Escape to the Suffolk coast with family and furry friends when you choose this cosy cottage with beautiful views. Set within a holiday park, guests are welcome to make use of the on-site bar, restaurant and children’s play area when they’re not splashing in the surf on the dog-friendly shingle beach nearby. Sleeping four, this bungalow is a home from home for the whole family, with its spacious accommodation, enclosed garden full of interesting smells and private hot tub.

Perfect for couples, children and dogs alike, you will find plenty of space to run around, relax and enjoy a well-deserved snooze in this generous home. Rustle up delicious meals in the kitchen/diner, where you will find all the essentials together with a good-sized dining table. After long days on foot, curl up on the cosy L-shaped sofa and catch up on your favourite TV shows or enjoy a snuggle with your tired pooch. At one end of the property is a spacious king-size bedroom with dual aspect views and plenty of storage space while at the other is a cosy twin that’s ideal for children. After a refreshing shower in the large wet room, enjoy breakfast alfresco in the generous enclosed garden while the dogs sniff out new and interesting smells on the lawn.

Set within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this area is a popular choice among walkers, cyclists, wildlife lovers and of course canine companions. Nature lovers will delight in RSPB Minsmere, just a 2-mile walk away, which is also a fantastic location for scenic walks and cycle rides. Seaside loving dogs and owners should head straight for the dog-friendly shingle stretch at Dunwich Beach. Meanwhile, 11 miles away in both directions, the popular towns of Southwold and Aldeburgh both offer beautiful beaches, welcoming pubs and boutique shops for buying your faithful friend a keepsake from his travels.

Clean and comfortable. Location would have great had the restaurant been open. Meant we had to eat really early or go out down country lanes in the dark. Loved the bunnies who visited us each day!

We had another relaxing stay at Holly Tree Cottage situated close to the restaurant, bar, shop, and beach. The enclosed garden allows dogs to have a wander. The hot tub is great for relaxing in the evening. We would recommend staying at Holly Tree Cottage for a safe relaxing break. We would recommend Holly Tree Cottage

Great location for the beach which was so peaceful and quiet even in the height of summer although we were there at 9.30 am. Super garden and lots of space in the cottage itself. We chose this as we wanted to be close to Dunwhich and in close proximity to Southwold. It ticked both boxes. Brilliant holiday park with a super play area and bar/restaurRead moreant. The beds were not comfortable and could really do with replacing rather than just adding mattress toppers. Overall a great holiday. Hide

We stayed the last weekend of half term. The cottage was warm and inviting, well set out and had everything we needed. The site has a small shop with local produce and a restaurant/bar (precooked your table as it gets busy and dogs are allowed in). The enclosed garden - and visiting bunnies - kept our 2 small dogs occupied with all the new sniffs. Read moreThe cottage is well set out both a double bed one end and a twin bedroom the other end.

+A wonderful place very beautiful. Great accommodation, helpful staff on site, shop and bar. Brilliant for taking dogs, many walks nearby. Great for spotting deer & other wildlife. +Bathroom & accommodation suitable for a wheelchair but not the grounds, nor down the steps to the beach as these are stony/steep.

Overall the property was described, the restaurant/bar was great and the staff we met were really attentive and always looked to do a good job. Please dont expect phone signal so you will need to have WiFi enable calls for anything to work. This could be a good or bad thing depending how addicted to technology you are. :)

The cottage was clean and comfortable- the beds were wonderful. But the cottage seems to be placed almost in the car park which could be noisy. Dustmen, ale deliveries etc started at 6.45 in the morning so was very disturbing. Fork lift truck started at 6.30 outside bedroom window. But the hot tub is amazing, fully checked by staff twice a day. BeaRead morech on doorstep. Restaurant always booked so be aware. We never got in there.

A well equipped cottage in an excellent position close to the beach and Dunwich Heath. Lots of walks from the site without having to use the car all the time. Really enjoyed the hot tub and the large garden was excellent for our two dogs. There is a small shop on site which is useful. We used the bar and restaurant on a couple of occasions. On the Read moreone occasion that we ate there the food was good. Would definitely recommend Holly Tree Cottage to friends and family and hope to visit again soon. Hide
