Charming thatched cottage sleeping eight in Minehead’s Old Town

The Old Sweet Shop is a characterful, thatched cottage full of warmth, history and personality. Sleeping up to eight guests, it’s a wonderfully sociable place to stay, ideal for families and friends who enjoy spending time together in a relaxed, comfortable setting. The cottage also benefits from private on-site parking for two cars, making arrivals and day trips easy and stress-free.

At the heart of the cottage is the large kitchen and dining room — a light, welcoming space designed for shared meals, conversation and long, unhurried evenings. The farmhouse table easily seats everyone, making it perfect for group breakfasts, celebratory dinners or simply gathering with a glass of wine after a day out. The kitchen is well equipped for proper cooking and feels very much like the centre of the home.

The living room is cosy and inviting, with exposed beams, thick stone walls and a wood-burning stove that makes it especially appealing in cooler months. It’s a space to slow down, read, chat or enjoy a film together at the end of the day.

The cottage sleeps eight across four individually styled bedrooms, each with its own character. From the four-poster king room to the light-filled twin and the king bedroom with roll-top bath, the layout works well for mixed groups who want both privacy and comfort. Quality mattresses, good storage and solid construction ensure a restful night’s sleep throughout.

Outside, the private enclosed garden offers space to relax and unwind. The hot tub is a real highlight, perfect for evening soaks after exploring the coast or countryside, while the garden provides a peaceful setting for outdoor meals or a quiet coffee in the morning.

Set in Minehead’s old town conservation area, The Old Sweet Shop enjoys a calm, tucked-away feel while still being within easy walking distance of the town, beach and harbour. Exmoor National Park, coastal walks and charming villages are all close by, making it an excellent base for exploring the area.

The Old Sweet Shop is dog friendly, family friendly and thoughtfully equipped for comfortable stays. It’s a place designed for slowing down, spending time together and enjoying the simple pleasures of a beautifully restored historic home.
