The Old Sweet Shop

Extremely comfortable, every item you could wish for. Cleanliness... Immaculate. Wonderful place to stay.

Just a gem of a place. We were so lucky to find this over the long weekend . Dog friendly too. Appreciate the enclosed garden space. The hot tub was delightful after a long day of hiking. Clean and well looked after.

Everything was great. Taller guests may need to really mind their head going between rooms :)

Absolutely amazing. The cottage was immaculately clean. We loved the cosiness and Christmas decorations. A great place to eat is The Old Ship Aground, a short walk away. The hot tub was great and added a special touch. Communication from the owners was fabulous and they were always on hand to help. The beds were comfy and the fireplace was easy to use. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Nothing

It was perfect! Our first Christmas with our grandson Rory – four generations celebrating together. Everything about the cottage has been thought about with us in mind – we asked for nothing, it was perfect. Thank you to all, especially for working over Christmas.”

Nothing!

Incredible attention to detail

There wasn't anything

The house felt so homely. Super layout with plenty of room for us all. Kitchen was really well equipped. Everything was so lovely. The hot tub was a bonus and the garden was secure for the dogs. Lovely touches, like dog bowls and beds. Made them feel at home too. Loads of dog friendly beaches to walk all within easy reach.

Nothing too say other than it was all fab!

Enjoyed our time in this lovely cottage. Everything had been thought of and the hot tub was so relaxing. Thank you

From the moment we booked to the time we checked out, nothing was too much trouble for Lucy and her team, who went out of their way to ensure we had an amazing stay. The Old Sweet Shop was spotless, welcoming, and full of thoughtful touches. It has a wonderfully homely feel – we especially loved the collection of teddies and artwork, which added charm and character throughout the cottage. The vintage sweet advertisements were a lovely nod to the cottage’s history, which we also enjoyed reading about. The kitchen was very well equipped, including a lovely range cooker that was perfect for our Sunday roast. We also loved the big wooden dining table – ideal for gathering together as a family to eat, chat, and unwind. The garden is lovely, and the hot tub was the perfect way to relax in the evenings. The area surrounding The Old Sweet Shop is truly stunning! We had a fantastic time exploring Bossington, Minehead, Lynton, and The Valley of the Rocks. It was the perfect setting for our extended family holiday – especially meaningful as our late Dad and our Aunt used to holiday in nearby Bossington over 70 years ago. We also enjoyed browsing several fantastic independent shops and appreciated the cottage’s thoughtful eco-friendly touches, which inspired us to visit ‘Our Precious Earth’ in Minehead. For anyone needing gluten/wheat-free food, Seaview Takeaway in Minehead comes highly recommended. A huge thank you for a 5 star stay – we hope to return!

Everything was pretty much perfect! The only slight negative is that the garden isn't accessible for those with mobility challenges. However the downstairs bedroom with patio doors straight onto the driveway, is a great for access.
