  • "Lovely cottage added bonus was left small hamper with eggs,home made jam which was nice."

    Would be nice if had slip mat in bath when having shower.

    Thanks for your lovely feedback Kim. So glad you had a great holiday at Wrens Nest. There is a slip mat for the bath and I’m sorry you didn’t see it. It’s rolled up by the side of the bath on the floor by the sink. Hope to see you again as you’ll be very welcome to stay again Property Owner
