Could Summer be here?! 😂

If it is, it might be the ideal time to have a look at our gorgeous Fenside - one recent guests has said "We had a lovely family break, the photos of the outside terrace area don't do it justice. We were there in ideal weather to use the garden and were able to eat every single meal outside. "

The gardens at Fenside really do need to be seen to be believed AND it has direct access river access to Barton Broad (gated access for safety of kids & dogs).

Have you had a nosey at Fenside yet?? There's still October availability!

I know, I know, I shouldn't be mentioning the C word when most people are still clinging on to the hope of an actual summer BUT....if your summer holiday has been a wash out, why not have a Christmas holiday instead?

A lot of our smaller properties have already been booked out, but if you fancy a family getaway, there's more choice!

Have you ever got away for Christmas before? How did you find it?

Thanks to the magic of AI for turning Seaview Cottage festive 😂😂🎄

Reviews mean a lot to us! It really gives us an insight to what our guests love, but it gives other guests an idea of what to expect too! This fab one of Redroofs says it all!

"We felt very welcome in this house. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. The garden was amazing, our dogs were very spoilt. We had 5 adults and 2 dogs in the house and all had our own space.

We used the fab bbq nearly every day. The broad is just across the road. You see so many different birds and boats going by. The village is lovely and you are in easy reach of boat yards and the coast. Also you can walk to two pubs!"

INTERNATIONAL DOG DAY!

What a fantastic international day to have! Let's celebrate with pictures of your dogs and where they came from! 🥰

I'll start with my funny little duo. Ernie, a sweet and friendly rescue from Romania and Mabel, a Border Terrier who had to come away from her breeding and showing home as she was falling out with the other bi***es. She's a proper little scruffer, loves getting sandy, wet and muddy and loves us SO much! 🥰(the feeling is mutual!)

Lets talk loo roll.

Do you bring your own on holiday anyway? Do you like to have at least 2 rolls or more provided? Do you want a bit of luxury with 3 ply or just happy to have whatever is available other than tracing paper!?

Do you have seasonal bed linen? Like florals for summer and darker colours for winter? Is a white duvet cover your worst nightmare in winter?

I've got bed linen envy at Jacks Shack!

So now we can reveal where Villager Jim chose to stay!! Nobody really knows who he is so to keep that secret we didn't reveal where he was staying... but now he has gone home (after sharing some of his gorgeous wildlife photos taken locally) we can reveal he chose to stay at ....... Boundary Lodge!! 🤩

The really secure, well enclosed garden was maybe part of the reason? The very quiet rural location another? Possibly the fact that it is a very short drive to Hickling, part of the stunning quiet Norfolk Broads and not one but 2 dog welcoming pubs!? Sea Palling beach is a short drive away and Horsey too - famous for its seals... and he took some fabulous photos of them!

We really hope he had a truly relaxing time to get over the loss of his dog..M and spend time with his other dog..B.

Summer....what is the correct answer...

A) It's been and gone
B ) I hasn't even arrived yet
C) It's biding it's time to pounce when least expected, probably when we are dusting off our winter clothes.

CLOSING THE POST NOW AND WILL COUNT UP OVER THE WEEKEND AND LET EVERYONE KNOW WHO WILL BE GETTING A PART OF THE POT!

Thank you so much to you all - there are an amazing amount of supporters of charities and rescues out there, you are all wonderful!

It's that time again! 🤩 You know we have always LOVED supporting rescues and dog charities so if you have done this before, Get Ready, On Your Marks, Get Set, Go!!

If you are new to this, this is what happens! We put together a Charity Pot that we want to share out and donate to various rescues. We choose 4 rescues - 2 that get the most nominations from our followers and 2 that one of our lovely owners will choose from all the other nominations. It's our way of giving back.

There is £300 for each pot - £1200 in all and there is a page on the website about all the rescues and charities we have supported in the past. Get nominating and get sharing! We will end it on Friday at 7pm! https://www.eastrustoncottages.co.uk/charities-we-support/ 🥰

Just a little seaside sunrise to start your day. 🥰🌅

Are you an early riser on holiday? Or prefer to get some much needed lie ins? Do your dogs sleep better or are they keen to get up and out to explore all the new sniffs?

The evenings are getting shorter but more stunning 🥰 The sea is calm, the beach is quiet and the temperature is still good. Coming up to September soon, our favourite Norfolk month. 🤩
