What a lovely little gem! If you want peace and quiet, with a cosy feel and do not mind jumping in your car to get provisions or a place to eat out, then Little house on the common is just the place to relax and unwind.It is also in a central location to visit the surrounding attractions. We shopped at Diss, went walking in Thetford Forest, enjoyed a day at Southwold( wonderful seaside town) even spent an afternoon watching the Jets take off from Lakenheath.Would definitely stay at The Little House on the Common again, a big thank you to the owners for making our trip so delightful.

Overall nice accommodation but we booked as it said dog friendly.
Overall nice accommodation but we booked as it said dog friendly. Unfortunately the garden wasn't enclosed which meant we had to put the dogs on a lead to take them out for toilets. Which was a pain when it was raining and late at night. If there could be an enclosed garden, this would have been ideal.
