Summary: We loved our time here but I probably wouldn’t say it was suitable for reactive dogs. There are dogs at the property next door which bark at the fence, meaning we kept having to call our dogs in. This won’t be an issue if your dogs don’t mind that. The fruit & juice we were given at the start of our stay was lovely.

Summary: From the moment we got through the door, it was clear that dogs are VERY welcome at The Lodge in East Ruston. From the gorgeous throws piled up to use on the sofas if your dog isn’t a fan of lounging on the floor, to the luxurious dog beds for them if they are, it was a very warm welcome. There was a lovely welcome pack for us, full of fresh produce, as well as a welcome pack for Sadie. Sadie didn’t just receive a couple of treats, there was a whole jar of them at her disposal, plus dog towels, luxury beds, soft throws, multiple dog bowls to choose from (it was as if they already knew our fussy diva!). It didn’t stop there though. Outside in the shed, we also found two large dog crates at our disposal, and some toys which delighted our girl. Our dog is very much a member of our family, so to welcome her so heartily with open arms immediately gave us the same feeling. The lodge itself was spotlessly clean, with everything you could possibly need, provided for. They had even thought of people with disabilities, with a ramp alternative to the steps outside, wide door ways, rounded corners to the kitchen units, and a wonderful shower wet room with optional shower seat. This lodge went above and beyond on the welcome front, and it was so appreciated. Thank you!

Summary: Another perfect holiday, my rescue loves the lodge and the big garden. The wet room is amazing as I’m disabled and struggle in normal showers and bathrooms. There’s everything you could wish for and more , everything is about the dogs . Already booked again this year and next year. Sue and her team go the extra mile to make everything perfect.

Summary: The Lodge is the perfect place for a couple and their pooch to relax and unwind. It has everything you could need including the most comfy bed and excellent walks along Weavers Way from your doorstep. We had been before and it was the only place we have found where our dog truly relaxed. However Jake is terrified of firework/gunshot type bangs and we have learned spring is not a good time to visit for us despite Sue’s excellent support and intervention. We will hopefully be returning but not in Spring.

Summary: I stayed in the lodge with my wife and dog. It was ideally situated for us with a reactive dog as it was very quiet and surrounded by countryside. The Lodge was very clean and had everything provided for a comfortable stay. The extra touches were very much appreciated. There were dog bowls, towels, toys and biscuits. Also fresh eggs, butter, cheese, milk, bread. Toilet rolls etc. the garden area is perfect. The only downside was the settee isn’t particularly comfortable and the tv sound not great. These didn’t affect us thoroughly enjoying our stay and would definitely recommend it.

Summary: Another wonderful holiday at the lodge, we love the wet room , I find it great and easy to use with my health issues. The dogs love the garden and the great walks from the Lodge. Weavers way especially. We have already booked and are counting down the days until the next visit. Thank you for a wonderful week .

Summary: Easy to book, great location for us, lovely lodge, very well equipped, clean and tidy. Only downside was the sofa was so terribly uncomfortable, the leather seats do not stay on the base. Also light on patio and outside entrance do not work. However, we had a lovely break and would return as we really enjoyed the area and the cottage was great for a short stay with our dog, so thank you.

Summary: We contacted East Ruston cottages to ask which properties might be suitable for us and from that very first email, they were so helpful. We settled on 'the lodge', which was a perfect property for the two of us and 3 cocker spaniels. It had a secure garden, very private and ideal for the dogs. Inside was very comfortable with everything you could need ,and more besides. The dogs were provided with beds, bowls, treats,and throws to cover the sofa should they wish to sit with us...and they did! Everything about the property is very geared up for dogs, it welcomes dogs with open arms, which is pretty unique when you have more than one or two dogs. We enjoyed long walks in the local lanes and the beach was 4 miles away,a few minutes by car. All on all, highly recommended.

Summary: Our third stay & only 283 days to our next stay, that says so much. Whilst it’s not a chocolate box thatched cottage, it is a warm, cosy bolt home from the endless necessity of self employment .. everything you need is here, short drive to amazing beaches, or a walk almost from the doorstep. The dogs & myself love our stay at the lodge

Summary: Lovely dwelling with very good size garden. Well maintained. Only grumble was TV could be upgraded to a smart TV.
