Confirmed Guest
Had a nice Bank Holiday weekend at The Wrens with our dog. The place was lovely and clean and was fairly close to everything we needed. The swimming pool was great although we should have booked more in advance as only managed to get in their once. If you are a very light sleeper the noise from the farm will possibly keep you awake as it did 1 night for us. Also the curtains in the bedrooms could do with being blackout curtains as the flood light outside is on all night and shines into the room which makes it very bright.Other than that a great place and the welcome pack was an added bonus as well.
