Brig Cottage | East Ruston Cottages. Scratby, Norfolk

The seaside village location, 600m away from the beach means that it is perfect for a dog welcoming Norfolk break. Easy access to the huge beach with a village pub, tea room, takeaway, bakery and shop. Plenty of choices on your doorstep!



ALL ABOUT THE INSIDE
Enter into the hallway: A really good size and welcoming hallway with a cupboard exclusively for dogs accessories and plenty of room for boots and shoes too. A pine unit is great for more storage and has a choice of local leaflets and guides for you. Just off this is the …..
Kitchen: A beautifully styled galley kitchen, with wooden worktop and very well fitted out with plenty of crockery and cutlery. Fitted oven plus an electric hob, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, and a fridge all fitted in. There is an additional fridge/freezer in the outside shed with a good amount of space in both.
Also just off the hall is the ….
Shower room. Fully tiled and fitted, with shower, toilet and heated towel rail.
Open plan living/dining area The two sofas provide plenty of seating in this bright and airy room. There is a TV with access to Netflix, Prime etc or switch it off and enjoy the good selection of games. The seaside theme here is really lovely with lots of homely touches and seaside photos. The dining table seats 6 very comfortably and the floor is solid all the way through. All restful colours and lots of light. Perfect to come home to after a day on the beach!
Conservatory with views and doors opening onto the rear south facing garden. Sit on the leather sofa here and there are a pair of traditional grandfather chairs to relax in too.
Upstairs: There is a door that opens up to the stairs from the living area – traditional cottage style so steep and with a 45 degree turn but they are carpeted and have a hand rail to make getting up and down them easier. These lead to a hall way with a dressing table and views to the rear garden as well as access to the bedrooms.
Double bedroom: There is a King size bed in this lovely light room with plenty of storage space, hooks for hanging, a full length mirror and carpeted floor.
Twin bedroom: In here there are two single beds with wooden frames and brand new memory foam mattresses, hanging space, bedside tables and lamps.
Upstairs Bathroom and shower room. Modern and very well fitted bath and shower cubicle with toilet and sink.

ALL ABOUT THE OUTSIDE
The fully enclosed garden has a good size decking area with garden furniture and a secure garden shed for guest use. This contains the BBQ and a freezer (ideal for raw dog feeders – don't forget you can order your raw dog food from our recommended local suppliers with free delivery here). There is also a travel cot, high chair and dog crates (if needed) and the shed provides great storage for any seaside equipment. There is also an outside boiler room ideal for drying wet suits and beach gear, wet dog towels too.
Boundary: There are 5ft+ high solid fences to one side and the back. Along the other side is a tall evergreen hedge with mesh bedded within it to stop small dogs getting through.
You can relax knowing you are not overlooked anywhere in the garden.
Parking: There is room for one car right in front of the cottage, off road and another can be parked very nearby in the off road pull in area.

WILL IT SUIT YOUR DOGS?
If your dog is happy with a small amount of surrounding residential noise (and there aren't a lot as the cottage has very thick walls and is set back from the road) then they should be fine. There are no dogs or people that can be seen from the cottage or garden. You will find other dogs being walked along Beach Road. The courtyard garden isn't huge but it is very secure. Once on the beach dogs are allowed off lead year round.

Lovely Stay At Brig Cottage, Scratby

We enjoyed our stay at the very comfortable Brig Cottage, Scratby. The cottage is a short walk from a wide, sandy beach with great walks in both directions. The bedrooms are very comfortable and the cottage well equipped for a self-catering stay. Lots to do and see in the area e.g. National Trust properties, Cromer, Sheringham, Horsey Gap, Redwings Horse Sanctuary. Plenty of places at which to eat and drink. Great value and highly recommended.

Perfect winter location

Brig Cottage is warm, comfortable and very dog friendly. It is a 10 minute walk to a beautiful sandy beach which was great for the dogs. The beds were comfortable, kitchen well appointed and powerful shower with plenty of hot water. No complaints from us at all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brig Cottage.

Third visit to Brig

Even better than the first two visits as the bed and sofas had been upgraded. Brig is a real home from home, a lovely comfortable cottage to spend a week. Walking distance to lovely beach as well as a few eateries. Thanks Jane for another super stay.

Brig Cottage

We loved our stay here. First of all, the cottage is spacious! We came with our 2 German Shepherd dogs and there was plenty of room to move around. The garden was lovely to sit in and enjoy a glass of wine in the evening sunshine. Highly recommend the bakery down the road. The beach is super close which makes for some lovely walks, we visited good old Yarmouth only a short drive away and also Winterton-on-sea which is super pretty. We loved Brigg cottage and would stay again!

Perfect accommodation everything spotless. The garden was perfect and secure lovely to sit and relax

The best dog friendly accommodation we have ever stayed in. Spotlessly clean with a well equipped kitchen. Throws and crate provided and my four dogs loved the garden and I knew even my beagles could not escape. Beds and linen high quality I have nothing but praise.

A few days away with my dog while my bathroom was being upgraded.

The cottage was clean, cosy and very well equipped. A dedicated dog cupboard had treats, bowls, towels, bedding and spare leads. The beach was a short walk away and stretched for miles. Fantastic bakery just down the road. The venetian gardens in Yarmouth are worth a visit, and the dunes behind them are great for a dog walk. Fish and chips from Monty's in Hemsby were fantastic.

A last minute break

Comfortable, well equipped cottage in a good location for some lovely beaches. The property is tastefully decorated and furnished. We found it very comfortable. The conservatory was a lovely place to have a cuppa and read when the weather didn't allow us to use the lovely court yard garden.

Great stay, home from home with our teenage daughter and 2 greyhounds.

Great location for beach walks and days out. Lovely bakery at end of road and lots of options for eating out and day visits. Recommend Broads boat hire as a day out. Smoke house and whites are good for dining.Lovely clean property full of character , with lovely welcome pack.Great for dog owners. Bumped into the owners when collecting the car, lovely people.

Lovely cottage. Very clean. Everything catered for. Close to beach. Easy parking. The only thing is you have to have leads in to get dogs in and out of the car as parking is out the Front.

A short break with the dogs

What a delightful cottage. As an original fisherman's cottage of bygone years you would expect some quirky features such as the winding stairs and the low doorways but it all added to its charm. It was spotless, bright and well looked after. It felt immediately comfortable with our two dogs settling nicely. The beautiful beach is a 5 min walk. We'll definitely want to stay at Brig Cottage again. Thank you to Jane the owner and ERC for delivering excellent service.

Pretty cottage in a great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Brig Cottage. Being able to take a short walk to the beach was a real treat. Our every need was provided for as we have come to expect from ERC. Although they didn't bother us, the only slight downsides were that the dog wasn't allowed upstairs and getting ourselves up the stairs was a bit of a challenge.

Gorgeous dog friendly cottage

This was actually our second stay, having stayed in May. The cottage is a short walk away from the beach, but even though we'd booked in half term/Jubilee weekend there was still plenty of space to enjoy the fantastic beach. The cottage ticks all the boxes - enclosed garden, offstreet parking, bath & shower, washing machine etc. Enjoyed the cafes & pubs within walking distance and also within a short drive. The owners are lovely (as is the owner of East Ruston Cottages) and we felt very welcome during our two stays.

Lovely cozy cottage

What a clean cozy comfortable cottage. The position was great , only a ten minute walk to miles and miles of glorious beach. Jane the owner has made lots of thoughtful touches for the dogs and the humans. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in this area. The only downside was the dishwasher wasn’t working so we were asked not to use it which meant a lot of time spent washing up!

Beautiful November break

We had a fabulous time at Brig Cottage. The location is fantastic for beach walks with the hounds. There’s a friendly bakery at the end of the road which is handy for picnics and a walk along the beach to The California Tavern is ideal for a dog friendly meal out. The communication throughout from East Ruston Cottages could not have been better and there is a strong sense of them wanting you and your canine friends to have the best time. Well done Jane. We will certainly book again.
