  • "The property is in emaculate condition and is clean throughout."

    Really quiet in a rural location. Only a thought, perhaps a sign or better instructions where to collect key from. There is a co-op shop in Manby by the traffic lights.

  • "Lovely little cottage in a great location."

    We always take our dogs on holiday and this was a perfect place. It has an enclosed courtyard, which was great for the dogs. There’s a little lane down the side for walkies time. The cottage has a great layout. Ideal for my dad who isn’t so good at getting around. It had pretty much everything we needed. Loved the covers for the sofas so the dogs could go on them❣️ We did find the beds a little uncomfortable. The mattresses were a little hard. But, sheets and towels were provided, which is great when you already have a packed car. Mablethorpe has a dog friendly beach that’s worth visiting. Also, you must take the time to go to Anderby Creek. There’s a great cafe and, again, a wonderful dog friendly beach. All in all, The Old Sweet Shop is in a perfect location, has everything you need and is a perfect dog friendly retreat.

  • "The Old Sweet Shop is a comfortable and very clean cottage with no evidence furry friends have been at the property."

    It is well maintained and larger than it appears in the photo's.It is clearly popular with guests who we noted kept returning from the entries in the visitors book. We found it ideally located, quiet without being isolated but away from crowds and traffic.

  • "Stayed here with our 3 dogs and it was just perfect."

    The court yard can be enclosed so the dogs could sit outside with us securely. There is good food locally and good facilities in the property. The owners where very friendly from the property next door and full of information. Very quiet location which suited us and plenty of dog walking. The coast is a 10 minute drive.will be booking again.

  • "A fantastic place to stay."

    Cosy, warm and very comfortable. Very well equipped. The courtyard is very secure and I had not worries about my three Springers. Good walks at the back of the farm and a twenty minute drive to wonderful, deserted beaches. This was our second stay having stayed in Peardrop Cottage in January. It was the perfect place to chill just before Christmas. Highly recommended.

    The only thing that was negative, was the water pressure in the showers, which others had already mentioned so we were expecting that. If we ever visit that area again, it is definitely somewhere we would book.

  • "Overall, very comfortable, particularly the beds and pillows."

    Owners very accommodating and helpful. However, this was our first experience of a combi boiler, which needed repairing through our stay, we could cope with that, but we now understand that power showers are not compatible with combi boilers. The shower pressure was awful. My husband cannot get in and out of a bath, so needs a good power shower. In the future, we will not be staying at a property that has a combi boiler. There is also a lot of water wastage waiting for hot water to cone through.

    We took two people in their mid eighties and the property suited them very well except they couldn’t open the front door very easily from the inside as there’s no door handle just the Yale lock and it stuck a bit, probably due to the damp. Also just to make you aware the shop is no longer open in the village although there is a co-op in the other direction but you’d need to drive to it and the nearest pub is also closed. If you don’t mind a short drive The Prussian Queen in Saltfleetby or The Queens Head in Legbourne both did lovely meals.

  • "A fantastic cottage, with everything any family could want."

    The kitchen was well stocked so meant that you didn't have to use the dishwasher too often because you had run out of clean dishes. The washing machine was quick and efficient with a drier available to use. The cottage on arrival was clean and tidy with all of the bed made up with lots of towels for everyone. The owners were friendly and and had kindly provided milk and biscuits along with tea and coffee which we gratefully used after our long journey. Only one thing which could have improved it was a little thicker curtains or lined curtains as it was quite an early wake up call in the morning due to light curtains (and I'm being picky here). Thank you for a wonderful holiday cottage, we will be recommending to others.
