From the owner

The Old Sweet Shop is a quintessential chocolate box cottage - with a hot tub! Sleeping eight, there are high-quality furnishings, bedding, and linen. The cottage is spacious and light and has retained many historical features including the original bay sweet shop window. The large kitchen/dining room is perfect for socializing. It has a range cooker, high-spec appliances and plenty of work and storage space. A sweeping staircase, thick stone walls, beams, and a fireplace sit alongside fast Wi-Fi. The four comfortable bedrooms each have their own bathrooms. They are named after favourite sweets - Marshmallow, Lemon Drop, Strawberry Sherbet and Refresher. Each has high-quality Hypnos or hotel standard matresses. The pretty garden has furniture for al fresco dining. Family and dog-friendly. On-site parking for two cars. VisitEngland five-star gold rated. In July 2023 we were awarded the prestigious Rose Award for the quality of our Customer Service and Welcome.

Lucy and team welcomed the first guests in February 2018 after a sympathetic restoration project lasting almost two years. The cottage has been under the same ownership and management ever since. Check out Exmoor Character Cottages .co .uk for more information.

Interaction with guest

Guests can reach me at any time via phone, WhatsApp or email with questions before booking or once booked. About three weeks before your stay, I will email you to organise a pre-arrival call where we cover parking, hot tub, key safe code, arrival info and anything else you want to check (where to eat etc.). In the meantime, there is a lot of info on activities on our website - Exmoor Character Cottages. co. uk. Guests who arrive at The Old Sweet Shop and will be using the hot tub always have an in-person Hot Tub Demo with one of our team. We find this is the easiest way to help you get the most use from it. We do not disturb you during your stay but are always on-hand if you need anything.

    Catherine, what a wonderful review, thank you for taking the time to post it. We are so pleased you had a lovely Easter stay with us in Exmoor and made use of the hot tub and garden and used the Little Book of Walks for inspiration of things to do. We appreciate your comments on the kitchen and toiletries, and eco-efforts. We hope to welcome you again one day, best wishes Lucy and the team

    It was a pleasure to welcome you to The Old Sweet Shop and to see you looking so well. I think it is fair to describe it as an emotional journey as there was a time when I know you thought you wouldn't make it. It's great to meet someone so enthused by the area and by history too and I look forward to welcoming you and your family and friends back to our cottages in the future. I'm sure there are many happy holidays to come! Best wishes Lucy
