Perfectly situated in the heart of the picturesque village of Hook Norton, on the edge of the beautiful Cotswolds, with superb walks right from the doorstep and excellent local amenities, all within walking distance, including a local parish church, library and well-stocked general store.

The Victorian brewery is also a lovely day out for guests with guided tours being offered, free beer samples and a visitors centre. The village is just a short distance from the market town of Chipping Norton where you can explore several antique shops, and a wide selection of coffee shops, restaurants and pubs. A short drive will take you to Blenheim Palace at Woodstock, Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford, known as the ’city of dreaming spires’. There are plenty of opportunities for guests to travel a little further and visit one of the many Cotswold towns such as Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water or Morton-in-Marsh. Whilst in Stow pop into the gorgeous Daylesford farm shop owned by Lady Bamford. The designer outlet village at Bicester is also worth a day out for those guests who enjoy some retail therapy, and the cottage is also only 8 miles from the exclusive soho farmhouse in Great Tew.

Three couples around our late forties . We all loved this cottage. Great fireplace for our November stay. Very well equipped kitchen. 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms - perfect. Really good Hook Norton Brewery shop very near by, Cotswold Distillery for a pre booked tour 10 minutes drive Away, and The Sun Inn in the village for nice pub food and great drink variety

Lovely house, bigger than we expected from the photos.
Lovely house, bigger than we expected from the photos. We are a family of 5 with 2 dogs and had a lot of space to spread out. Log fire was perfect on a cold January evening and we found the cottage well equipped. The welcome goodies were fab! Would definitely recommend.
An absolutely delightful cottage in a picturesque village. A welcome pack awaited us and we all had lovely bedrooms with comfy beds The weather was incredible so walking all day . A local pub , the Sun Inn was great for both service and food .The cottage had a lovely outdoor patio area .Perfect for relaxing with a sundowner.
Highly recommend The Sweet Shop cottage for a long weekend or week away in the Cotswold .
My husband and I, our two friends and our dogs had the most wonderful time on our stay here. The cottage was so well appointed, beautifully decorated and really clean. We spent our evenings in front of the fire playing board games we found in the games room and our days out on walks in the surrounding countryside. The owner has a long list of recommendations for walks and for places to eat and to visit which came in really handy! Hook Norton is a lovely place to stay and we enjoyed dinner at the Sun Inn in the village one evening too. We really hope to make it back one day!
