Posted on 3rd June 2023 Another lovely week at The Walnut
Another lovely week at The Walnut.
We stayed at The Walnut last year and had such a lovely week, we decided to book again. We knew exactly what to expect, its cleaned to a high standard and is so comfortable throughout, so ticks all the boxes for a really relaxing stay. The barn is beautiful inside and out.
Its the little touches that Stella and Paul have made that make all the difference. The lovely welcome basket full of of local goodies, the fudge was so good and dog biscuits, we're much appreciated too! The lovely flowers on arrival. The hot tub is also a bonus and there are lovely robes too, everything is well thought off. The paddock is excellent for zoomies, our dog absolutely loved it. Holiday tags are also provided for the dog, plenty of bowls, towels and dog toys. Also beds for the dog & a dog first aid kit.
There are lots of games and puzzles for everyone if the weather isn't so good.
We ate out at The Ship Inn, we also got a Chiense takeaway from Oriental Garden, definitely the best Chinese. We also got a pizza from Monzu (pizza van) at The Broads, would recommend.
We went to Bacton woods a few times.
We had some lovely walks from the door too.
We saw the barn owl this time. Sitting in the hot tub taking in all the gorgeous views, you won't hear anything other than the birds singing, it's so peaceful, so makes for the perfect getaway. Every window in The Walnut has lovely views out across the fields.
We have had such a lovely time again, thank you Paul & Stella for being brilliant hosts yet again. Paul, wishing you well with your recovery. Thanks for sharing your beautiful barn. Loki & Family.

Posted on 27th August 2022 Lovely Week at Natulius
We had a lovely week at Natulius.
This is our second holiday to Norfolk this year, we stayed at another ERC property in May and decided to book again and wanted somewhere close to the beach.
We arrived after a long drive to a welcome pack for us and biscuits for the dog, which was appreciated. You enter through the portch, it is handy plenty of dog bowels, and towels for the dogs which is helpful and saves room in the car.
Nautilus is in a great location, a three minute walk to the beach, a lovely, quiet sandy beach and you can hear the sea at night!
Inside Nautilus is modern, the bathroom is a good size and lots of space for toiletries and the shower is good too. Ironing board and iron, washing machine which is always handy. The garden isn't huge but it is nicely laid out and having the beach so close it isn't an issue as we made so much use of having the beach on the doorstep. We ate at The Star (our favourite) meals are really brilliant, it's dog friendly and staff are lovely, you can walk from Nautilus it took us 35 minutes.We also ate at The Ship Inn too. We got a takeaway from Oriental Garden in Bacton (collection & cash only) but great food. We also got a lovely pizza from Monzu (pizza van) they pitch up at Wroxham- definitely recommend the wood fire pizza's they were brilliant.We also went to Smallsticks a 15 minute walk from Nautilus, a great place to visit for cake or food. We spent most of our time at the beach but we also went to Bacton Woods too, great walk & many paths to take so if you need to avoid other dogs you can. Tescos is also close by for essentials. We had a lovely stay, the location is peaceful and having the beach on the doorstep was definitely a plus for us. Also nice to have an 11am check out too, not so much rushing around.
Thank you for a great stay.

Posted on 4th June 2022 The Walnut...Absolute Bliss!
We had an amazing stay at The Walnut.
I had high expectations for The Walnut and I can honestly say, it didn’t disappoint.
The barn is stunning, inside and out and very well looked after.
Stella & Paul met us on arrival so we knew where they were if we needed them. They are a lovely couple, and we enjoyed meeting Mister and Biff too. We had a long journey and asked if we could use the paddock when we arrived as we have a young lab, and this definitely helped burn of some energy- the earlier arrival helped us and our dog settle - so thank you very much for allowing us.
The front porch is brilliant for bags and storing shoes, beach bags etc, there is plenty room. The outside area is great, enclosed the courtyard with the hot tub and seating area and all fully secure, so you can totally relax knowing your dog is safe. Open the gate and you have access to the paddock outside. The paddock is brilliant, so much space for zoomies and great after a long drive. Our lab loved it, it was definitely a bonus for us to use.
Our stay was totally private and so peaceful, the only thing you will hear are the birds.
Beautiful views outside each window to be enjoyed and you are not overlooked whatsoever. Outside is so pretty at night too, the lights in the paddock on the tree and outside are lovely and makes it feel so homely.
The hot tub was a real bonus too, we enjoyed relaxing with the beautiful views across the fields. The robes for the tubs were great, nice to have these provided for the stay.
The Walnut is beautiful, its absolutely immaculate inside and so much care has gone into everything inside to make the stay comfortable. There were four of us and our dog and it wasn't cramped at all, it really makes for a comfortable stay.
Plenty of room in the bedrooms and hanging space, drawers etc, and both bathrooms have good showers too.
Stella & Paul & ERC really do get dog holidays, just because you have a dog and want dog friendly accommodation, it doesn't mean you should have to compromise on where you stay or the type of accommodation offered, The Walnut is dog friendly without doubt, but it is beautiful and such care has gone into the detail in the barn and its very clean throughout.
The welcome hamper was fab, plenty of treats for the humans & dog! The flowers, such a lovely and personal touch and nice to sample some local goodies - thank you, they were very much appreciated.
Holiday tags for collars were also provided. Also a dog first aid kit in the property too. Plenty of dog towels, toys, bowls and throws .
Plenty of games and puzzles, cards etc, to work your way through, when the weather isn't great. Tesco is a short drive too, which is good. The location is great.
We mostly ate out but had a takeaway from Oriental Garden in Bacton, it was really nice.
We also ate at The Star in Lessingham (very dog friendly) and the food was lovely, would definitely recommend, Its a twenty minute walk from The Walnut too!
We also ate in The Swan Inn, in Stalham, nice food and dog friendly.
The beaches are great, so many to choose from and all lovely sandy beaches, plenty of space and dogs! You can get to the beach in the car under ten minutes or walk, it took us an hour but was a nice walk.
We had such a lovely time, and it was so relaxing. The Walnut is a great base, close to the beaches and pubs and great for our lab who can be a bit reactive to noise, you literally cannot hear a thing outside whatsoever.
We have loved every bit of our stay, if it was available this summer we would have booked to stay again! We didn't want to leave and neither did the dog.
We have booked for next year and so glad we have that to look forward too.
We would highly recommend The Walnut, you will not be disappointed.
Thank you Stella & Paul, for sharing your beautiful barn and being so accommodating during our stay. We cannot wait to come back next year.
Love Loki & Family.

Posted on 8th August 2016 Rooster Barn- Surpassed all expectations!
We had an amazing week at Rooster Barn. The welcome goodies were such a thoughtful touch for us & our lab. The standard of the barn is very high, its beautiful, clean and yet homely. We felt very relaxed. The huge garden was such a bonus for our children & dog. They could explore their surroundings safely which made us feel at ease. The ERC dog tag & holiday collar such a good idea. The added extras all made our stay extra special. We were very sad to leave & already booking for next year! Highly recommend. Thank you ERC
