Ensuite Master bedroom
Double bed in a well appointed room with plenty of hanging and storage space and a well fitted ensuite bath room with a bath and over bath shower.

Paddle staircase
They are steep and not ideal for those with mobility problems but easy to get up and down when you know how and handrails to help. They lead to a lovely balcony outside the bedroom, overlooking the main living area.

Upstairs bedroom
This room is in the beamed eaves (low beams) with twin beds which can also be a superking double, bedside cabinets, easy chair and canvas wardrobe. Small window level with the floor opens up with a view down into the gravelled area at the back of the barn.

ALL ABOUT THE OUTSIDE:

Rooster Barn is at the end of a private gravel drive and accessed through the wooden 7 bar gate with extra mesh backing to stop small dogs escaping. Park and shut the gate and you can safely let the dogs out into the enclosed garden.

Double doors from the living room open out onto a lovely south facing patio and a gravelled area. It is separated from but connected to the parking and large grass paddock area. The whole of the property is gated and well fenced around the perimeter with a combination of post and rail fencing with stock mesh (smaller at the bottom to stop very small dogs squeezing through), solid fence panels and a mix of fencing plus planting. At the lowest point it is approx 4ft. but solid.

Rooster Barn grounds are mature and include an attractive but robust planting of shrubs and hedge plants. The main garden is laid to lawn with plenty of space for your dogs to exercise in a safe and secure space.

Beautiful place to stay plenty of safe space for dogs to run around well equipped cottage. The only thing i would say been a barn is noise floor boards above the ground floor bed room and noise doors. Could do with changeing the double bed to a king size bed as I found the double to small .but very warm at rooster barn and comfortable

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.

Can’t fault anything - it’s like a home from home. Everything needed for dog and human is provided including a wonderful welcome hamper.

We booked a last minute short break and couldn’t believe how stunning the property is. Very large, secure garden (I have small dogs) which meant I could have them in the garden without worry about them escaping. The house itself is beautiful and huge effort has gone into making it perfect in every way. The large log fire was the icing on the cake with the chilly evenings drawing in. Many thanks for one of the best welcome packs ever which included lovely local produce. I can’t fault this property and hope to come back. First class from booking to checking out, East Ruston Cottages have got it spot on .

What a lovely property this is. We felt at home from the moment we arrived, until we left. Well equipped with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The welcome pack was very generous. And the dogs appreciated their treats too.

You really can not fault this Barn. There is everything you need plus a few things you didn’t know you did! The welcome goody packs for both humans and dogs are so good! You can drive in, shut the gate, and your hounds are totally secure. We found we got to the Mundersley beach quickly, but there are so many places to visit. All dog friendly. Blickling Hall, Felbrigg Hall and Morston Quay we recommend a visit.

East Ruston Cottages were very easy to deal with and they are truly dog welcoming. They provided all the necessary information in the lead up to the holiday. Rooster Barn is well placed in Trunch, and there were so many good walks from the house. The barn itself was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Liz was very communicative and left a wonderful array of human and dog treats. We had a lovely relaxing week and I would have no hesitation in recommending either Rooster Barn or East Ruston Cottages if you wish to visit North Norfolk

Rooster Barn is a gorgeous property and it was a holiday we were so looking forward to. Everything was provided that we had requested as we were bringing a dog with some mobility issues. Customer service was excellent. Loved the location of the property. Sadly after only one day one of our dogs became very poorly and we had to dash back home (6hrs away) and could only return to pack up and leave . Sue was so helpful and sympathetic, helpfully managed to rebook our second week which we were so grateful for. If you ever need a reason to book with East Ruston Cottages then our experience tells you why. Brilliant customer service together with amazing properties. We will be back!

After visiting last year for the first time (we re-booked within 2 days), it was great to return to Rooster Barn. The area is tranquil and has so much to offer, particularly as we have two young dogs who love to have off lead walks and sniffs. Everything you could want for a home from home. Great places to visit all within 10 miles or a 15 minute journey. Highly recommend.

Christmas at Rooster Barn. ….. magical! This was our 3rd visit this year, yes we are hooked. The barn is just stunning, a beautiful conversion with loads of exposed timbers. Cosy open living/dining space with a double sided wood burner and comfortable seating arrangements. All creature comforts are provided and our dogs love the barn and garden. Short distance to the coast for seaside walks and a lovely village pub. Have already booked 3 stays for next year… can’t wait!

The garden was very secure and the parking within the property was ideal. When you think you have taken everything you need on holiday BUT ALSO FIND IT AT THE PROPERTY, then you realise what a well thought out, well stocked property it is! It was the perfect size and layout. It had wonderful open access to a seating area at the side and a large enclosed lawn. We found a walk locally and the lane walks were quiet and safe. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Dogs were well provided for and having all facilities made such a difference, and I mean also a hosepipe as I have mud lovers in two of my dogs. Management is only an e mail away if there is an issue and they are positive and friendly. I loved our week there.

This was our second stay at Rooster Barn and our third holiday with East Ruston Cottages. Absolutely everything that we might need, or the dog was there, along with a delicious welcome pack for humans and dog alike. The enclosed garden with plenty of room to park the cars is fantastic. Very private and relaxed. The whole process from booking to departure is made easy and we were well informed. Sue is very good at answering any questions you may have. Would thoroughly recommend both Rooster Barn and East Ruston Cottages for a truly dog welcoming holiday experience!

We have stayed in this rental before and its excellent and well furnished. Situated off road in a little village called Trunch, locals are very friendly and there is a lovely Circular walk round Trunch which our dog loved. If you want a restful holiday this is the place and of course you just have to jump in your car and visit the beaches and towns nearby. The local pub The Crown is just up the road but we wouldn't recommend eating there as they only do pies and nothing else. The Vernon Arms is quite near although we didn't eat there this time but have eaten there a few years ago, but it is popular by the number of cars in the pub car park. Needless to say East Ruston Cottages are a good company to use and I would not hesitate recommending them.

Our 3rd stay at Rooster Barn with our dogs, and they love the space and comfort as do we. The barn is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, making it the most amazing cosy holiday home. The garden is a great space for essential zoomies and provides a marvellous evening environment for a glass of wine or two. Lunch/Dinner in the courtyard garden listening to birdsong ... idyllic to say the least. Happisburgh and the coast are a 15-minute drive away, Fellbrig Hall, Sheringham Park, Hillside Animal Rescue Centers and many more sites for touring around. A special mention for The Crown (Village Pub) for their amazing array of pies and mash concoctions, the Lighthouse Inn and last but certainly not least, The Fair Maiden Fish Shop in Happpisburgh. Kirsty runs a tight ship, and you can expect the most amazing fresh seafood! We will be back in December to celebrate Christmas at our favourite East Ruston Cottage.... can't wait.

What a gorgeous cottage! From the moment we arrived we loved it. We loved being able to park on the gravel in the garden and shut the gate - made getting the dogs out of the car SO much easier! And we knew that they would be safe in the garden - the description on the website is spot on. Inside is so charming and welcoming and easy to relax in. Loved the textured flooring - made it so much easier for our old boy to get around. The fire was wonderful - we almost wished it was colder so we could use it more! The kitchen was really, really well equipped - we even found a seafood eating kit!! Which is perfect as we discovered lots of places selling local fresh crab! When we did eat out there were so many dog friendly places nearby and we explored the beaches (loved Mundesley and Overstrand) and had two lovely walks in the grounds of Felbrigg Hall and Blickling Hall nearby. There was a lot of really useful information in the house, the digital guide that we were sent was really helpful too. Honestly we didn't want for anything. Even the welcome pack was well above what we expected with all sorts of goodies. Definitely will be coming back to this one and this fabulous part of the country. Don't think we have ever been anywhere SO truly dog welcoming!

This was our first visit to Norfolk and we were not disappointed, the area, beaches, walks etc were wonderful. As for Rooster Barn, it was second to none it is set at the end of a small unmade track, the garden is so private and extremely safe for our Houdini Border Terrier, he was able to play without us having to worry that he would escape. This was paramount to us as we could actually relax, other properties we've stayed in advertise an"enclosed garden"but more often than not there is a way out somewhere. East Ruston Cottages go to great lengths explaining in detail the real facilities available to dogs (and humans), so we knew it would be safe before we booked. The barn itself was lovely, quiet, very private spotlessly clean and very nicely presented. We wanted for nothing from practicalities (cooking, cleaning etc) to information(lots of it) of places to visit, eat,. You name it, they supplied it.. There was a lovely welcome pack with lots of goodies for humans and doggies... Unusually, they also supplied washing, dishwashing and cleaning products.. Brilliant Very sad to be home and we will certainly be back sometime. I don't think we will ever find another place or agency to beat this one.... Thank you ERC for this.. We felt like a guest rather than a customer.

What an amazing find Rooster barn is just perfect from the moment you close the gate behind you and let your fur babies out of your car you can relax the garden is a lovely size and so so safe which was so important to us ….when you enter the barn is like stepping into someone’s home it smells fresh and clean which considering most customers using the barn has dogs is quite an achievement! The kitchen is so well equipped which was lovely for me as I love to cook and it’s so frustrating when there is little or no equipment to do this….. our two dogs settled straight away they always loved to go off for the day but they were just as happy to return at the end of the day they were first at the front door waiting to go in for dinner then straight on there beds we never heard a peep out of them for the whole evening The barn is situated in a great location so close to everything so we didn’t need to travel to far national trust properties were all around 20 mins to half an hour away we used all three as the walks were just beautiful The Alby craft place which is just down the road from the barn was lovely for a quick lunch it’s an Artisan cafe which is extremely dog friendly watch out for the peacocks if your dog is reactive to our feathered friends as one of ours is !!!! Local trunch honey which is just across the road from the barn just follow the lane up a little highly recommend beautiful honey ❤️ I could go on and on …..the bottom line is I would recommend Rooster Barn 100% you will have an amazing time there …would we go back …… absolutely

A charming barn conversion with lots of character. Perfect location for beach and countryside. Good dining area and ample seating in the lounge area. Great flooring for dogs, non-slip and easy to keep clean. Excellent spacious bathroom and toilet facilities.well equipped kitchen and good choice of pots,pans and cookware. Really could do with a larger freezer. Only just managed to get in the raw dog food for 3 dogs. Great sized fridge though. Lots of cleaning products supplied so no need to take any. The weather was warm and summer weight duvets would’ve been more suitable. It was very hot upstairs, so glad I was in the downstairs bedroom! The steep paddle stairs are a bit of a challenge especially if you need the loo in the night which is downstairs. The floor upstairs is very creaky as one would expect for a property of this type but it could disturb those in the bedroom underneath. Garden was a very good size. Not overlooked at all. Some noise from neighbours dogs occasionally but that’s to be expected given the location (and the property description does highlight the possibility) The wooden 7 bar gate cannot be locked so anyone can open it and enter the garden as I found out when two people appeared at the kitchen door! After this happened I tied the gate up but a chain and lock would be ideal. I’ve tried to be frank and honest about the property, I have booked another week here next year and would recommend it to my friends giving them the above information. I think all holiday properties realistically have good and some not so good points. It depends on personal taste and requirements.

Another perfect stay and time spent at our favourite ECR property. Rooster Barn does not disappoint and we find that every repeat visit just makes us love the barn even more. The interior is cosy and welcoming, beautifully furnished with comfy furniture, a well-stocked kitchen and lovely details throughout the property. The outside space is perfect for dogs and our 2 love the space and being able to run around. The coast is not far and there are plenty of footpaths near the property. Going back again next month and we cannot wait! Our perfect holiday space ...
