About this property
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.

A week away with dogs out walking as well as getting a nervous dog to mix outside
Brig Cottage was clean and very well equipped for us, the wide sandy beach was a short walk away. The dogs enjoyed being on the sand. The only downside for us was that we were not told the attached cottage was being gutted and renovated so we had tue noise of drills and hammering which set our nervous dog off. Others may not have this problem.
Overall a good break away in great cottage.

Great place to stay for a beach and Broads holiday with your dog
Cottage had everything we needed for our stay with a super safe garden for our small dog . So good to stay somewhere dogs are really welcome , towels, bowls and even a packet of treats supplied for them . A tasty welcome pack for us too . The cottage is a few minutes walk from a sandy beach . The Broads are a within a short drive with lots of nature walks .

Brig Cottage
The cottage is immaculate, very comfortable and so well equipped. It was warm and cosy in those cold April mornings, and then the garden room was a lovely sun trap in the afternoons. We had a thoroughly relaxing stay, making use of the plentiful games cupboard on one rainy afternoon, and then some lovely walks with the dog on the quiet beach when the sun came out. The local bakery and fish & chips shop certainly lived up to previous guests reviews! We would love to return in the not too distant future.

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.

Dog friendly cottage
We really enjoyed our time in Brig cottage. It was very dog friendly and welcoming, unfortunately it rained for the first two days but we still made the most of it.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 Aug, 2023
Thank you so much for taking the time to review and we are delighted you had a good time at such a cosy and well equipped cottage. We are sorry you didn't consider it very good value for money. We checked the price paid and just over £700 for a sleeps 4 property at a peak time of year in a village where you can walk to the beach as well as enjoy the dog friendly pub, cafe and shops would normally be considered pretty good value for money but I do appreciate that this can be subjective.

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.

Hello and thank you so much for the feedback and I am glad you liked the location of Brig Cottage. So many of our other cottages do allow dogs upstairs and either have easier stairs than Brig (being an older property it does have the traditional steep stairs) or else we have several all on one level too! We would be delighted to have you back at any one of them - and do remember to use the repeat discount too as a returning guest :) Sue
