We had a wonderful stay at Cygnet Cottage. The house is compact but well-equipped, and had everything we needed. Location of the property was fantastic with easy access to both the High Street and the seafront.

This was a small, but very cosy cottage. It was very clean and as well equipped as its size allowed. The location was absolutely superb - for the beach, shops, Church and all our favourite places in Southwold! Would definitely stay there again.

A cute little cottage. The stairs are narrow and steep. Found it a little cold in parts of the property as we were there in December. Bathroom is downstairs. Great location for everything Southwold.

We enjoyed our stay at Cygnet Cottage, it is a perfect location but the cottage is only suitable for people (and their pets) who are fully mobile and able-bodied. The staircase is very steep and not safe for anyone with young children or with mobility issues. One could not safely or easily carry things/children when going downstairs as one needs toRead more hold on to the bannisters at all times. The living room is also somewhat bijou. It is a bit cramped for 4 people. Courtyard garden was nice to sit in for mealtimes. Hide
