman’s Return traditional village pub which is fabulously dog friendly with good food. The owners of Ruby Gem could not do more to provide humans and dogs with everything they need. The only thing we took with us for our 3 dogs was food. Fantastic welcome pack in the cottage of delicious homemade cakes, treats, bread, butter and freshly laid eggs - even homemade dog biscuits! We enjoyed every moment of our week and could not recommend Ruby Gem and East Rushton Cottages more. They truly welcome dogs and make everything easy and enjoyable for dogs and their owners. Highly recommend!

This was my second time staying at Ruby Gem and it is our favourite holiday home from home. It's in a perfect location for the beach and winterton amenities. In the house itself, I love the accommodations they make for dogs, including plenty of blankets to cover the furniture if your furry friend likes to sit with you. I also came away slightly heavier due to thee home made treats left for us. We will definitely be returning.

Ruby Gem is in a brilliant location, next door to a very nice pub and a couple of minutes from the beach. It had everything we needed for a great weekend, both for us and our dog. It was so nice not having to pack a dog crate or other dog bits and bobs. This is a real dog friendly cottage, not just dog tolerant, and having stayed in places which allow dogs but then turn out to have gardens that are not escape proof or do not allow dogs on sofas, this makes a huge difference.

We made a relatively late booking and found both East Ruston Cottages and the owners of Ruby Gem to be brilliant communicators, giving us everything we needed before, during and after our stay (the app is fabulous!).
We all enjoyed our stay, the dogs loved the cottage and are now trying to catch up on their rest after 6 days of beach walking :)
We recommend Ruby Gem.. and I've not mentioned the welcome pack including cakes and sweets and jam and honey and dog treats which we loved!

Very well equipped.

For over three decades we have been holidaying in self-catering cottages. Post covid, we have witnessed prices going ever upwards and standards going rapidly downwards. This culminated in a stay in early 2023 (another company) where there was nothing in the cottage at all, not even a pint of milk. It was soulless, unwelcoming and disappointing. We began to reconsider going anywhere again with companies that have been taken over by large organisations. Fast forward now to our stay at the absolutely wonderful RubyGem booked through Sue at East Ruston Cottages. I can say with all honesty it is the most welcome we have ever felt in any cottage anywhere. The owner, Penny, had put up a Happy Birthday banner and balloons and made the most delicious birthday cake. She'd made the most outstanding millionaire's shortbread in the history of baking. She should be on Bake off! The welcome pack was absolutely amazing; everything you could possibly need, and that included the dogs too. There was so much stuff for them, from treats to poo bags and everything in-between. They were in doggy heaven and we felt they were truly welcomed too. They definitely did not want to leave and neither did we. Thank you so much Penny & Chris for letting is stay in your beautiful, cosy cottage by the sea.

I've never stayed in a better cottage. The welcome package was out of this world and so generous! Dogs and people want for nothing and the location is perfect. The area is friendly and welcoming and we met so many lovely people. Five minutes from the dunes and beach which was great for the dogs who could run around while their staff watched the seals. The cottage is so handy for the local dog friendly pub whose Boozy Beef Pie was terrific and also for National Trust properties to inject a bit of culture into your break.

We loved our stay. A very last minute booking and we were so lucky!
Extremely dog welcoming with everything provided for their comfort and ours!
Lovely garden to play or relax in. Walk to the glorious beach. Seal spotting.
We didn’t stray far it had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The owner’s attention to detail and welcome pack were the best we’ve ever had!

Fantastic welcome pack on arrival. Owners sent a nice message before, during and after our stay so we were made to feel welcome. Well kept accommodation and excellent guest book. Short walk to everything local in Winterton plus lots of other places visited locally. The furthest we drove was 25 mins away and still so much we have not seen. Will definitely return.

What a wonderful dog friendly cottage. There was everything you would need for a comfortable stay and more, like the home baked cake, jam, honey and pickle and lots more. The village was beautiful and the beaches were great. We will definitely be back

Another amazing stay in Winterton and RubyGem cottage. It truly is a home from home with everything you could possibly need. The welcome pack is the best around with amazing homemade cakes (I need the recipes!) I can’t wait for my next visit….

We booked a last minute short break for over new year at Ruby Gem. The booking was all sorted quickly and easily, and we were delighted when we arrived. The cottage is clean and comfortable, with a small secure garden. The location is brilliant as you can get to the dunes and beach really quickly, so you don’t need to drive if you don’t want to. Penny had left a lovely welcome pack (our dog particularly loved the biscuits!) and was contactable should we need anything, which we didn’t as everything was so well prepared. The local chippy was great, Poppy’s in the village does excellent coffee and cakes. We would definitely recommend Ruby Gem and East Ruston Cottages!

We had another wonderful week at Ruby Gem, Penny and Chris couldn’t have been more thoughtful and helpful.
The cottage is very clean and well equipped with all anyone could want. The dogs were also very well catered for and loved the homemade biscuits left in a bag for each dog, also very thoughtful dog tags with the holiday address printed on them.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to any one.

A lovely week was had by all. Every little detail/comfort had been thought about for both humans and dogs in the cottage. The welcoming gifts were the best we have ever encountered. The cakes were most appreciated by the humans and the biscuits by Luke. I had to phone the owner the first night as electric cookers seem to haunt me and I was completely stumped as how to work this one, but she was more than happy to explain its workings. Thank you. We were lucky that the sun came out on a few days and were able to take advantage of the sun trap that is the back garden.

We throughly recommend Ruby Gem , it is ideally situated if you want a relaxing break from everyday life. The beach is a couple of minutes walk away and is great for walking the dogs as its very quiet. There are many other country walks in the area too right from the door. The house is very clean and homely with everything you want for a holiday. The goodies that were left for adults as wells the dogs was very much appreciated. Very clean and comfortable all round. A lovely little garden to sit in and fenced so the furries can't escape. The village has a couple of shops, pub, cafe, fish and chip shop and a cafe on the beach during the day.
If you want a holiday without using the car this house is ideal.
