Cottage vacation rentals in East Ruston

The family had a lovely break here, a short drive from Norwich Showground where we attended an event but far enough away for peace and quiet… lovely walks… excellent pub Kings Arms local for dinner. Everything needed was in the lodge including a very appreciated ‘welcome pack’ to start us off on arrival. Highly recommend and hope to return again.

We had a wonderful stay at this amazing little cottage set on a working farm. The views across the fields were absolutely stunning—truly a breath of fresh air. It was the ideal place to unwind and disconnect. Mary and her team were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. They even offered us a later checkout, which was such a kind gesture (though we sadly had to decline as we were eager to get home to see our son). The hot tub was a fantastic bonus, perfect for relaxing after a peaceful day. And the complimentary bottle of wine, A lovely touch—it went down very well! The nearby village of East Harling is just a 30-minute walk away and has everything you need for a quiet retreat—whether it’s grabbing some basic groceries or enjoying a drink at one of the friendly local pubs. It’s great not having to rely on the car at all. We would highly recommend this cottage to any couple looking for a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. We’ll definitely be back.

We enjoyed our stay at Lesleys place. Very near to the sea and close to all beeches we wanted to visit. The cottage had everything we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed the jaccuzzi. The cottage is dog friendly and had all things our 4 month old Labrador puppy needed.

Beautiful cottage in a wonderful little town full of things to do and see (and the beach is not far away). The cottage is really well-appointed and full of cool things. The hot-tub was also a complete luxury!

Russell cottage was a lovely place to relax in and a great base to explore the Norfolk coast. Worked well for our family with a nice outside space which was totally private. The hot tub was lovely and clean, great for relaxing in after a day on a windy Norfolk beach.

We went for our friend’s birthday and had a wonderful time. The hot tub and Sauna was just lovely and very relaxing. Lovely cottage perfect for 4 people. The host was very responsive and recommended a fabulous restaurant nearby. I would advise to come to Diss by car as the cab service was not great so had difficulty getting about. You have to book cabs in advance. Overall it was Great weekend

Pips Cottage was a lovely quaint place, based in a location that opened up lots of other opportunities to get out and about around Suffolk. Ringsfield itself is a sleepy place, with just a pub for leisure time. The cottage was perfect for what we wanted, quiet, but accessible enough to other areas. The cottage is lovely and cosy and had everything you needed for a few days away. Would highly recommend.

Highly recommend for a peaceful break. Watching the stars in the hot tub with an owl flying over was particularly magical.

We always stay here when visiting north Norfolk. Love little cottage with everything you need.

We had a lovely few days at Betsey Trotwood, the bed was so comfy we slept really well. The accommodation was perfect, and Bella our dog enjoyed the back courtyard. The information folder which Matt and Michaela had put together was very useful, it helped us to decide where to visit, plenty of very nice pubs which served high standard food close by.

As far as we are concerned Caralyn's Airbnb is faultless. It was both everything described and everything we wanted. The dog love it too!

We’ve just returned from a week in Thyme Cottage and have had an excellent time! We were a family with a dog and found the enclosed garden a bonus. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes / utensils and we were able to cook a full Sunday dinner and also able to prepare meals throughout the week. The washing machine and dishwasher also came in handy. The property is well placed in a lovely village with plenty of walks for our dog from the property. The property is well situated for Norwich City centre and also a choice of supermarkets with only a 10-15min drive away. UEA is also only around 25mins away. Thank you so much for a great stay. We would recommend this property.

Had a lovely stay. Great location - walkable to two pubs and boat hire. We hired paddle boards and a canoe and had a lovely paddle down the river. House was good size for 4 adults. We prefer our mattresses firm so the beds were a little soft for us. Lovely garden with BBQ - Rosy was great at sorting us a replacement quickly when the existing one had broken. Great host, would recommend

A lovely little place for a weekend away. Very clear instructions and hosts were quick to respond.

Fabulous cottage in a lovely sedate setting. Perfect for short breaks near the sea. Paul provided lots of valuable information on the local area which was really useful. Would happily return and recommend Paul as a host. Thank you!

Thank you so much for providing such fabulous accommodation for me and my little dog. Your welcoming goodies were very thoughtful. The property was spotless. The location was excellent for exploring North Norfolk. We had a very relaxing time. I will definitely book again.

Graham was awesome! Very helpful and always on the message with quick responses if we had any questions, lovely place- nice and quiet but lots of fun in the pool. Was perfect for a lads golfing trip!

A beautiful cottage in a private, pretty and quiet area, but walkable to a very good pub with great food and the is beach very close too. The cottage was perfect and had everything you needed plus Victoria and Bertie were very good hosts. The cottage is a great base to get to all the pretty costal towns, and in a quiet setting.

Beautiful peaceful place to stay. Everything you want is walkable and the view is absolutely incredible. Did not want to leave

This was our first time in Norfolk and also our first time using airbnb. We were not disappointed. Our Hosts Val and Andy were very attentive if needed, very helpful and friendly couple. We were relatively self sufficient with our stay at Jay's Hatch but this was mainly because our hosts had thought of everything, left clear instructions and we hadn't the need to ask many questions. Jay's Hatch is a beautiful little cottage surrounded by stunning rural views and still only a short drive to the beach. The garden is huge and was perfect for our small dog to run around in. It has a perimeter fence too so no fear of the dog escaping. Fantastic place, highly recommended Simon and Mandy

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. It was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The communication prior to our stay was great and also received photos to help us find the cottage on the day which was very helpful. The peaceful surroundings made for a relaxing break and we managed to make the most of the area despite the weather. Hope to book again in the future to explore more, thank you!

We had a special few days in North Norfolk and made some lovely family memories - including a day on the beach and a walk to Cromer, with a cosy fire at the end of the day. The walk across the fields back from the pub as the sunset was very pretty.

Great place to stay with two families. Perfect little retreat and a beautiful garden. Very peaceful

Thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay in Grove Stables. The accommodation is comfortable and stylishly decorated and was well equipped with everything spotlessly clean. It is in a peaceful location with easy parking. Sally and David were friendly hosts and we found their directions and useful tourist information very helpful. We also appreciated all the treats they kindly left for us. Wi-Fi and mobile coverage was good for us and we were able to watch Freeview on the TV. There is lots to do in the area: we had a boat trip on The Broads, visited several villages along the coast and used the Park & Ride into Norwich. We certainly recommend Grove Stables.
