We had just arrived, Wiped the floor as split water and the amount of dirt that come if the Floor are very dirty. Windows are Dirty. Bedding had a horrible damp smell to them. Poo stains in the loo. Must of seen the cleaner and she was Very Rude to us.

A great little bolt hole to house us for a weekend's wedding over at the Tythe Barn. A small-but-perfectly-formed cottage was big enough for 4 adults and a baby and with a nicely placed sun terrace which we got to enjoy on our last day.

Rated by Mr Stage reviewed on 22nd May 2016

The cottage was warm, comfortable and a pleasant place to return to after a day out. The cottage was ideally situated to enable us to access the places we wished to visit and this combined with the lovely area made for a very enjoyable break.

Rated by Mrs Pollard reviewed on 6th March 2016

The Cygnet is a beautiful cottage, we were made most welcome by the owner. We will definitely book this cottage again, highly recommended!

Rated by Miss Tomlinson reviewed on 29th November 2015

This is a small compact cottage, with everything that is needed for a family holiday. Being rather tall I found difficulty in the bathroom with the low sloping ceiling. The settee and chairs in the lounge appear to be rather dated and were not the most comfortable. The owner put a nice welcome gift(cake & cider) in the kitchen/diner for us and a bottle of milk in the fridge with tea bags as well.

Rated by BobB09 reviewed on 7th April 2015

The wood burner provided a cosy atmosphere in winter. Location ideally met our requirements and enjoyed the New Year celebrations with local people. The owner of the cottage provided excellent help and access to facilities.

Rated by Mr White reviewed on 5th January 2015

Excellent welcome from the owner who had thought of everything that we might need. A very well equipped and cosy cottage.

Rated by Mr Walsh reviewed on 18th October 2014

We had a marvellous time, the host family couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be going back next year.

Rated by Mrs Day reviewed on 20th September 2014

We were given so much privacy although living next door to the owners, we knew they were on hand if we needed them. Although on a busy country road, It was very peaceful day and night. There were lots of books to read, big comfy chairs and a lovely patio - a real sun-trap.

Rated by Mrs Taylor reviewed on 15th September 2014

Lovely cottage, very comfortable and had everything we needed for a family of 4. Easily accessible to lots of local attractions and beaches.

The cottage was lovely, area beautiful and weather fabulous. Looking forward to next year.

Rated by Ms Andrews reviewed on 2nd September 2013

The cottage was excellent, very clean and had everything we needed and some really nice extras. The village itself was in a great location, about 40 minutes from Lyme Regis which has a lovely beach, but also not that far from Weymouth either.

Rated by Mrs Cooper reviewed on 25th August 2013

Greeted by the owner, a lovely lady who was very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. The property was amazingly spacious and well appointed. Nice presents on arrival. Great location for Somerset, Dorset, Devon. Lots of local Pubs/Restaurants to choose from. The only criticism is that the road that passes is very busy a.m. and p.m.

Rated by A FlipKey verified reviewer reviewed on 20th August 2013

The cottage was beautiful, clean and very comfortable. There was a good selection of tourist information leaflets from which we selected our days out. The cottage was perfectly based to explore a wide range of destinations in Somerset, Dorset and Devon.

The cottage felt like a home-from-home. The location gave access to a number of interesting venues.

The cottage was fantastic, just what we wanted and imagined. The location was excellent, not very far to travel to all the attractions near by.

A warm and friendly welcome to a lovely and beautifully looked after little property. The Cygnet is perfectly situated to explore Somerset, Dorset and South Devon and all they have to offer. We shall definitely be recommending this property to our friends and family.

Rated by Mr Sinden reviewed on 20th May 2013

This property is ideal, the cottage itself is well furnished and had everything we needed. The cottage is in a quiet location but Crewkerne is very close if you need to anything. The location is superb with many attractions nearby. We found that we did not have to travel far and there is plenty to do in the area.

Great welcome and owners went out of their way to help us enjoy our stay.

Rated by Miss Northing reviewed on 4th April 2013

Our holiday was wonderful. The Cygnet is an adorable little cottage with everything you could need for a break in the countryside. The family that owns the Cygnet lives right next door as well so any questions were easy to sort out immediately. They were really lovely and even brought us a bottle of local cider and fresh eggs from their chickens. It was a very cozy and wonderful Christmas at the Cygnet.

Rated by Ms Saltman reviewed on 29th December 2012

Very convenient base to explore Devon, Dorset and Somerset. Cottage was perfect, hosts were very friendly and helpful but not imposing. Plenty of tourist information provided by hosts to read at our leisure.
