Great few days away, relaxing & peaceful. Property well equipped & clean. Hot tub lovely at the end of the day.

Cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped with every thing required. A nice touch was tea, coffee, sugar and milk, shampoo, and soap were provided. The AGA took a bit of getting used to ,but we soon got used to it and cooked our food ok. The Barbeque stand and tools were good and cooked well. We loved the hot tub and would recommend the cottage tRead moreo every one. Hide

Pretty cottage and cosy with private hot tub. All facilities to make you feel at home with welcome pack. Nice location. Recommended.
Callie
Absolutely stunning property. Possibly the best equipped place we've ever stayed, it felt like the owners have a real feel for what their guests need. The bed was super comfy, and the space was perfect for two people and their four legged friend. Only tip - bring slippers!

Jayne
Lovely comfortable accommodation. Really enjoyed the hot tub. Good fishing for my partner. Would definitely recommend it.
Jeffrey
Excellent accommodation and location - will have no hesitation in rebooking when we next visit the area.
Roger
Wren Barn is a comfortable one bed conversion with en-suite bathroom. Lounge/kitchen is also comfortable with everything you need for a few nights stay. Although wifi in barn, it is very poor. The hot tub is good but could be made a bit more secluded as people do walk past. Nice cream tea as a welcome. Car charging point which doesn't rip you off a nd lovely fishing lakes with picnic benches around. Short walk to the river but bizarrely you have to climb a 5 foot gate to get there.
Michelle
Wren Barn is perfect! Great location, fantastic hot tub to relax in at the end of the day. Comfy bed, great shower and everything you require for a break away from home. Lovely welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, cornish fudge and scones with jam & clotted cream. Owners were at the end of a text or call, nothing seemed to much trouble for them. Grea t facilities onsite, and lovely walks around the lake and in the fields. Definitely going back!
Mandy
Lovely barn , great location, very welcome
Roman
The cottage was very lovely, quiet and very warm. The hot tub was excellent! A very well stocked kitchen and living area. We really enjoyed the little touches such as the cream tea that was provided and the dog treats! Logan, our Romanian rescue dog, enjoyed the secure field and sniffing after the resident ducks and sheep on his lead. We would high ly recommend booking here and would definitely come again

Amazing location, lovely and thoughtful owners, lovely barns! Really thoughtful extra touches by the owners, such as the dog bowls/ bed/ treats as well as the fudge/ scones & cream - delightful extra touches that we relished.

Jeff
What a great place, on the central Devon Cornwall Border, making it easy to travel to the north coast or south cost. With travelling times under an hour, to a lot of the popular places & beaches. The cottage its self, fantastic. Set in a Rural quiet relaxing area, with wild stock, sheep & lakes. Our unit had a hot tub, so made for a relaxing break. The owners couldnt do enough for anybody & friendly. Thank You for an excellent stay.
Callum
We absolutely loved it at Wren Barn! It had everything we needed plus the added bonus of the hot tub! Great location, out of the way so very peaceful but also shops etc in close proximity. Only 30 mins drive to the beach at Bude. Lynsey was so friendly and welcoming. The main selling point for us (aside from the hot tub!) was that it was dog friend ly. Plenty of space to walk the dog on the land surrounding the barns. Highly recommend and will definitely be back in the future!
Alex
We loved the cottage - the layout with enclosed garden areas (front and back) was perfect for our young dogs to venture but with security. The bathrooms were lovely, comfortable bedrooms and great kitchen facilities.
