A relaxing few days in Trunch
1 Paynes Cottage is delightful. It has been sensitively renovated retaining its original features combining with modern living .
The welcome hamper was greatly appreciated as were the safe areas where our dog ‘Bertie’ could romp.
The cottage had everything we needed during our five night stay although the Broadband/Wifi connection is very slow.
The local pub, the Crown inn, was also very welcoming and produced well priced suppers with huge portions!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
Thank you

A lovely week away
A very comfortable stay at 1 Paynes Cottage. Very clean and tidy inside and out, with comfy sofas, and king size bed which is very important. The large TV was welcome in the evenings and made a change to the small ones you usually get. The fridge freezer wasn’t huge so you would struggle with a full week’s shopping, but luckily we just took enough food for a couple of days.
The internet was extremely slow so that was a little frustrating but apart from that we had a lovely week here.

everything we needed - and more
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!
