PEOPLE don’t seem to just like East Ruston Cottages – or ERC as its veteran guests refer to it for short. They love it. Really love it.
The one thing uniting them all? Dogs. Every one of them is a pet owner.
And like dogs with a bone, they can’t seem to let go of this agency for dog-friendly cottages in coastal and rural Norfolk.
They don’t just come once. Or twice. Some have booked upward of 30 times over the last decade.
So, what makes these cottages so special? Well, after I check in for a few days at the four-person Farthing Cottage, in the village of Trunch, between the coast and Norfolk Broads, it’s easy to see.
The semi-detached, flint-stone cottage, set back from a quiet residential road, is a delight.
There are paw-print stickers padding across the patio doors inviting my Manchester Terrier, Arty, out into the fully enclosed garden.
There’s also a welcome hamper with treats for humans as well as a mini-hamper for the dog, with Norfolk-made dog treats, a collapsible bowl, a clip-on light for visibility in the dark and a poo-bag holder.
The shelf in the hallway has a tin of dog treats and a jar full of dog tags with the cottage address on one side and a “I’m on holiday” notice on the other.
And on the hooks by the front door, there’s even a bag with “I need space” lead labels to borrow from Yellow Dog UK, made for anxious or reactive dogs that don’t want to be approached by others when roaming the local footpaths.
The owners, it seems, really have thought of everything, and to my delight they’ve not left a list of rules my dog must follow.
We spend our days roaming on the local dog-friendly beaches at Mundesley and Trimingham, and evenings curled up on the sofas with the fire blazing.
The local social club (also dog-friendly) has a beer festival on, so I drink local ales and listen to live music before retiring to the cottage, where Arty is allowed to snooze on the bed with me, just as he does at home.
If you are stuck for things to do in the local area, this can be quickly remedied with a visit to the ERC Facebook page.
Regular visitors lurk on the company’s Facebook group, which has a bewildering 6,000 members, ready to pounce with recommendations of nearby pubs, beaches or fish and chip shops.
After years of staying at dog-friendly accommodation and writing dog-friendly guidebooks, few places can match up to the efforts made by East Ruston Cottages.
I’m no longer surprised by the fact that the company’s most popular properties, such as The Lookout which has a sea view, are booked right through until 2026 in some cases.
And while I’m not about to join the congregation of impassioned Facebook followers, I will no doubt be returning for more.
Fair City star Killian O’Sullivan left fans gushing after he shared a photo from his sister’s wedding.
The actor is best known for his role as Lorcan Foley in the hit RTE soap.
Killian married his longtime love Debbie McQuillan in a stunning ceremony in 2022.
Surrounded by their loved ones, the pair tied the knot with his loved ones in the Westbury Hotel.
Late last month, Killian’s younger sister got hitched in a beautiful ceremony.
A few weeks after they were wed, Killian took to his Instagram to share a photo from the day.
The TV star looked as happy as ever while he posed for an outdoor snap.
He pointed to the camera and held hands with his wife Debbie for the photo.
For the occasion, Killian looked dapper in a grey suit that he paired with a white shirt.
His wife looked effortlessly beautiful in a sleek brown dress and she also donned a pair of sunnies for the snap.
Gushing over his little sister’s big day, he wrote: “The craic was had. What a wedding! @paulbyrom & @catbyrom_mckeown.”
Friends and fans raced to his comment section to gush over the happy couple.
His sister, Cat said: “Class, let’s all go back please asap.”
Paul commented: “10/10 energy from you guys.”
Another fan added: “Sick.”
Recently, one of Killian’s Fair City co-stars hit out at “snobs” who look down at the hit soap
In a strong defence of the popular series, the actress added: “Not everything on TV is for everyone.”
Roxanna first joined the hit soap in 2018 as fan favourite Erica Allen and across her near seven-year stint on the show she has had many memorable moments – most notably her on-screen relationship with Doug, played by Wesley Doyle.
And the Dublin native has opened up about her life outside of acting and her thoughts on people who are critical of the soap.
Speaking to RSVP she said: “There are a lot of snobs out there but I don’t care because there are so many people who love it and look forward to watching it. Not everything on TV is for everyone.
“So many people are invested in the show and the storylines. People will come up to me and tell me that I need to ‘tell Pete to f off’, or tell me that I need to ‘stop giving out to Doug’. But it’s always with good intentions. People like Erica; she’s not a villain.”
SHANE Richie has revealed that EastEnders has saved lives following his powerful prostate cancer storyline.
The actor, 61, loveable Alfie Moon in the BBC One soap, embarked on the hard-hitting storyline nearly two years ago, to raise vital awareness and encourage more men to get checked out.
One in eight men will get prostate cancer in their lifetime, according to Prostate UK, who along with Macmillan Cancer Support, worked with Shane and the EastEnders writing team on the storyline.
And now, the popular actor and entertainer, reveals the huge impact Alfie’s cancer story has had.
He said: “I was going to events, men my age were coming up to me, but mostly women, wives saying ‘thank you so much for covering that storyline, because my husband, my brother… they don’t want to go to the doctors.’
“One guy in particular, and I don’t personally take credit for saving his life, but that storyline did.
“He got checked. His daughter was a big EastEnders fan, and just quite casually said, come on, we love Alfie, you should go and get checked and he did just to appease his daughter.
“He found out he had prostate cancer but it was at the early stages, had it left in any longer it could have been fatal. So if we just save one life, that’s the power of soaps.”
This week viewers will see Alfie once again struggle with intimacy, a common side effect of his cancer treatment, as he prepares to marry Kat, actress Jessie Wallace, 53, for a third time.
Shane filmed the emotional scenes before going off on an extended break where he spent a month touring with best mates, Bradley Walsh, Brian Conley and Joe Pasquale.
Dubbed The Prat Pack! the quartet performed all over the country, and provided Shane with a welcomed respite from Alfie’s cancer story.
Shane said: “It was one of the most brilliant experiences I’ve had in a long time.
“EastEnders are brilliant at letting me go off. I did a lot of stuff before I became Alfie so they’re very accommodating, hopefully again next year I’ll do the same thing, another tour.”
Shane also revealed how they turned down a big money deal from streaming giant Netflix to film the tour.
He said: “We got approached by Netflix to go behind the scenes, and we were like, not a hope in hell!.”
Symptoms of prostate cancer can include:
Source: NHS
Explaining how they weren’t tempted by the offer he said: “No, because once we do it the gags are gone. Maybe in five years time if we’re all still alive we may do it.”
Shane was speaking on the red carpet at the British Soap Awards where EastEnders scooped eight gongs. Fans can watch the ceremony on ITVX.
