This attractive terraced cottage is ideal for a small family or group of friends to enjoy a coastal break together. Sitting pretty right in the centre of Southwold, the house is close to the beach and all of the town’s amenities. This is a traditional seaside town with a long sandy beach backed by brightly painted beach huts, a pier with all sorts of entertainment and an historic listed lighthouse. It’s an old market town too and there are many charming streets and greens to stroll through, as well as a good range of shops, cafes and restaurants. Southwold’s other claim to fame is that it was home to the famous writer George Orwell for some 20 years. The town lies within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so there are lots of lovely walks to enjoy in the area.

The cottage is cheerful and welcoming with a cosy living room that features an attractive ornamental fireplace with a large mirror over it, adding depth to the room. A compact kitchen provides a fun place to dine at the wooden table, and there’s a lovely display cupboard which is home to a range of pretty crockery. The back door opens from the kitchen/diner to the courtyard garden. This a private and tranquil space to spend an evening al fresco dining. The bathroom boasts seaside touches and has a shower over the bath and a heated towel rail. Up a cottage-style flight of stairs, guests will find a fresh and airy double bedroom, with a charming coastal flavour and its own sink. A twin bedroom with wooden furniture and neutral tones completes this lovely holiday retreat.

Outside the sheltered courtyard is set up with a table and chairs. It is fully fenced in and gets the sun for much of the day. This is a nice spot to enjoy your morning coffee with the paper or for afternoon drinks in the open air.

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

We really enjoyed staying in this cottage. The only negative being that there is no toilet upstairs

We had a lovely week. The cottage was cosy, comfortable and well equipped and ir was nice to be able to sit out in the small rear garden. It's only a short walk to shops, pubs and the beach.

Such a lovely cosy cottage in a perfect location. We had a wonderful Christmas in Cygnet Cottage. The cottage has everything you need and was very clean. Perfect for a couple and our small dog.
