The first floor living area is a very relaxing space and is bright and spacious with French doors leading on to the balcony with a wrought iron spiral staircase which leads down into the paved garden.  The living area combines the dining area with the comfortable sitting area which also has an attractive fireplace with gas fire, making The Little House a perfect cottage for out of season holidays.

The cottage is in an excellent position close to all the amenities and 5 minutes from the beach. The upside down configuration made the best use of the light and view. We enjoyed our time in Southwold and will return.

A great cottage, in a great location, much bigger than it's name implies, however, it was disappointing not to have had a welcome pack upon arrival, particularly after an almost 9 hour drive.

Fantastic location couldn't be better for the high street etc,nice view over the common from the dining area.Considering how close you are to the high street it's a very quiet spot.

A very comfortable, pratical and atractive house. In a central but quiet position with parking for one car. The living area and well equiped kitchen on the second floor works very well.

We enjoyed our stay at The Little House; the house is lovely and light and we liked the courtyard at the back; location is perfect in the centre of Southwold, although getting in and out of the close in the car could be quite hazardous. We would certainly stay there again.

Lovely well maintained house very conveniently located for all southwold facilities. Clean with excellent self catering facilities. Outside space limited to small balcony (room for 2 chairs and small table) and a dark courtyard which gets very limited sunlight. Very narrow entrance to courtyard parking.
