The Chicken Coop Reviews

Stephanie

Lovely little hidden gem in the stunning countryside. Amazing walks nearby and the property was beautiful with everything we needed for our break. Loved watching the chickens and geese. Highly recommended.

Great location and a very nice place. Decent size,reasonably equipped ,light and airy.

Jonathan

Unfortunately the cottage doesn't have any heating controls and after speaking to the owner after arrival I was told the central heating comes on in the morning and again in the evening around 7pm. After a day walking you return to a cold cottage being unable to warm up until later. Kitchen facilities are very basic with a small half oven.

Had a fantastic time, walks right from the door. Lovely little cottage beautiful scenery.

A bijou apartment that provided everything we needed. A warm welcome from the property owner who provided lots of great suggestions on places to go. In the property, the leafletsbooklets about the local area were very useful. The surrounding countryside provided multiple options of footpaths and we walked for miles without having to get into the car!

Upon arrival fo the property we were greated by the owner and her lovely doggos. The owner is very friendly, helpful, kind and happy to point you to the beautiful local spots! We had everything we needed there, but obviously bring your own food! Although, there's plenty of eggs! The owner was thoughtful enough to put shower gels, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, cleaning supplies, towels, a hairdryer and even extra fluffy blankets for those cosy nights in, out for us. The local scenery is so beyond beautiful too. My fiance and I were the first people to stay at the property that aren't friends family of the owners, and we certainly will not be the last. Beyond happy with our experience, this is the best holiday we've had in a while. Will definitely return. Thank you for having us guys, and thank you for giving us such an amazing time.
