Ruby Gem by East Ruston Cottages, Winterton

ALL ABOUT THE INSIDE:

Entrance
Entrance through the front door with a single step up into the hallway, where there are coat hooks on the wall and a tray for sandy shoes underneath. From the hall you can access the kitchen, bathroom and the rest of cottage.

Kitchen
The kitchen is very well equipped with electric oven and hob, dishwasher, washing machine, undercounter fridge and freezer. On the work tops you will find bread bin, toaster, kettle percolator and microwave. In the cupboards are plenty of pans, pizza trays, roasting tins and of course all the cutlery and crockery.

Bathroom
In our fully refurbished bathroom you can choose to relax in the bath or if you prefer have a shower, and naturally there is the usual handbasin and toilet.

Open plan living/dining area
The corner sofa unit fits very comfortably in this bright and airy room. 42” Sky tv to enjoy and a brand new woodburner for cooler nights. The seaside theme continues through here with lots of lovely and homely touches. The dining table seats 4 comfortably and the floor is tiled all the way through. All restful colours and lots of light. Perfect to come home to after a day on the beach! The open plan stairs are a real feature of this room, have a hand rail on the wall side and lead up to the bedrooms. A stair gate is attached to the bottom of the stairs.

Double bedroom
King size bed in this lovely light room with plenty of storage space, full length mirror and a wooden floor. A blackout blind and curtains will keep out the early morning sun if you want to have a lie in.

Twin bedroom
Two single beds with memory foam mattresses, a wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside tables make this a cosy and comfortable room. There are also a blackout blind and curtains will keep out the early morning sun for those who like a lie in.

ALL ABOUT THE OUTSIDE:

There is off road parking for two cars in front of the cottage. A slightly sloping path leads down to the gate and then through to the garden and front door. The fully enclosed garden has plenty of space, with a range of garden furniture. The garden itself is surrounded by 5ft high solid fences to the sides and back, overlooking the back of the friendly Fishermans Return. The large ‘Dog House' shed contains nearly all the extras to make a holiday go with a swing. Windbreak, beach chairs, BBQ, charcoal, kites, buckets and spades. Plus for the dogs a chucka, dog beds, throws and towels and a large dog crate.

Ruby Gem Cottage

Lovely cottage within 5 mins walk to the beach and dunes. The property itself was comfortable with a well supplied kitchen. The gift basket was a lovely treat for myself and the dogs.

A truly wonderful dog friendly stay

We loved our stay at Ruby gem with our 2 German Shepherds, this is a genuinely beautifully comfortable home that felt instantly relaxing the moment we arrived. The added thoughtful touches from the owners such as home made cakes and honey alongside a welcome pack on arrival made this even more special. Our dogs were welcomed everywhere we went in the area, and visiting in the winter months allowed us to have the beach to ourselves also. We will definitely be returning.

A memorable stay for all the right reasons

Arrival at Ruby Gem was a lovely surprise because of the overwhelming provision of treats left for us, both for humans and dogs. Not only quantity but quality. Home made cakes and cookies, jam and chutney home made dog treats, milk in the fridge, a fresh loaf of bread, eggs, coffee and tea. The next nice surprise was discovering the proximity of the dunes and the sea to the cottage. Just a 200 yard walk. The cottage itself is comfortable and warm with a basket of throws to put on the sofas, well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. With only a ground-floor toilet, my husband who has some mobility issues, found having to go up and down stairs several times in the night to the bathroom less than ideal. Winterton-on-Sea was a wonderful discovery - nice village with a tea room, pub (although I thought of it more as an enormous diner) and convenience store and miles of sandy beach with barely a human on it. All in all, a perfect holiday.

The best holiday home for dogs

This was my second time staying at Ruby Gem and it is our favourite holiday home from home. It's in a perfect location for the beach and winterton amenities. In the house itself, I love the accommodations they make for dogs, including plenty of blankets to cover the furniture if your furry friend likes to sit with you. I also came away slightly heavier due to thee home made treats left for us. We will definitely be returning.

An excellent dog welcoming cottage.Great Location..Parking & Garden.

We loved our stay. A very last minute booking and we were so lucky! Extremely dog welcoming with everything provided for their comfort and ours! Lovely garden to play or relax in. Walk to the glorious beach. Seal spotting. We didn’t stray far it had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The owner’s attention to detail and welcome pack were the best we’ve ever had!

Lovely cottage in a fabulous location

We made a relatively late booking and found both East Ruston Cottages and the owners of Ruby Gem to be brilliant communicators, giving us everything we needed before, during and after our stay (the app is fabulous!). We all enjoyed our stay, the dogs loved the cottage and are now trying to catch up on their rest after 6 days of beach walking :) We recommend Ruby Gem.. and I've not mentioned the welcome pack including cakes and sweets and jam and honey and dog treats which we loved!

Wonderful winter break

Ruby Gem is in a brilliant location, next door to a very nice pub and a couple of minutes from the beach. It had everything we needed for a great weekend, both for us and our dog. It was so nice not having to pack a dog crate or other dog bits and bobs. This is a real dog friendly cottage, not just dog tolerant, and having stayed in places which allow dogs but then turn out to have gardens that are not escape proof or do not allow dogs on sofas, this makes a huge difference.

Fantastic home from home

We had a fantastic week at Ruby Gem. It is a pleasure to stay in a cottage which has everything that we and our dog needs! Ruby Gem is truly dog friendly! From the lovely welcome basket with cakes and preserves for the humans to dog biscuits and bowls for our four legged friends it has everything. The cottage is comfortable, well equipped, quiet and perfect for a peaceful break in Winterton. The garden is secure and we could confidently let our dog out unsupervised. The beach is a short walk away and is a perfect place to exercise dogs.

Absolutely brilliant!

I've never stayed in a better cottage. The welcome package was out of this world and so generous! Dogs and people want for nothing and the location is perfect. The area is friendly and welcoming and we met so many lovely people. Five minutes from the dunes and beach which was great for the dogs who could run around while their staff watched the seals. The cottage is so handy for the local dog friendly pub whose Boozy Beef Pie was terrific and also for National Trust properties to inject a bit of culture into your break.

welcoming owners

This was our second stay here (and not our last) which speaks volumes. The owners ensure your holiday starts off in the best way possible with a lovely welcome pack - for humans and hounds. Lots of thought goes into ensuring guests and their dogs are made to feel welcome from the get-go. The cottage is always spotless and the garden is ideal for anyone with dogs who can simply be let out without any anxiety. The property is ideally located for easy access to everything - beach, pub, chippy, shop and the lovely village of Winterton. The furthest we travelled was 30 mins, so quick, simple access to a whole host of other attractions if you feel the need to venture out of Winterton.

Perfect holiday cottage

Ruby Gem is a lovely cottage in a perfect location. It is a couple of minutes walk from the stunning Winterton on Sea beach and sand dunes and miles of off lead walking for dogs. It is also next door but one to the Fisherman’s Return traditional village pub which is fabulously dog friendly with good food. The owners of Ruby Gem could not do more to provide humans and dogs with everything they need. The only thing we took with us for our 3 dogs was food. Fantastic welcome pack in the cottage of delicious homemade cakes, treats, bread, butter and freshly laid eggs - even homemade dog biscuits! We enjoyed every moment of our week and could not recommend Ruby Gem and East Rushton Cottages more. They truly welcome dogs and make everything easy and enjoyable for dogs and their owners. Highly recommend!

A Wonderful Norfolk Holiday

We have had the most wonderful holiday at Ruby Gem. The cottage was beautiful and in such a a quiet but central village location, fantastically situated for easy and quick access to the beach across the beautiful dunes. It is, without question, the most well equipped self catering cottage we have ever stayed in - from buckets and spades to dog treats, delicious home made cakes to dressing gowns, binoculars to games and books - there is everything here that you could want! We, our two grandchildren aged 12 and 8, and two dogs absolutely loved our holiday here - we were sad to leave but will definitely be back!

Perfect little cottage with the dunes on the doorstep we walked for hours most days the dogs were home from home they settled straight away. The owners of the cottage were amazing and lovely with it too. Any question was no problem. I have even booked to go again in September. Can’t wait.
