The cottage was delightful-very clean, warm and well equipped. It was a nice little walk into Southwold which we loved and the shop at the end of the road was wonderful- selling good quality food and open late. Jill, (Stayed October 2023)
Great location, 15 min walk to the beach and 10 min walk to the high street. House is clean and has everything needed for any house guest (family or non family). Loads to do in Southwold…beach, walks, cafes, shops, cycle. Loads to do outside of the town too…walberswick beach, snape maltings, dunwich. All worth a visit. Would definitely go back! Shuma, (Stayed September 2023)
We really enjoyed our stay. A perfect little cottage, perfect for a small family. Nicely located, just a 15 minute walk into Southwold. Plus there is a nice footpath to the beach. Mark, (Stayed August 2023)
Easy walkable distance into Southwold. Great well-stocked shop on the corner. Clean. Be wary of steep stairs though. Had a great stay, thank you. Diana, (Stayed August 2023)
Simmons Cottage is definitely worth the stay if visiting Southwold. It’s a home from home experience with beautiful white bed linen and comfy beds. Everything worked as expected and the kitchen is very well stocked with pots and pans etc. We cooked every evening and had no problems. The cottage itself is a mixture of old and new and we loved the quirkiness of it. A very quiet location and only a 10 min walk to beach or town. Local shop is a god send too. Would absolutely recommend! Jo, (Stayed August 2023)
The plan behind our stay was to show our son the British Seaside. Southwold definitely delivered, we had an amazing time and Simmons Cottage was a perfect base camp. It’s a beautifully kept, well equipped cottage which ticked all our boxes. The kids toys were a fantastic bonus! The cottage is just far enough away to be quiet but close enough for us to walk into town, visit the beach and enjoy everything the village has to offer. We would definitely recommend this cottage to others and hope to visit again in the future. Thanks Veronika, (Stayed July 2023)
Lovely cottage , short walk to southwold, great local shop, close to bus stop, comfortable beds, lovely garden and street parking. Jean, (Stayed June 2023)
A beautiful cottage just a 10 minute walk from the town. We spent days on the nearby beach and pier as well as browsing Southwolds lovely shops and cafès. The cottage was spotlessly clean and cosy, we spent hours reading in the quiet garden. Perfect relaxing week for us and our two boys. Will definitely be going back again. Jodie , (Stayed August 2022)
Beautiful cottage, perfect location for exploring Southwold. Well equipped and excellent communication from the owners. Hannah, (Stayed June 2022)
Really nice, well equipped house. Comfortable beds, plenty of space and very clean. Great location for our break by the sea. Jonathan, (Stayed April 2022)
We love the cottage and were so pleased when we arrived as it felt so homely and was exceptionally clean! The size and location of the property were ideal and it was fully equipped with everything that we needed! There were some added bonuses for us too like a dressing area and two showers! The shop at the end of the road was so convenient and stocked some amazing local fresh food! We would love to return and will definitely recommend to others. Carl, (Stayed November 2021)
Stayed for four nights in mid-September with two other people. We all enjoyed staying here and agreed that the home was clean and fit for purpose. It only took approximately 15/20 mins to walk to Southwold pier, which is as good as you can expect. The pictures taken also give an accurate representation of the house. Check-in was made easy as the information was provided in advance. Communication was good and all those involved with the running of the property were friendly and helpful. An information booklet had been provided which contained all the information we needed. We did not need to contact anyone to ask questions during our stay, which is always a good sign. I would recommend this place to anyone who may be thinking of visiting Southwold or the surrounding areas. Thanks for having us! Phil, (Stayed September 2021)
Great house with a fantastic kitchen and garden for evening al-fresco dining & drinking. The location was perfect for exploring Southwold and Suffolk in general! Would recommend, thanks :) Rosie, (Stayed September 2021)

Lovely well equipped cottage within easy walk of Southwold town and beach. Should you need one there is a bus stop very close by too. Particularly loved the “bedknobs and broomsticks” bed! Philippa, (Stayed October 2020)
“Great place in a great location - was perfect for our family holiday with kids 6 & 8.” Tom, (Stayed August 2020)
This is a stylish period property with a lovely kitchen and back garden. Small but cosy and secluded. It is also within reasonable walking distance of Southwold Pier Marc, (Stayed July 2020)
“We had a lovely stay at Cottage Tree. Couldn't fault the house itself, very clean throughout and spacious for our young family. It's really well equipped compared to other rentals we've used (children's tableware, highchair, cot, good pots and pans, washing machine, cleaning products etc etc all provided). As others have noted the kitchen opening into the little garden is a really great feature, we loved having our meals and coffees sitting outside after a hot tiring day out at the beach. The location is a little bit far to walk to and from Southwold for our kids, but easy enough for sure for grown ups and bigger children (15 mins or so to the seaside). We had some internet problems during our stay but Chris was quick to pick up the phone and help. Overall really happy we chose Cottage Tree, thank you for a great staycation!” Sylvia, (Stayed July 2020)
“This is a really lovely cottage, with great facilities and a fab little garden. It is a 15 minute walk to the beach, and is also close to a good shop and local pub. We really enjoyed our stay.” Clare, (Stayed July 2020)
We really enjoyed our stay in Simmons Cottage, it was very clean and incredibly well equipped Elizabeth, (Stayed July 2020)
Wonderfully clean cottage and very well equipped. Good location for Southwold and for walking around the area, with many footpaths close to the house. We used the local shop at the end of the road, which was well stocked & friendly. Outdoor area was lovely, but unfortunately was too cold for us to sit outside Anne, (Stayed March 2020)
This cosy cottage is in perfect location to explore Southwold and the surrounding areas. The cottage is clean and comfortable with everything you need for a stay. The board games were welcomed on our rainy days! It’s so well equipped, even plates, cups and cutlery for the kids which was so helpful. The cottage is in a quiet street and there’s a Londis right at the end of the street for your essentials. We will definitely be back in the spring/summer to enjoy Southwold at its best Claire, (Stayed November 2019)

“Great cottage a short walk from the centre of Southwold.” Sarah, (Stayed July 2019)
We had the most fantastic stay! The house is beautiful and the perfect location for a stroll to the beach and then into Southwold. It was great having 2 showers and the wet room downstairs was a pleasant surprise. Having a Londis at the bottom of the street was really useful. We would definitely stay again as the house is wonderful and the kitchen going into the garden is so lovely to have breakfast at in the morning.” Benedict’s private feedback for you: “I just wanted to say a huge thanks. We had the most wonderful stay Benedict, (Stayed July 2019)

We loved our stay at Simmons Cottage. It was spotlessly clean, well decorated, nicely furnished and extremely comfortable beds. The garden area is lovely too and a great place to relax. Simmons cottage is probably the best holiday let we have stayed in! Jacqueline, (Stayed July 2018)

Everything was spotless, it was well equipped, the beds so very comfortable and the bedding and towels luxurious. We spent early mornings and evenings in the garden - a perfect sun trap. We had everything we needed to make our stay very enjoyable. Thank you very much!” Jeanette, (Stayed June 2018)

Lovely, comfortable cottage just 15 minutes walk from Southwold pier. We enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. The garden was well sheltered and sunny and we were able to sit outside despite a very blowy few days. The kitchen was well equipped and the skylight windows and French doors made it a lovely place to sit when it was too cold to be outdoors. The beds were comfortable and the showers powerful.
