The announcement on Facebook brings an end to the cafe which was popular with visitors to the glen and passengers on the MER.
Dhoon’s Little Shed at the Glen is to close, with the owners saying spiralling costs and a proposed rent increase have contributed to their decision.

Bev and Richard Clegg said on Facebook: ‘It’s been a head & heart dilemma for us as we LOVE the place but we haven’t been immune from the spiralling costs our industry has faced – it’s been heartbreaking to see how badly this has affected hospitality businesses on the island. And, not withstanding DEFA & DoIs efforts, a rent increase along with lease terms which we would find difficult to work with has sealed the decision for us.
‘We’ve enjoyed some amazing events, which we hope to continue in some guise or another at The Shed in 2024 and onwards, so keep an eye out 
‘Our wonderful #littleshedteam will now join us at The Shed and The Gelato Shed. We’d like to thank them for their incredible hard work and for falling in love with Little Shed as much as we did 
They’re simply ace!’
The building at Dhoon is owned by the gov.
