• Kerry (10/5): Convenient location, comfortable and homely apartment, friendly hosts. - Hosts thought of everything! Nothing too much trouble. Bread, eggs, butter, tea, milk etc all waiting for us when we arrived. Beautiful garden to relax in by a river too. Highly recommended. Shower tray filled up very quickly although the owner did warn us about this in advance.

Tv in living area and bedroom WiFi included Bed was so comfortable slept so well. Cute little chairs by the river. Gutted we only came for one night I didn’t want to leave.

We appreciate the bread, cereals, eggs, jams, milk. Water, tea, and coffee. All the little extras. Smart TV in the lounge and bedroom. Lovely night sleep. Gorgeous garden. Even invited us to their BBQ. It was the perfect start to our holiday. It has been a difficult few months for me, and it was just the tonic I needed. Excellent value for money. in fact, it is worth so much more. Thank you. We would love to return and stay longer. N/A
• Lucia (10/5): Un nido accogliente - Una casa molto curata con un bellissimo giardino al di là della strada. I proprietari Jenny e Kenny non ci hanno fatto mancare nulla, hanno addirittura lasciato il necessario per fare colazione. Nella casa c’è tutto quello di cui si può avere bisogno e dialogare con loro è stato un piacere. Grazie! Nulla
• Pascale (10/5): - The hosts are really nice people, the place is spacious, well equipped. Beds were confortable, everything was clean. There is a nice garden and the buildings are old and beautiful We loved our stay ! We found some groceries for our breakfast, which was really convenient. Nothing
• Claire (10/5): - "We had a wonderful stay in this lovely property! 🤩 The attention to detail was amazing, with all the little extras like butter, milk, and eggs making us feel right at home. 🥛🥚 The dog towels were a lovely touch too, showing the owners really care about their furry guests 🐾❤️. The location was perfect for exploring the area, with Axminster, Seaton, and Lyme Regis all within easy reach 🚗. We loved wandering around these charming towns and taking in the beautiful scenery 🌳. Overall, we would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient base in the area 👍. Thanks to the owners for making our stay so special!" We enjoyed our stay in this lovely property, but unfortunately, we did encounter one issue - the windows were quite tricky to open. However, this didn't detract too much from our overall experience. The garden is a real highlight, with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the surroundings. It's a beautiful outdoor area, perfect for spending time with family or pets. The only thing to note is that it's situated near a busy road, so care needs to be taken when crossing. Despite the window issue, we'd still recommend this property to others. With a bit of attention to the windows, it would be absolutely perfect.
• Leonard (10/5): A good place for any couples to stay. - Location was really great, breakfast was great, do it yourself as self catering. Nothing to dislike all perfect .
• Lucy (10/5): Lovely cottage in a great location with thoughtful extra touches from the hosts -
• Guy (10/5): Gorgeous and well maintained property with the friendliest of hosts and access to riverside garden. -
• Kate (9/5): Lovely cosy cottage - The beds were very comfortable, the shower was powerful, everything was clean, the kitchen well stocked with anything you might need for cooking/ food prep,etc. I appreciated the teabags & milk after my long journey!there was also a loaf of bread, eggs, jam, etc. Ken & Jenny are lovely hosts, showed us around the cottage & the huge garden across the road. They just let us get on with it, but I felt if I had any questions or needed advice, they'd have been more than happy to help. Location was perfect for us, only a 15min drive to various beaches. Nothing negative to say
• James (10/5): Great accommodation, friendly host, good location. - The accommodation was large with plenty of space. The hosts had provided eggs, bread, milk, butter and different jams. It was very well stocked with everything you could think of. As a bolthole for the coast is was exceptional value. Nothing!
• Forsyth (10/5): Excellent - Kenny and Jenny were very welcoming and made be feel right at home. - I had access to the 1-acre private garden and riverfront area. I was delighted at the thoughtful touches supplied by the hosts, such as a complimentary fresh loaf of bread, butter, strawberry jam, marmalade, and a fresh bottle of cold milk in the fridge on arrival. As it was originally a heritage-listed 16th-century building, some rooms and doorway heights were a little close for someone as "well nourished" as I was. Perhaps the universe is trying to tell me something.
• Mr (10/5): Excellent Dog Friendly Jurassic Adventure - The welcome from Jenny & Kenny was excellent and the accommodation was in a great condition, Bed comfort, place spacious and comfortable. Very dog friendly too. The riverside garden is amazing. Note it is over a busy one way (single carriage) road but easy to cross though. Great location for Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Seaton and Beer. Nothing.
• Linda (10/5): Both Lotus and myself were very comfortable and would be happy to recommend - More than adequate
• Big (10/5): Awesome place - On entering the premises we saw the hosts gave us eggs, bread, milk, tea n coffee, jam, butter, marmalade which was a lovely touch, the accommodation has very comfortable settees and bed, the overall accommodation was spotlessly clean, we even went to the garden area where we sat around enjoying the birds, cat and river really couldn't ask for more
• Kirsty (10/5): Exceptional - What a great find. Loved everything about our stay at the Wrens nest. Lovely location, comfy beds including the sofa bed which is rare.

The property was well equipped, clean, spacious and for a family with a small person felt like home from home!!! The gorgeous garden including geese was an absolute highlight for us!

The hosts provided lovely extras in the property - milk, butter, eggs, bread, jams and a selection of cereals . Kenny and Jenny also provided information on transport options for our stay specifically tailored to us... Jenny and Kenny were the loveliest hosts and we could not have asked for more.

Do not be put off that the property is next to the road, the traffic did not disturb us at all, walls are very thick.! The hosts were friendly and welcoming and we had a lovely stay.

• Naomi (10/5): Excellent. Very homey. Highly recommended. - As soon as we walked in Wrens Nest, we both immediately said 'We could live here!' No exaggeration. It is very homey. You are provided with everything you need. We were most impressed by the large kitchen which is fully equipped with sink, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, oven/hob, etc.not to mention kettle, pots & pans, utensils, cutlery, crockery & glassware, etc., and we found bread, butter & jam, milk, eggs and water, too. Kenny and Jenny are very friendly and helpful. They are also discreet and let you get on with your stay. It was two of us and our two dogs. The house is so spacious that our dogs could play with their favourite toys jut like they normally do in our own house. There is a garden across the road where our dogs could use for toilet. There is also a grassy footpath leading to the town centre, along which we could walk our dogs off lead. Lyme Regis (the world famous Jurassic Coast) is a must-visit place. Monmouth Beach is about 15 min. drive from Wrens Nest. It is a dog-friendly beach. Thank you very much, Kenny and Jenny. We highly recommend Wrens Nest. Can't fault it. ;)
