Latest feedback…
“Relax, restore and rejuvenate – exactly as it said on the tin. The Old Sweet Shop was cosy, comfortable and completely exceeded our expectations. Afternoon tea on arrival was epic – wow! The brunch box was a feast fit for a king and queen, all beautifully local, just how we like it. The whole wellness experience was exceptional. Lucy was an amazing host, and nothing was too much trouble in making our stay so special. Yasmin’s massage was out of this world – honestly, the best we’ve ever had, and at our age we’ve had quite a few over the years! Lucia’s Pilates was 10 out of 10, especially for us as relative beginners. We felt calm, relaxed and wonderful afterwards. And the icing on the cake was the hot tub – beautifully maintained and such a treat. Thank you to Lucy and her team for a fantastic wellness weekend. We will be back… tomorrow!”
