Paula, February 2024

We have just returned from another fabulous stay at Oaktree Cottages. This time we stayed in The Forge. Our first impression when we opened the door was how clean and fresh the cottage was. Lauren and her Mum really do make sure that everything is spotless and you would never know the accommodation is totally dog friendly. The attention to detail and finishing touches are first class, from the well stocked kitchen area that has everything you need to the amazing welcome hamper on arrival. The Forge is decorated in a modern style yet is comfy and homely. Little touches like roller blind pelmet boards shows they consider how everything looks.

Now to the welcome packs...both human and doggy! Amazing selection of local produce. Everything you need (including a bottle of wine) to enjoy your first night and morning without having to rush out to the shops. Our fur babies loved the Norfolk handmade cheese bones and jar of biscuit treats! There's also an ID tag for each dog, which is a great idea, and an enclosed field with a lovely seating area and hot doggy shower to rinse off muddy paws.

You can really tell Lauren and her family have put a lot of thought, love and care in to making your stay in one of their beautiful cottages totally stress free and relaxing.


Karen Sinclair, February 2024

Christmas won't be the same again! I made the decision to book The Forge and get away for Christmas in 2023, just me and my dog and it was the best decision ever. First impressions far exceeded what I was expecting. My dog settled in very quickly and enjoyed the very large welcome package (as did I, enjoyed my welcome package). Extremely clean and comfortable and the Christmas tree made it even cosier. I needed some help with the log burner and the hosts couldn't have been more helpful, coming over to give me a lesson! A lovely enclosed garden as well as an enclosed field to allow the dogs to exercise/play. When they say dog friendly, they mean 100% dog friendly and not just dogs are allowed. You can sense the owners passion for dogs (and guests!).

The location was amazing, so close to some incredible dog friendly beaches. Not an area I have explored before but will definitely be returning.

I have been recommending Oat Tree Cottages to everyone and know that two friends have booked stays in March and Sept so I'd best look at availability before the year is booked up!


D Golding, October 2023

Just love their cottages and how hard the family works to keep making every holiday we have with them better each year.


Beverley Scillitoe, October 2023

The owners have thought of everything to make these cottages fantastic ideally situated not far from several beaches & wooded walks.

Neill, September 2023

Stayed at the Forge in June this year. Has set the benchmark for all other accommodation! Spotless, everything you needed for humans & your furry friend provided. Excellent welcome packs for both. Extensive & clear information provided for walks, visits & eating out in the local area.

Large, safe exercise area that was well fenced in.

Located approximately ½ hour’s drive north of Norwich. We found good dog walking & free parking at Mousehold Heath. Norwich Cathedral allows dogs in all areas.

Recommended to other & we will return to the Forge again.

Because its the best place ever for our dogs Oak tree cottage really cares about the dogs with all the hand made treats to toys ,leads and collars with tag on with their address just incase the dogs get lost.

We have stayed in so many holiday cottage, travelling all over the UK since we have had our dogs, and Oak Tree Cottages are simply THE BEST.

Have to get booked up early these days though as word has got around how good they are.

Tracey Crowder, September 2023

The dog friendliest cottages we've ever stayed. Life was made so much easier knowing my dog needs were catered for at the cottage so we didn't need to travel with everything for our dog, Bruce. The, I'm on holiday tag, was a great touch to ensure our furry friend was safe when out and about and the enclosed field to allow Bruce to go for a run was ideal. We had an amazing stay x

Brendan Knight, August 2023

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Oak Tree Cottages staying in The Forge. It was beautiful, luxury accommodation. Everything was top quality and it was spotlessly clean. There was everything you could possibly need including a lovely welcome pack and extras in the fridge. Then there was the doggy stuff…my goodness, we have never stayed in such dog friendly accommodation! There was absolutely everything you could possibly need - bed, bowls, treats, toys, water bottle, tags, lead, throws, towels, poo bags, even pet perfume and paw balm! It was fab and the dogs absolutely loved it! They were allowed on the furniture and not only were they allowed upstairs, they were even allowed to sleep on the bed! And yet you wouldn’t know dogs had been staying in the property - it was spotless. Then the best part which sets it apart from other holiday accommodation is the huge immaculately kept and secure doggy playing field literally footsteps from your front door. It is absolutely fantastic with a really lovely sheltered seating area with lighting. There’s also a heated doggy shower, toys, poo bags etc. Again, everything has been thought of.

A lot of holiday accommodation SAY they are dog friendly but Oak Tree Cottages are TRULY dog friendly! We and our doggies absolutely loved it and cannot wait to return.


Peter Lowrence, August 2023

Friendly owners and dog friendly all round


Sara Osmond, August 2023

From the time you book to the time you leave (and you don’t want to!), the family at Oak Tree Cottages make your holiday unforgettable. The attention to detail from the welcome breakfast items to the dog gifts, treats and toys, and bedding - it’s so thoughtful. The cottages are immaculate, smell divine and are so relaxing. We occupied three cottages and it was lovely to be able to be so close to our families. They also have an amazing secure field, supplied with toys, dog shower and a summer house. The driveway is gated adding to the security so peace of mind for us with little ones and dogs! It’s just set up to be a wonderful space that you can relax and enjoy, and be on the door step to Norfolk’s beaches and things to do. Please go and try it out yourselves, you won’t be disappointed!


Jack Naisbett, August 2023

We had our honeymoon earlier this year and stayed at Oak Tree Cottages - The Forge, with our 6 year old GSD x Husky and we all had a perfect, cosy time!

Oak Tree cottages are very friendly and they cater so well for our fur babies with special hampers for the dogs along with toys , dog leads with tags on saying that they are staying at oak tree cottage with a phone number. There is loads of space for the dogs to run safely. We have been 4 times because our dogs love it there and going again next August. The dogs settle in so quickly.


Jan Pryke, August 2023

Excellent facilities with everything provided including a specific warm water doggie shower in the secure field to wash off sand / mud. Beautifully appointed accommodation with a super goody bag on arrival. Stayed in 3 of the 4 available spaces, too many dogs for the 4th one. Nothing is too much trouble - were even happy to accommodate our parrot (provided a seed stick for him in the goody bag) on the understanding that they could visit and meet him 😃👍🏻


Juliet Ripley, August 2023

I voted for Oak Tree Cottages because they are simply the perfect Cottages to holiday in with your pets and still feel like you’re staying in that little bit of luxury even our pets deserve. Everything has really been well thought out in providing a stress free relaxing break for all the family, couples, friends and especially pets.

I look forward to booking for next years rambling holiday.

The cottages are just amazing. Luxurious for human and so very dog friendly. All equipped with things that you didn’t even know you might need. Outdoor space with each cottage is lovely and the opportunity to socialise and chat with occupants of other cottages if you choose. With small area for dogs as well as large fenced field. Hot water shower for dogs too. Plenty of parking and all secure. We have stayed twice now with another stay coming up this year and so far one booked for next year. The owners are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We highly recommend.

Lisa Clayden, August 2023

I’ve stayed in a lot of holiday cottages and the team at Oak Tree Cottages give by far the best dog friendly place to stay. Many others have been found to be dog tolerant rather than welcoming. Oak Tree Cottages supply everything to make the dog’s stay perfect and their owners too! Also the fabulous dog exercise field yet another bonus.


Peter Lucas, August 2023

They truly give both dogs and then human friends a memorable holiday!


Frankie Watkins, August 2023

We have travelled the UK extensively with our dogs and stayed in some lovely holiday cottages. However, Oak Tree Cottages are simply THE BEST. Nothing is too much trouble for either 2 legged or 4 legged guests, they go above and beyond to ensure a fabulous holiday for all. True luxury keeps us returning at least once a year and always reluctant to return home.


Sue Ingram, August 2023

We have stayed in all 4 cottages and we are so looking forward to starting the round again in a few weeks time….they are simply the most dog friendly cottages we have ever stayed in. Plus they are immaculately presented so a real treat for us humans too. Everything, and I mean everything, has been thought of. Perfect.


Ash Risby, August 2023

They have the most dog friendly, impeccable accommodation that I've ever seen and put as much time and effort into making dogs feel at home as they do humans.

Vikki Gregory, August 2023

We’ve stayed three times in the Forge and cannot fault it. Everyone is so friendly, the accommodation is beautiful, totally dog welcoming and a lovely part of the world.


Charlotte Woods, August 2023

These holiday cottages are owned and run by a lush family who just cannot do enough to make your stay divine. Everywhere is always spotlessly clean and you can just feel the care and thought that has been put into all the little details. Our dog’s welcome hamper was incredible and the enclosed field with a beautiful shelter was the icing on the cake. We have holidayed here time and time again because we just can’t find anywhere else that even comes close to the perfection of this place.


Charlee Brown, August 2023

Amazing care & love given. Accommodate so well for fur babies & grown ups too

Shirley Gittos, August 2023

Absolutely the best place ever.


Kim, August 2023

Oak Tree Cottages are the best ever cottages you could stay at. They have 4 cottages and over our (I believe) 7 times we have stayed there we have holidayed in 3 of them. The cottages have everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Our dog has been every time with us and it's now a second home for him. You should have seen his tail wagging when we arrived. It's a home for him he just relaxes .

We have already booked forJuly 2024 and if we can manage a few days before the end of the year we will be there.


Karen Chapman, August 2023

Highly recommend - very dog friendly. Lovely hosts. Fantastic cottages, superbly fitted out, has everything you need and more. The dog exercise field is amazing. We have stayed twice and have rebooked for next year. Close to lovely beaches and Bacton Woods.


Anne, July 2023

We have styed three times at Oak Tree Cottages. Once in Oak Tree Cottage and twice in The Forge. If you are a dog owner, this place is super ideal. Lots of dog friendly features and the AMAZING enclosed dog field on site. On top of this, the accommodation itself is very high end and Lauren and the team there show an exceptional attention to detail. This area of Norfolk is top notch for dogs too. We cannot recommend these cottages highly enough and would thoroughly recommend.


Jayne & Simon, July 2023

Just got back from a lovely week staying in Churchfields Cottage. The cottage is the perfect ‘home from home’, so well equipped & very comfortable. The extra goodies, on arrival, were very much appreciated by us all!

Barney loved the enclosed field & the beach is just 5 minutes away by car.

Lauren & her family are always accommodating & approachable, this was the second time we’ve stayed at Oak Tree Cottages & we’ve already booked to stay again in 2024!


Gabriella, May 2023

Oak Tree Cottages are truly dog friendly - dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the beds and throws are provided. They also have everything you need for your dogs - treats, bowls, dog bed, poo bags, toys etc. The enclosed field is brilliant and even has a shelter to sit in and a warm shower for the dogs as well as more toys. The Forge has its own small enclosed garden and the other cottages have their own courtyards with a shared garden area for the dogs.

The cottages are very luxurious and comfortable and everything has been thought of. They are situated not far from the beach which the dogs absolutely love. I can’t recommend Oak Tree Cottages enough if you are looking to stay with your dogs in this part of Norfolk.


Tracey, March 2023

Not sure we really want to write a review, as that means that we will have to share this outstanding property with everyone else!

Us and our 2 dogs have just returned from a fantastic week away in The Forge, the smallest cottage, and absolutely perfect to 2 adults and 2 dogs.

We first visited the property last year and immediately booked again for this year.

There is so much to say, the accommodation is of a superior standard, the human welcome pack is more than generous and the dogs welcome pack is great.

Lauren and her family are so welcoming and make time to make sure you are settled.

Our dogs absolutely love the secure field and this was a top priority for us as well for their safety.

The property is situated very closely to beaches, woods and other villages. The local walks pack in the property is more than useful.

So don't hesitate about booking your visit, you will not regret it, and we will certainly be booking for a 3rd time


Nicky Starley, December 2022

Amazing cottage with private garden. Very clean with lots of thoughtful touches. Welcome pack for our pooch as well as for us. Lovely field to exercise your dogs. Definitely dog friendly in every way. Loved staying here and will definitely be back. Great location for exploring the lovely dog friendly beaches.


Veronica, November 2022

Four of us stayed for ten days in Lighthouse cottage with three dogs It was really great So welcoming for us all Lovely and comfy and everything we wanted . Had a really enjoyable holiday . Hope to be back again.


Stacey Ely, November 2022

Fabulously well equipped, from gorgeous dog beds & throws for the sofa so dogs can come up on them too. To an array of dog toys, fenced play area & hot shower to clean off muddy paws. The cottage was imaculate & the welcome pack really well thought out, packed full of treats for humans & hounds.


shauna sandford, November 2022

Our stay was absolutely perfect, couldn't have been cleaner, more welcoming or set beautifully. Gorgeous walks and beaches nearby, would love to go back


Adele, October 2022

We stayed for a long weekend in Oak Tree Cottage which was fantastic. The owners have thought of everything. The cottage was tastefully furnished and spotlessly clean. Perfect set up for and our dog, Dudley, with the secure field and hot shower and our own enclosed patio area. He loved it there as much as we did! The welcome packs were great too. We will definitely be booking again.

Thank you Oak Tree Cottages, you are doing a superb job!


annie lewis, September 2022

Perfect set up for us and our 4 dogs, we actually felt like we had a proper holiday as well as our dogs! Attention to detail was 100% and everything was thought about including secure field with hot shower and supplied toys, our own enclosed exercise area, wonderfully comfortable and cosy beds, immaculately clean everywhere and an amazingly generous welcome pack for ourselves and for our 4 dogs. couldn't have wanted for anything more! - also location was excellent for walks/beaches and river/canal walks.... pubs... restaurants... seafood.... what more can I say. Completely above and beyond expectations and worth every penny! - Thanks very much to the team x


Sue Flynn, August 2022

This was our third visit to Oak Tree Cottages, this time at The Forge 1 bedroom duplex. A wonderful stay,, for us and our 2 westies. The enclosed garden is great and the dog field is a huge bonus which we use a lot. Thanks to Lauren and family for another dog friendly stay!


Sandra Merrell, August 2022

It’s soo dog friendly, clean and the dog field is amazing 😍


Karen Chapman, August 2022

We spent a week here end of April this year and found it to be the perfect place & setting for us and or Labrador. The dog field was very impressive and our dog Max loved it. Beautiful cottage - we stayed in the Lighthouse - fab welcome pack. We loved it so much we have booked again for next year.


Kim Stevens, August 2022

The best, dog friendly accommodation ever. No limitations and such friendly owners. It’s all about the dogs.


Melanie Pluck, August 2022

Exceptional cottages, not just dog friendly but dog welcoming. Super accommodation and facilities, fabulously clean and superb hosts.


Lesley Jane, July 2022

We stayed in the Forge for 2 people with Chester my 13 year old Border Terrier in June 22.

It was a dogtastically great place!

Chester settled immediately with his doggy welcome pack and the enclosed field with water and toys.

He had his own enclosed garden.

Absolutely beautiful décor and I was thrilled with bath robe and human welcome pack.

We all loved it but we did not stay long enough and needed another week, note to self.


Mandy, June 2022

Excellent place to stay extremely dog friendly we have been spoiled for staying anywhere else we have booked for next year too we enjoyed it that much. Cottage has everything you could need and the dog field is fantastic we struggled getting our cocker past it to go anywhere else. Also brilliant location your within 5-20 mins drive to plenty of walks on either beaches woods or countryside dog heaven! and many are within walking distance from the door.


Karen, June 2022

We stayed at Oak Cottage in May with our whippet Daisy. Everything you see on their website is just as it is in reality. The welcome pack is fabulous and is sent pre arrival with fantastic info on what is available; dog friendly walks, pubs, cafes and places to visit. Loads of treats and goodies for hoomans and doggies when you get there. The cottage was beautiful, well equipped with everything you can think of, a real home from home. It was fantastic to know our spoilt whippet could behave just as she does at home; lounging on the sofa and the bed with throws provided. The outside area at the cottage was secure and great for her to mooch around in but the biggest bonus for us sighthound owners who worry about letting them off leash, was the secure field she could run freely in next to the cottage and a warm outdoor shower for her return from the beach. Fabulous place and the owners have it all covered for 5* doggie hols. Will definitely be back and will recommend without hesitation.


Karen, May 2022

Cannot fault this place. Everything we needed & more. Very very dog friendly - fab welcome pack for dogs & humans. Lovely dog field with toys & seating area. Loved it so much have booked again for next year .


Jan, March 2022

Have stay here on several occasions over the last 4 years - in fact have never stayed anywhere else in Norfolk. Everything for both humans and canines is catered for. The welcome pack is just that, welcoming with lots of unexpected treats for all. Excellent facilities with even an outdoor warm shower to wash off dogs should they need it. Absolutely no qualms in recommending this venue as a place to stay.


Sally, February 2022

A return visit, last here July 2020 and should have been here Feb 2021! But absolutely worth waiting for. This time, to accommodate all nine of us, we were lucky enough to be able to stay in Church Fields (sleeps six) as well as the lovely Lighthouse (sleeps four) where we stayed before. Both are superb, everyone loved staying there and our stay went so fast! Really dog friendly, yet luxurious for humans and very well-equipped. On top of all that, our welcome goodies were fantastic, and, as return guests, we were spoilt even more, woe betide anyone that tries stealing my Oak Tree Cottages bag! Seriously, none of us could fault a thing - Lauren and team think of absolutely everything! Already want to return ☺ Massive thank you to Oak Tree Cottages, yet again ☺


Ann, January 2022

Lighthouse Cottage was just perfect for a late November mini break for my friend me & our 3 dogs. The quality of accommodation & attention to detail was excellent. We loved the doggie & human welcome packs.

The cottage has two fabulous ensuite bedrooms, a cosy well equipped lounge/kitchen/diner & direct access to a big patio & enclosed shared grassed area.

Better still the whole site is dog secure with two fields and even an outdoor shower.

East Ruston is an excellent location with plenty of walks, easy access to beaches, the Broads National Park & seaside towns.


Milly Merrell, October 2021

Amazing place, so welcoming we love coming here


Gary Pryke, October 2021

This lovely venue has high quality accommodation for us Humans with those little touches that set them above everything else we’ve experienced. Add to this a fantastic set up for your Dogs. They are so pet friendly with welcome packs, an individual patio with each residence and a garden area for those necessities. This is then coupled with a field for off lead fun on the opposite side of the complex.


David Watkins, October 2021

Beautiful well equipped accommodation with everything a dog and their staff could dream of


Emma McDowell, October 2021

The best dog friendly accommodation we have ever booked! Our dog was treated as just as much of a guest as we were, from the moment we got there he was spoilt with a tub of goodies including blankets, towels, treats, toys, food, shampoo and fur spray - even a collar and a special tag to let people know he was on his holidays on case he were to become lost. Every detail thought of! We were given lots of information about places to visit that were dog friendly, from beaches and parks to pubs and cafes. The dog paddock at the cottages was absolutely brilliant and so well thought out. Every day before we left to go anywhere, our dog would whine until we let him run into the paddock for a quick burst of playtime and we would do the same thing whenever we returned to the cottage. Not only have Oak Tree Cottages considered the space and comfort of any dogs who stay, they have thought about safety too. We will absolutely return (and were due to until Covid sadly meant cancelling our second booking!) They are a great family team and we really had the best time.


Sally Parsons, October 2021

The exercise [secure] field, the dog friendly accomodation, the patio leading to the grassy area (with a secure gate) for early morning/late night wee wees - is there anything they haven’t thought of? I guess that’s why we’ve booked a return holiday 🐾❤️


Tony Broomwich, October 2021

Amazing cottages in a wonderful location. Everything has been thoroughly thought of


Helen Rippey, October 2021

Oak tree cottages are so dog friendly they have thought of everything for your pooch. The cottage it’s self is very luxurious perfect for you & mans best friend 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾


Raymond King, October 2021

We loved the care and attention paid to the dogs. The accommodation was clean, light and welcoming. Lovely patio area for the dog to play on and above all, an exercise field where our dog could run free, explore and play. Lovely welcome pack with plenty of treats for canines and humans!


Sue Capon, October 2021

Sharon Woolsey, October 2021

Melanie Pluck, October 2021

Pure luxury for dogs and hoomans. We have visited three times and will be returning again.


Karen, September 2021

Just returned from a week in The Forge. A beautifully renovated home from home. The lovely owners have thought of everything - just turn up and start your holiday! And so doggy friendly it’s untrue - dogs go free, can behave just like they do at home 😉 and there’s a fabulous safe paddock complete with doggy shower and toys. The perfect place to stay with your pooch!


Pete Walker, September 2021

Fantastic facilities for dogs!


Karen Walker, September 2021

Brilliant cottages. Well maintained and comfortable


Frankie, September 2021

Fantastic accommodation, truly dog welcoming. Our senior dog decided the dog bed in the cottage was better than his favourite brought from home! Everything is provided for a comfortable stay, an amazing welcome pack for people and dogs, luxury linens, dog bed and towels and a well equipped kitchen. The secure dog field with warm dog wash is very welcome to rinse of the sand from the day at the beach.


Laraine Blakeley, September 2021

Oaktree cottages are absolutely the best holiday cottages you will find and trust me I have tried many! You don’t have to have a dog either as the accommodation is amazing and you will want for nothing! Everything will be provided for you and your dogs it’s unbelievable you have to give this family a try you will not be disappointed I promise you


Kim Stevens, September 2021

5 star accommodation, perfect hosts, and dog provisions are amazing. Location is perfect to visit all that Norfolk has to offer. You couldn’t ask for more.


David McLoughlin, September 2021

Oak Tree Cottages is the most luxurious holiday a dog could ever have. The home comforts provided for them is absolutely fantastic and their safety is of paramount importance. The fenced in field is enormous for them to run about and if they get muddy there is a warm shower to rinse off with. Not to forget the grass area attached to the cottage so the owner doesn't have far to go on a morning or last thing at night taking the dog out.

What more can a dog ask for and also the owners.

Fandabidozie


Ella Eccleston, September 2021

Because the accommodation, the facilities, & the owners go above & beyond to make a stay with them, together with dogs, a true pleasure.


Karen Richardson, September 2021

So doggy friendly it’s untrue! Have thought of everything to make this a perfect holiday destination for dogs and owners alike.

Frances Watkins, September 2021

Amazingly comfortable cottages, we’ve stayed in two. Brilliant welcome packs for both dogs and people. Nothing is too much trouble for Lauren and her team/family. They dealt with everything the weather and mad spaniels threw at them


Cheryl Purt, September 2021

We have tried a few doggy holidays but none of them have the 5star accommodation for our fur babies and for us, the dogs are well looked after from their own welcome hamper and beds loads of toys, there is a fantastic paddock all fenced in and as a doggy shower plus more toys for them to play with. The cottage it self is well equipped clean and very tidy you weren't think that dogs stay there. We haven't been any where else since we found Oak Cottage and all the family go there now.


Julian Franko, September 2021

Nina, August 2021

We stayed at the 'Oak Cottage', & what a fabulous cottage it is too. You arrived to find the fantastic welcome hamper, not only fir yourself, but your four legged friends too.

The cottages have anything, everything & more that you could possibly need fior your stay.

The patio & Shared garden were a lovely,,but my dogs absolutely loved the secure fenced off large field to runabout on, & were spoled by the toys provided for them to play with.

Everything about Oak Cottages says "high end & quality" It was a home from home & even the 'teenager' was happy as it had WiFi & you tube


Phil batts, August 2021

Everything form the friendly welcome dog box to space for gem to stretch their legs in safety. couldn't recommend enough

I have stayed twice at Oak tree cottages (oak cottage & lighthouse), unfortunately my third visit had to be cancelled due to Covid but everything was very swiftly and efficiently handled by Oak tree cottages and my booking has been rescheduled for next year. Cannot wait to get back to our home from home location, grounds and cottages are immaculate and everything you could possibly ask for is there! Highly recommend to everyone!


Janan Gok, August 2021

I have visited many dog friendly places around the UK but Oak Tree really stood out as going above and beyond to make their venue dog friendly!

A truly exceptional place to stay with everything you could possibly need whilst on holiday. Our dogs were made to feel as welcome as we were. Lots of places say they are dog friendly but Oak Tree Cottages really are. 5 star accommodation for dogs and humans!

Lisa Ingram, August 2021

Oak Tree cottages really understand dogs are truly part of the family; and should be comfortable and enjoy themselves as much as humans. There is such attention to detail ensuring dogs have everything they need for a great holiday; their own welcome hamper, outdoor areas to play, etc. Many holiday cottages accept dogs, but at Oak Tree they are truly welcomed.


Ella Eccleston, August 2021

FIVE ⭐️ .. PLUS !!

They are so thoughtful, so kind, so helpful; all the little things that money truly cannot buy.


Tracey Collingwood, August 2021

Lauren is a fellow holiday cottage owner and goes above and beyond to ensure all of her properties are as dog welcoming as possible. All of the inside and outside spaces have been thought about to make holidaying with dogs, not only enjoyable, but give peace of mind that dogs have been properly catered for. Dog friendly isn't a tick box for Oak Tree Cottages, they really do mean it!


Sue Greenaway, August 2021

Lauren Merrell, August 2021

Amazing 5*


Nicola King, August 2021

Amazing attention to detail in the cottages and really dog friendly! Warm welcome with treats and toys on arrival and even a collection of things you may have forgotten . Great enclosed exercise field , with outdoor toys for the pups to play with and an outdoor doggy shower too clean off at the end of a busy day exploring Norfolk beaches and nearby woodlands . Inside the cottages are smartly appointed to a high standard , very clean and really cosy with underfloor heating so pup sleeps soundly and even have access to your own courtyard plus a convenient extra communal dog space.

Sharon Risby, August 2021

Oak Tree Cottages go above & beyond to ensure both their human & doggy visitors have a fantastic holiday away from it all. Nothing is too much trouble & by going that extra mile, it makes booking with them from start to finish a pleasure. They deserve every success with their business.


Lisa Risby, August 2021

Stayed in the newest edition, the Forge. Beautifully renovated to the highest standard. Every need is met and high quality products. What really sets them apart from the rest is their attention to your doggy. Not only a luxury welcome pack for the humans but also one for the dog with many thoughtful surprises. I especially liked the holiday dog tag and doggy towels. There is nothing they haven’t thought of. 5*+

Can’t wait to stay again!


Sue Ingram, August 2021

They are simply the best holiday cottages we have EVER stayed in . Humans are very well catered for with everything immaculately presented and the finer details thought through to make your holiday very special BUT the attention to detail with welcoming dogs is outstanding. From the welcome basket, bowls, towels, bed all provided as well as a hot outdoor shower to wash them off after a run in the huge doggy field where then can run and fetch to theiir hearts content. The beautiful nearby beaches are all dog friendly too so for us it is,the perfect holiday. Must be as we will soon visiting for the 3rd time in 16 months. Honestly love it so much there.


Elizabeth Scott, August 2021

Frankie Watkins, August 2021

Amazing accommodation, perfect for dogs and people. Tags, toys, biscuits for the dogs a food basket for the people and an well equipped kitchen. We had an eventful week, we arrived at the beginning of a 55hour power cut, one of our dogs slashed his leg at the beach but the Oak Tree Cottages team were incredible, our dinners were cooked, basic power was quickly restored through a generator on site and contact details for vets were passed on. Get well biscuits were provided for the injured dog. The mark of good customer service is what happens when things go wrong, and we could not fault Oak Tree Cottages.


Mark Visaya, August 2021

I stayed there and the place is beautiful.


Claire Johnson, August 2021

Sandra Merrell, August 2021

It’s soo dog friendly and superb cottages


MELANIE PLUCK, August 2021

The Cottages are amazing - they are are not only ‘dog friendly’ they are dog welcoming and extra touches (such as ‘I’m on holiday’ dog tags, doggy shower) make so much difference. The cottages are so luxurious for humans too; it is rare to find such high quality accommodation for both humans and dogs. The work behind the scenes to make these cottages so superb cannot be under-estimated. The team clearly love hospitality and welcoming humans and canines.


Dannielle Willoughby, August 2021

Beautiful place, so accommodating and they really give the place a special touch, making you feel at home.


Kathleen Ashworth, August 2021

Luxurious cottage that provides everything you need on holiday for humans and doggies. Welcome goodies for both. Friendly owners that are on hand for anything you want.


Siobhan Kelly, August 2021

Luxury accommodation that welcomes humans and dogs with the most amazing goodies. The cottages are well equipped for self catering and absolutely spotless. The owners are nearby and are quick to respond to any questions and to give recommendations. Cannot wait to return.


Sally Bannerman, August 2021

Great cottages that truly welcome and cater for dogs without compromising on luxury and quality for their human companions.


Mark, July 2021

We stayed at “The Forge” in July 2021. This accommodation is absolutely outstanding!

The attention to detail is amazing. The welcome pack is like nothing we had seen before. Our dog Finlay was just as excited as we where to see his own welcome pack.

As a pet friendly holiday they don’t get any better than this!

It’s a good location as well. You can get to:- Sheringham (37min), West Runton (35min), East Runton (33min), Cromer (30min), Overstrand(29min), Trimingham (21min), Mundersley (14min), Bacton/Walcott (5min), Happisburgh (5min), Sea Palling (13min) , Caister (23min), Great Yarmouth (30 min).

If you don’t want to travel far Happisburgh is a fantastic beach and it’s got toilets.

Best beach overall I would say was Sea Palling, but Caister was nice.

Sheringham & Cromer are great places, but have dog restrictions on the beach, but you can find enough space for sure to make it worth the trip.

Great Yarmouth is the Blackpool of the east worth a visit and it does look like it is re-energizing itself with new buildings. Parking can be pricey £8.50 for 3hr or £7 A DAY.


Elizabeth Scott, June 2021

We have just returned from Oak Tree Cottages ,cannot recommend these cottages enough ,have been to quite a few dog friendly cottages and these are far the best we have been to, Lauren and family have thought of everything for both dogs and humans ,spotlessly clean ,beds so comfy ,large fridge freezer , the warm shower near the dog field was ideal after their day out on lovely beaches and loads of walks nearby ,BBQ was excellant (not just a small cheap one ) a lovely large gas one even though the weather was not very good for first 2 days it was a pleasure to come back to cottage and settle down to a movie on comfy sofas and loads of dvds to choose from, including prime and netflix ,we recommend the Star Inn for Sunday lunch really yummy! we had an evening meal there also just as good ,the welcome packs in the cottage was amazing for both dogs and us ,the most important thing to us is that the dogs were secure , certainly are here ,little gate into a grassed area from your cottage and the large enclosed field for them to run and play with toys etc provided , i could go on and on praising these cottages ,if your thinking of booking dont hesitate you wont be disappointed ,we will be back in the future (a wks not long enough ) Thanks again


Yvonne, April 2021

If you are looking for a top-notch dog welcoming (not just dog friendly) Holiday cottage In Norfolk then look no further! Spotlessly clean and very tastefully decorated, Lauren and family have thought of everything you might need for a comfortable relaxing stay. Exceptional welcome pack for dogs and humans alike. Our older dog loved the underfloor heating for a snooze after a long beach walk and could relax on the sofa covered with a throw. The enclosed field is brilliant for quick first and last walkies of the day. The cottages are ideally located close to lots of lovely dog friendly beaches including Happisburgh, Sea Palling, Winterton on Sea and Mundesley, and the Broads.

Honestly the best holiday cottage we have stayed in , truly dog friendly , we have a nervous rescue dog and the forge made it so easy for us all to relax , having a fully enclosed garden was fab but being able to use a fully enclosed field too was brilliant and it had toys and an outdoor hot/cold shower for the dogs , everything for humans and dogs has been thought of honestly wouldn’t change a thing , the human and dog welcome packs are lovely and the fact sunny our dog could sit on the sofa with us and come up stairs was brilliant x

We had a fantastic stay, from start to finish we couldn't fault the cottage. The whole area is secure and the large field with toys and warm doggie shower was great for Woods play times, meaning we were able to chill and not have to get in the car to travel somewhere.

The personal touches from personalised newsletter to the dog welcome basket was lovely. The Oak Tree Cottage was spotlessly clean and warm, Woods settled quickly, It was a home away from home. The bed was very comfortable and decent sleeps were had by all. The outdoor area was brilliant for Woods to wander outside on the communal grass area and go the loo plus meet other dogs.

Location wise, we visited about 6 different beaches all dog friendly, saw the grey seals and found a beautiful woodland at Bacton Woods all within 20 mins drive or so. Lauren was helpful and friendly at the end of a text. Can't recommend this place enough.

Not only is the accommodation and facilities 5* deluxe, but in the recent storm when we were without power for 55 hours they sourced a generator to enable us to have heating, lighting and hot water and made us supper on their AGA. Going above and beyond for their human and doggy guests. They have also provided a large fenced in paddock for the dogs to have fun and a warm water doggy shower to rinse off the mud or sand from the day’s adventures. Best place ever!

Have just returned from our second visit to Oak Tree Cottage with our 3 labradors. 5* accommodation, 6* for dogs with secure exercise field, hot water dog shower, toys, treats, towels, throws. 5 minute drive from sandy beach on Norfolk Coast trail, 10 minutes from Bacton Woods; what dog could ask for more.

These cottages are the best of the best, the most dog friendly place we’ve ever stayed at. Blankets are provided for if your dog goes onto the chairs or beds. Treats, dog tags, toys and a lead are for your dog to use while staying. The warm shower near the enclosed field where you can walk, everything is well thought of making it a perfect stay for dogs and their humans. Clean, comfortable, welcome pack this is the perfect holiday home.

We have just returned from our stay at Oak Tree Cottages where we stayed at The Forge, cannot recommend it highly enough the attention to detail and thought that has gone into making your stay for not only you but for your dog as well is outstanding, well done and thank you.

Fabulous quality accommodation and helpful, friendly owners.


Sadie, September 2020

We holiday every year with our dogs and Oak Tree Cottage was THE most dog friendly of all we have stayed in! Super clean, superbly kitted out for humans and the dogs too! Lauren and her family are always happy to help with anything too. Great area for dog walking too!


Daniel Webb, September 2020

Accommodation exceeded our expectations! From the generous welcome pack (for us humans & also for our pup too!) to the spotlessly clean rooms to the owners going out of their way to show us the local beach!

Everything you could possibly want in the kitchen, lots of DVDs & books to use if the weathers not so great, plus plenty of guide books of the local area provided.

Facilities for dogs are amazing - a communal grassed area and enclosed larger field complete with heated dog shower!

Five stars from us!

I have been coming to ERC for a number of years now and find the standard is excellent.


Ali Burnal, August 2020

We had the most amazing stay at Oak Tree Cottages. They have thought of everything for dogs and their humans.

We don't think we'll ever find such a wonderful place!


Sally Parsons, August 2020

Really dog friendly yet luxurious; extremely well equipped and comfortable, finished to a very high standard. Secure garden plus secure field. Can not fault in any way at all, a real holiday for humans and canines alike.


Ali, July 2020

Oak Tree Cottages are fantastic. The accommodation is 5*. It's a if they've thought of what they would like if they stayed somewhere and included it!

Lighthouse Cottage was really high spec with everything you could want.

The patio area with BBQ and plenty of seating added to the relaxing space.

The dog friendly aspect can't be beaten from the safe patio and shared grassed area to the dedicated dog field.

They've thought of everything.

We spent a week in the lovely oak tree cottages.

We have been to Norfolk and this area a few times and it is a great place if you have dogs. It was our first time at the cottages and we were pleasantly surprised.

Decorated and furnished to a high standard. Kitted out very well in the kitchen, cleaning products, hair dryers in each room! Beautiful bathroom!

Lovely doggie and human hampers, including an " I am on holiday tag".

Garden backs onto the other 3 cottages again well equipped, and also access into a joint escape proof grass area (brick walls over 6ft).

They are also in the process of completing a secure exercise field.


Donna, July 2019

Fantastic place to stay, high quality, exceptionally clean and incredibly well equipped. Chris and Lauren have truly thought of everything when designing the cottages. I loved the welcome pack for both humans and dogs, that was an extra special touch on top of just a fabulous cottage. We stayed with 2 dogs and there was plenty of room. We loved the small communal exercise area, my pup loved meeting his neighbours! There are some fantastic beaches and woodlands near to the property, and most shops and pubs are dog friendly which made holidaying here very easy. I would highly recommend this accommodation.


Henry Miller, May 2019

OMG! (as the youngsters say) Oak tree cottage has it all, from the 5* welcome pack, furnishings and décor to location. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here earlier last month, great walks, coastline and minutes from the broads. I was amazed how rich in history this area is too - oldest humanoid footprints found in the world at happisburgh beach outside of Africa, being just one!

I will be returning next year with friends, best wishes to such a lovely family - Henry Miller


Cayley, May 2019

Me and my family had a lovely time here for the weekend for my husbands birthday kids and our dog loved it. The cottage was at a very high standard, absolutely lovely people made us feel very welcome, lovely food near by, great beaches for kids and dogs, definitely going again soon! 5 stars all round


Pamela, May 2019

A truly lovely cottage. We spent a week here and just didn’t want to leave. It is a home from home but so much better. They have really thought of everything here from the mini toiletries to the excellent welcome pack for us and our dogs. We could not fault a thing. We loved the little touches including the holiday dog tags. It really is all the things that matter. Our only negative is the week went too quickly! Can not wait to be back in the summer.


Sandra, May 2019

Stayed at Oak tree cottages, it is a beautifully presented, very warm and cosy cottage with an extremely well equipped kitchen. The attention to detail is second to none. They are not only dog friendly, but dog welcoming too. They provided us a extensive welcome pack, that didn’t stop with us, but extended to our dogs, everything has been thought of. I highly recommend and can’t wait to come back soon (we’ve already booked our next holiday with them).


Lauren, May 2019

I cannot recommend these cottages highly enough! We have just spent the weekend in Church Fields Cottage and it was amazing! From the basket full of dog treats, toys, tags, bowls and throws, to the well equipped kitchen, there is nothing that has been overlooked! They are not only dog friendly but people friendly too and we will definitely be going back!!
