Wren Reviews

Lovely place to stay. Very quiet. Loved watching the local wildlife. Hot tub amazing to get into after a day walking. Facilities in the lodge are perfect. Kitchen incredibly well kitted out and a fantastic welcome basket of goodies. Our second visit and probably not the last. Only down side is that it's easy to soak the bedroom floor when having a shower so just be a bit careful.

What an amazing place. We really enjoyed our stay. Great location and accomodations clean and well maintained.

Thomas

Lovely comfortable lodge with all needed amenities, quiet countryside location and friendly, helpful hosts. Perfect location for exploring the York and East Riding areas. Fully recommended.

Wren is a very comfortable and stylish lodge, with the added bonus of a hot tub and lovely outdoor seating. The owner, Rob, was extremely welcoming and had even lit the hot tub for our arrival. The lodge is thoughtfully laid out and the kitchen very well equipped. Comfy beds and sofas too! A great base for York, Beverley and trips to the North Yorks coast. We have already recommended to friends and wed love to return. Highly recommended.

The lodge is beautiful! The hot tub and pizza oven were a great touch. The home is equipped with everything you could need and even more, including board games and a welcome basket. The location is amazing as well as its located about 30 min from York and 1 hour from the beach. The owner Rob was very helpful and welcoming. I wish the yard was fenced in only because of our toddlers, but it looks like the owners have planted some young bushes and trees to line the yard so it is sectioned off more in the future. Great stay, highly recommend!

We loved this property including the location. It is well equipped and spacious. We enjoyed our stay

Lodge fully equipped with everything home from home,very clean,loverly welcome basket,hot tub makes it special,comfy beds. Would recommend to friends and family.

Louise

This was a beautifully designed property with plenty of space for a family of four. It was neat, modern and welcoming. The kitchen was well kitted out and the beds were very comfortable. The location is lovely, right by the woods and fields, with the hot tub nicely placed to enjoy the views. The hosts were very helpful and on hand for any enquiries. It was useful to have 2 bathrooms and my only recommendation would be that they need a shower door. The children's bathroom especially flooded the floor and even part of their room with water as there was no barrier or shelving for drainage. It was cold weather but another comment is that an outdoor table would be ideal for summer, so you can sit and eat outside. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend these lodges! Thank you.

A wonderful property which is immaculate. A real treat to stay there. The property has a wood fired hot tub which is fabulous. We were so well looked after too. Upon arrival we were shown how to use the hot tub, in fact it was lit for us! The host was in touch before we arrived which was amazing. There was also a really lovely hamper filled with goodies. The kitchen is well stocked. We will be returning. Such a peaceful place to stay. Thank you.
