A perfect location for relaxing and enjoying the dunes and beaches for humans and dogs. Very impressed with cleanliness, appearance, warmth with a well equipped kitchen. Welcoming for pawrents and dogs with wonderful treats on arrival. Has plenty of equipment and accessories for dogs if you forget anything making it very easy. Our best getaway yet with the dogs and we would be planning to return. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at Hidden Gem. Lovely welcome goodies and we felt at home straight away. Unloaded the car and went straight out the back door, over the dunes and onto the beach! The owners have thought of everything. It’s a lovely place to stay, with easy walking distance to the beach, shop, post office, tea shop and there’s a cafe on the beach too. There’s games when the weather is not so nice. Definitely want to go back. I think my dog had the best holiday ever.

A lovely comfortable cottage in quiet location but walking distance of dog friendly pub and a great fish and chip shop ( we were able to order online no queuing). Great to be able to walk out of the back door straight on to the dunes, the dogs loved it. Loads of different walks from the door. Hope to return next year

A stunning cottage with home comforts in every room. We walked in and felt very welcome and comfortable straight away. Our dogs had just the best time, they were able to be in all rooms with us and aLao able to walk out straight on to the dunes from the back door. The owners of the cottage know how to set up a very beautiful cottage for others to share.

Everything had been thought of in providing for the dogs Saved us the packing worry Even the frozen raw food we ordered was packed in the freezer for our arrival The welcome basket including birthday cake was a lovely touch and the dogs appreciated their toys and treats Winterton is a charming old fashioned village and super dog friendly We walked out of the back door and onto the dunes Spoilt for choice with walks and we loved watching the seals watching us Would highly recommend this property and East Ruston Cottages for their quality level of service Very happy

We spent a very relaxing few days at Hidden Gem in early August. Laura, Pete & Bella were very welcoming, especially to our two dogs. The treat baskets for the adults and hounds went down very well! Being able to go to the beach in a matter of minutes and eat in the lovely seafront cafe was great. We also found the guest books helpful in getting recommendations for places to visit. We will be back.

Wonderfully comfortable cottage for our two dogs and us two humans. The owners really have thought of everything that we might need and we were greeted by an amazing basket of goodies for us, and treats for the dogs. The dunes really are at the back door with easy access to the beach - even though we had to stop dune and beach walks as our two very young rescue lurchers were beside themselves with excitement and became pretty much uncontrollable on the lead!! The courtyard garden is very attractive and comfortable. We did have to accompany the dogs every second in the courtyard as one of them can easily scale/jump the high fences from a standing start. She is like a cat. We were glad of the fans provided in the bedrooms as this fearless scamp could push open the windows to jump out so they had to be kept cracked open only.

This was a fantastic location. We loved it. Our pups loved it. To be able to walk out of your back door to the beach was the best. There was nothing the hosts hadn’t thought of and the welcome basket for us and the dogs was a perfect welcome. The cottage is comfortable with plenty of room and nice views. Would highly recommend to anyone.

On our third visit to this glorious setting, the perfect weather, wonderfully comfortable new sofas and a fabulously chocolatey surprise 60th birthday cake made this celebration week a holiday to remember! We love walking over the dunes straight from the back door to this picturesque dog friendly beach. We didn't want to go home and we're already planning to book for our 4th visit very soon.

We have just returned from a really lovely week at Hidden Gem with our two tired but happy dogs. We arrived to find not one but two welcome packs-one for humans and one for the dogs which was such a lovely touch. The cottage itself is set up with everything you can think of to make your furry friends comfortable-beds, towels, throws. treats, doggy bags, a first aid kit, tags with the name of the cottage on them, you name it. They also thought of the human visitors too-we were amazed by how everything seemed to have been thought of and especially really appreciated the beach kit, including an umbrella and wind break. Best of all though is the amazing location-the back door leads directly onto the dunes, which are absolutely stunning, and just a few minutes walk from the very gorgeous beach. We saw deer outside the kitchen window most days and you could also stand there for hours just watching all of the different birds. We were extremely lucky with the weather which was glorious for most of the week and meant we could have a couple of beach days which we all loved, take some lovely walks and we also spent a half day on the Broads which was so relaxing and peaceful. The village itself has a very dog friendly pub and we also visited several other really lovely pubs locally for evening meals. The fish and chip shop is also very good, as is Poppy's tea room and the shop is very useful to have close by. We were all really sad to leave, after having the most relaxing break, and we are now very keen to come back to this beautiful part of the world. The customer service from Sue and Laura was also top notch and I would definitely use East Ruston Cottages for breaks with the dogs again.

Great and rekaxung, cottage very well equipped and well thought out. Lots of information and lovely friendly people

Just back from a wonderful week at Hidden Gem. On arrival, the house was spotless and beautifully presented. Absolutely everything needed was provided and more. The welcome hamper for both the humans and the dogs was fabulous! Walking out from the kitchen door over the dunes to the beach was just the best and we spent many hours doing just that. Highly recommended The Edge, the airstream cafe at the beach. Great coffee and great food! Such a lovely place for some true rest and relaxation...the sound of nothing but the sea whilst dropping off to sleep can't be beaten! I would certainly recommend Hidden Gem and definitely hope to return before long!

We have just a spent a week here and can honestly say it’s been the best holiday with our dog we have had. This truly is a dog friendly property. The welcome pack for both human and dog is a lovely touch. During our stay we explored places in the car but there is so much to do straight from the doorstep. We will definitely be returning.

We're just back from a relaxing week at Hidden Gem. The location is perfect, the beach is 10 minutes gentle stroll across the Dunes. The village shop Has an Amazon pickup 'locker' perfect for those forgotten items (dog toothpaste). The cafe in the village Post Office is very popular and the food was excellent. We dined once at the village pub and in two local 'Lions', Somerton and Thurne, both a short drive away. Everywhere was amazingly dog welcoming as was the cottage. We were sorry that the Airstreams in the beach car park were not open when we tried to have lunch there. I guess autumn opening hours had kicked in although it was still lovely and warm in early October. Throws and towels for the dogs no "no dogs allowed on the furniture" policies here. A welcome pack for the dogs with toys and hand made biscuits and goodies for us as well. The cottage was warm and welcoming, comfy sofas and beds for everyone and everything you might need in the kitchen though as a matter of policy and to ensure marital harmony I do refuse to cook on holiday! The owners were responsive to a couple of minor niggles when we first arrived and very understanding when our dog decided that one of the door stops was in fact a dog toy!

Our 2nd visit to this lovely, well-equipped home from home. Hidden Gem has everything for a truly relaxing, tranquil holiday. Superb location ✅Perfect walks from the door✅Comfortable✅Spacious✅Well-equipped✅Super dog-friendly✅Great owners✅ We've walked for miles along the glorious beaches in beautiful weather with our golden retriever and can't wait to return in 2023. Already booked

Really enjoyed our week. The dogs were in doggy heaven, everything that we needed was there and thought of in advance. Excellent customer service from East Ruston cottages and the friendly owners.
