Accommodation
The sitting room has a large fireplace with a wood burning stove. Look carefully and you’ll see the burns shaped like pear drops on the large wooden mantelpiece. These ancient marks were made when a hot poker, taken straight from the open fire, was used to stir cider (a “hot toddy”). There are charming mullion lead-framed windows with comfy window seats as well as two sumptuous sofas and armchairs. You’ll also find a large flat screen TV with Sky, Netflix and Blu-ray DVD player, Bluetooth speaker and choice of films, books, jigsaws, games and toys to keep you occupied.
There are four tastefully decorated double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Antique furniture, high-quality mattresses and furnishings, and crisp bedding and soft towels complement the décor of each room – all of which have a confectionery theme. Choose from Marshmallow, Lemon Drop, Strawberry Sherbet or Refresher! Upstairs, Marshmallow, a luxurious king bedroom, is a large airy room with a stunning en-suite bathroom with a roll top bath. Lemon Drop is our twin room with an en-suite with shower. Downstairs, Strawberry Sherbet, a double, is the original shop. It retains the distinctive bay window which we decorate with seasonal displays. Refresher has a gorgeous king four poster bed, large shower and lots of light.
With views into the garden, the spacious kitchen/diner has a large range cooker, high-spec appliances and oodles of work and storage space. Perfect for family gatherings, the dining area has a large oak table that seats eight comfortably. This is an enjoyable, sociable space where you can cook and chat, play games or enjoy afternoon tea. The utility room houses a washing machine, tumble-drier and sizeable fridge/freezer. You’ll find a high chair and vacuum too.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean. It has everything required for a family holiday. The beds are comfortable and the hot tub is a plus. It is a short walk down into Minehead and a short drive up to North Hill and Bossington Hill where there are scenic walks a plenty. Highly recommended.

We love everything about The Old Sweet Shop, all the little touches have made our stay so enjoyable. Everything is so clean and there is everything you could need. The garden is so lovely, we couldn’t each area in such a just a weekend. The location is great, we explored the church and it’s just a short walk to the high street and esplanade. We definitely recommend staying and are looking forward to our next excuse to visit. Lucy, you should be so proud of this property and thank you so much for all your advice about the surrounding area – and the chocolate cake!”
