The Little Blue House is a delightful and quaint cottage situated in the heart of the popular coastal town of Southwold. Being only several yards from both the beach and the high street it is the perfect location for any couple or small family looking to come away and enjoy all the wonderful town has to offer.

On entering the property you step into the main living area. Open plan with a sitting area, dining area and kitchen. Newly renovated the property has been furnished to a very high standard offering guests a real high spec finish whilst ensuring comfort and practicality. The sitting area has a large comfy corner sofa in front of a beautiful built in fireplace making this property ideal for winter breaks also. The kitchen area, all newly fitted, has been cleverly designed to offer everything you will need and more to enjoy your self-catering stay. The shower room can also be found on the ground floor with large shower cubicle with both a waterfall shower and hand held option.

Up the traditional winding staircase you will find the two bedrooms. Both bedrooms are furnished to a high standard offering storage for clothing.

To the rear of the property is an enclosed courtyard area with seating for guests to enjoy some al fresco dining. Shop: 50 yards. Pub: 30 yards.

A lovely, compact cottage in a fabulous location, with just about everything you need. Less than a minute from the sea front, a few steps away from a pub, and ice-cream parlour and a fabulous chippy what more could you want? Clean, comfortable and full of character, with a fabulous courtyard that was perfect for the dogs to run about in, and a wondRead moreerful space to sit at the table and read or eat a meal. A really enjoyable stay, thank you. Hide

Perfect location. Very clean and everything you could possibly want was there. Welcome pack was a lovely surprise. The property is small but it works well. Would recommend it and happily stay there again. What's not to like, pub one way, fish and chips the other and ice cream across the road!!
