"When we first arrived, the cottage was freezing and felt quite sparse - no curtains, just blinds, which was a bit surprising. The bathroom looked a bit tired, with exposed pipes and some holes in the walls, so not quite what we expected. The kitchen was pretty poorly stocked for a cottage meant for four; there was only one spoon, a few tired teaspoons and mismatched wine glasses. No table mats or can opener either, which was a bit disappointing. On the plus side, its really peaceful and perfect for a quiet retreat. The WiFi was solid and there was a decent selection of TV channels. Once we turned on the heating, it warmed up quickly and stayed cosy. Loved the high ceilings and exposed beams - really charming touches!"

"Beautiful spot, cosy cottage, would return again."

"We loved the cosy cottage, stunning views and spotless everything. Truly a gem!"

"We stayed at Wren Cottage and really enjoyed it. The location was perfect and it had all the essentials we needed. A few small issues like a broken knife, a chipped cup and a sour smell from the fridge couldve been sorted before our arrival. Still, wed definitely come back!"
