The chicken shed was lovely warm and clean. It doesn’t have a full size fridge or a proper oven which we felt was a downside. There is a large gable window above the bed with no curtains and the neighbours light is on all night making the bedroom very bright to sleep in. The lighting in the front room is very minimal and made reading in the evening difficult we went to Ikea and purchased a light for the week we stayed. Overall with a few minor problems that could easily be resolved we think that this one of the most lovely little cottages we have stayed in
