Local Area Information

Church View Cottage is on the outskirts of the quiet village of East Ruston, we are located near to the internationally famous East Ruston Old Vicarage Gardens. We haven't got neighbours nearby just fields! 

We are just 2 miles from the beaches at Happisburgh and Cart Gap. This stretch of the beach is dog friendly all year round.

With miles of fabulous beaches and coastal villages to explore, Church View Cottage is an excellent base for fantastic days out.

A comprehensive information folder is in the cottage which provides information on all the restaurants and cafes in the area, as well as leaflets promoting the wide range of places to visit and explore.
