We came to stay here to visit Thursford which is just 40 mins away. It was great to be able to bring our dogs with us and be able to leave them in the property for a little while. Not all holiday cottage companies let you do this. We also had a recommendation for a dog sitter called The Fairy Dog Lover and she was great. She came to meet us and called to feed them while we were at Thursford. The property was so practical as well with non slip vinyl flooring throughout and access to a secure garden. The welcome pack was also great. Everything you need for a first nights stay and also included lots of doggie treats. Everything was comfortable. The village is very quaint and it was easy to walk the dogs although you do need a torch at night. The pub was excellent and was well stocked and did great food. It's a good place to have access to the coast and also North Walsham is only 10 mins away with all the services you need. Norwich is also not too far away. Would totally recommend this place

well this is why we choose east ruston holiday and always go to swallowdale. i unfortunately had a nasty fall on the beach day one of our holiday and broke my wrist. sue (at east ruston) and caroline (the owner of swallowdale) went above and beyond to make sure i was ok, had transport and everything we needed to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. this is why we go back twice a year as swallowdale is so dog friendly! that while i was stuck in hospital my dogs had everything they needed at the bungalow. caroline always makes sure you have everything you need! i would never go anywhere else as i feel like its home from home. the only downfall is i never want to leave and get really bad holiday blues when we do!

We had a super last minute break at Swallowdale. Our second stay and it disappoint. The property is real comfortable and well equipped for all you would need. The garden is completely secure. A great location for walks and visits to the beach. We look forward to coming back, again.

We had a fabulous week at Swallowdale. It is the most dog equipped and friendly property I’ve ever stayed in. Catered perfectly for one old and one young dog, the enclosed garden is ideal. The welcome pack was fantastic full of lovely produce. We all had a fantastic time on the beaches at Bacton, Happisburgh, Mundesley and Cart Gap. Lots of lovely dog friendly cafes and pubs around, the local in Trunch is very welcoming and nice food. We loved Watson’s at Bacton after a beach walk for coffee and cake. Trip to see the seals at Horsey was great followed by tea at Poppylands. Also had a lovely afternoon in Holt and another in Cromer. All in all just perfect. We hope to be back soon
