Location & Directions

How To Find Us:

The Walnut, Willow Tree Holidays, Lower Street, Happisburgh, NR12 0RS
What3Words location:  ///fruity.cherubs.repaid

The Walnut is in the small hamlet of Happisburgh Common, approximately 1 mile from the coast.

From the A149 Stalham – Wroxham road, take the B1159 towards Bacton. Follow signs to Happisburgh. Just after East Ruston church on the brow of the hill, turn right down Vicarage Road and go past the internationally famous East Ruston Vicarage Gardens (well worth a visit!)  At the end of this road is a T junction, turn right here.   About 200 metres on your left, opposite the flint house turn down the drive.  Stay on the right hand side, going past cottages and then turn right through the 5 bar gate.

 


There is a sign at the end of the gravel track you will need to come up saying ‘Willow Farm’ to the left and ‘Willow Farm Cottage’ and ‘The Walnut’ with an arrow to the right but if you have any problem at all finding us just ring our mobile (07747 698 487) and we can direct you in!

Guestbook

"A true Gem in the Norfolk countryside, we really couldn't have found a more wonderful peaceful retreat. Just beautiful. This was an incredible experience from time of booking to arriving back home following our holiday. Thank you Sue in the first instance for all your help and to admin for rectifying my boo-boo! The Walnut is superbly located in the most stunning scenic location. Paul and Stella were there to greet us and then left us to our own devices. Detached cottage with outside secure patio for our hounds and our peace of mind as 'Houdini' aka Josie the Basset, is a true escape artist ....not this time!! Parking right outside the property for ease of access and a secure dog field for early morning playtime and sniffs. Stunning open views across the countryside, completely dark at night for incredible stargazing. What a first impression, a real credit to Stella and Paul and to ERC for having this on their books!"

"On entering, we were surprised they were Dog Friendly....it's unlike any other dog friendly holiday we've had. The property is beautifully decorated, stunning fixtures and fittings throughout, luxury for all and to think they actually welcome dogs! A delightful welcome pack for both hoomans and hounds - delicious. All our needs were met with sumptuous linen, towels and decor whilst the hounds had their own stash of towels, toys, throws and treats...even poop bags too. Thought of everything and we so appreciated this, in the past we have settled for mediocre accommodation as we always take our dogs but this was something else."

"Great walks from the doorstep, the beach is only a good walk away or 5 mins in the car, easy access to supermarket and ideally located for touring around. We love birdwatching and visited several sights, glorious sand dunes and extensive marsh land, walks along the various broads, couple of woodland walks too (Bacton Woods is out of this world and is minutes away by car - take a picnic) Couple of really lovely food pubs close by, the Lighthouse and Star Inn both lovely food and great service. There are takeaways too in the local village. We are so lucky to have had the privilege of spending time here .... completely flawless. Huge thanks Paul and Stella xxx"

"My friend and I and our four dogs (three Greyhounds and a Pointer) had a lovely stay at The Walnut. Right from the moment you drove through the gates, you could see The Walnut ahead of you and what a fab property it is. The owners Stella and Paul should be extremely proud, especially Paul who did the build. The booklet showing the transformation of an old farm building to The Walnut was very interesting. Paul even had USB power points added around the property and there are plenty of sockets (you can never have too many sockets)."

"The beds and Egyptian cotton bedding were divine. The whole property had lovely touches of style and everything was high spec. Stella and Paul were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. I had requested a summer duvet and a fan and both were provided. The welcome hamper was scrummy and the dogs loved their biscuits. Our dogs relaxed the minute we put the supplied throws on the sofas. At one point we thought we would have to sit on the floor. If you want a beautiful property, in beautiful quiet surroundings, then The Walnut is for you. Sue Dyer and friend and dogs."

"Thank you so much Paul and Stella for such a warm welcome to your stunning and beautiful property. The Walnut has been finished to an extremely high standard with fabulous attention to detail. Everything about our stay has been perfect, even the weather! Our stay has been warm and cosy with the added luxury of the hot tub to enjoy, both during the sunny afternoons as well as under the clear night sky. Thank you too for the fabulous welcome goodies as well as the thoughtful extras in the dog basket. Very best wishes and hope to see you again in the future."

"Thank you for a lovely stay in your beautiful cottage. We loved everything about it from the moment we arrived. We can't wait to come back. Wishing you every success with 'The Walnut.'
Best Wishes from Jim, Vanessa, Archie and Pippa xx
P.S. The welcome goodies were wonderful, just about everything needed to start a good break."

 

 

 

"Our first time at Hidden Gem but not East Ruston Cottages.   The cottage is absolutely wonderful and has a very homely feel.  We have had a really relaxing holiday in a stunning location and Hidden Gem is like a home from home.  The beach and dunes are beautiful and the garden has been perfect for our two hounds!  A very dog friendly holiday cottage. All the extra little touches and the welcome gifts have been much appreciated!  We will definitely be back!! "

"Thank you so much for allowing us to be your first guests in Corner Cottage. My first impression was "WOW!". The cottage is amazing, you have thought of everything (even supplied fantastic weather!). The decoration is lovely, beds so comfortable. It was so nice to be able to bring the dogs so they could have a holiday with us and experience the beach for the first time."
