ERC as a company are fantastic, their attention to detail in their listings, their booking and even an app for that specific properties details. It's like nothing I've come across in all my years of booking UK breaks.
The cottage - fantastic - that sums it up.
Absolutely nothing we could find fault with to be honest. It had comfy sofas, bed was decent, well equipped kitchen and the WiFi was perfect (a rare treat!)
The welcome hamper of yummy stuff was a lovely unexpected addition, with all Norfolk based goodies inside (including for the dog)
As for the dog friendliness - 5 Paws!
The garden was plenty secure enough for our dog (she's not a jumper so the lower fence/gate at the end wasn't a problem) meaning we didn't have to worry about putting a lead on for toilet breaks or having to keep the door closed.
Dogs allowed throughout meant we could truly relax without having to follow silly rules that you only find out about when you get there.
Supplying sofa throws (and letting us know in advance) meant we could bring less stuff. There were plenty of bowls, poo bags and even beds, blankets and crates provided should you need them.
Location - if you want easy walking access for shops etc, you are out of luck but what you do get is a lovely quiet village with a decent pub (food) and nice locals and just 8-10 minutes drive down the road you get to Mundesley where the beach is great, there's a few local amenities and a fab bakery. Within half hour drive, there are soooo many dog friendly places to visit, it is so well placed. National Trust sites, beaches galore, seals to see and plenty of other things to do.
We will absolutely be looking to book with ERC and very likely 1 Paynes Cottage in future!
