History

In the village is the new Bennet’s chocolate factory (well worth a visit), However Bennett’s started here in this cottage in 1998 hoping to have a small “cottage industry” style business. Popularity made it grow so much they expanded to a purpose-built factory and cafe.
So the name refers to the “sweet chocolate” but also the “sweet situation” in the bush and quietness. We feel this is a SWEET RETREAT!
