10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
The old sweet shop is a great place to stay. Very comfortable with plenty of space and everything you could want.
We really enjoyed the charm of the building.
Only downside is parking and although we parked through the alleyway on the very wet days was a little annoying but manageable. But would still book again for the charm and comfort of the cottage.

The cottage was amazing, extremely clean and the hosts had provided everything you would need. Also a great location, a short drive from many towns
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
We really enjoyed our 5 day stay at The Old Sweet Shop. It is within easy walking distance of the centre of Chipping Norton which is a gorgeous town and there is parking within an quick walk from the cottage. The cottage is warm and cozy and the beds are nice and comfortable, though, as we found out on our travels around the country - a UK king size is only the size of an Australian queen size - so if you are after a bigger bed, which we were, then look out for supersize kings.
Plus a couple of points of feedback :-
1) some of the information in the information folder needs updating and matching to the online version eg. using the TV and how to negotiate the heating and access to firewood. Also with regards to the heating instructions - we found it quite confusing given that we don't have boiler/central heating in Australia so had to rely on Google to try and understand what-was-what in the instructions.
2) Perhaps more regular and thorough inspections by the owners or managing agents to pick up little maintenance/housekeeping issues that the cleaners don't seem to see or report like:-
- the faulty metal standard bedside lamp with its shade adrift from the stand hanging by the electrical wire (which we unplugged as it was very unsafe) and flickering LED lights in the master when using the dimmer
- mould patches forming in the grout in the bathroom
- only 1 toilet roll for 3 people for 5 days
- things stored behind the bedhead that are gathering dust and cobwebs
- lots of clutter eg. broom cupboard, out of date items/food from previous guests crowding the kitchen and bathroom cupboards and draws which were full of unopened junk mail and stuff.

We enjoyed our stay at the Old Sweet Shop.
It is in a nice part of the Cotswolds.
Parking is a bit of an issue
