Lovely thatched cottage in the Devon countryside with hot tub in garden. Plenty of walks from the door step. 20 minute drive from nearest beach.

Dale

Lovely comfortable cottage with fully enclosed garden and paddock for your pooches to run around.

Julie

Lovely big cottage in the countryside, great outside space with fabulous hot tub and private garden for sunbathing. Owners next door should you have any questions. Very peaceful. Be prepared to drive down narrow country lanes as its setting means youll need to be a confident driver. Fully equipped kitchen and modern appliances. Super quiet with vie ws over the fields and farms.

Chloe

We've just returned from a wonderful weeks stay at Wren's Thatch. We had a lovely welcome by Maggie and Kevin, the homemade scones were delicious after a long journey. The cottage itself is beautiful, with spectacular views and had everything we and our 11 month old needed for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed the thorough information book, superking size beds, hot tub, and vist from Molly their Springer Spanial who liked to poke her nose through the fence and say hello.

Mark

Great accommodation. Close enough to everything yet secluded. Very comfortable and cosy from all the elements

Annette

It was very welcoming, the owners were very friendly and helpful, definitely would return

Elizabeth

Following the route recommended by the owners is important to avoid narrow lanes but once we were familiar with that, all was great. Superb cottage with excellent equipment. Cosy and comfortable.

Paula

Lovely holiday home with lots of character and charm. The owners were lovely and can't fault the overall experience. The little extras were very welcome..milk tea eggs and homemade scones were a lovely touch. The use of the paddock for our dog was great as well as a small garden. No barbecues or fire pits allowed at the cottage for fire reasons whi ch wasn't a big issue I was disappointed on the website there was a field and firepit so a bit misleading!

Alan

Beautiful thatched cottage in a remote and quite part of rural Devon. The cottage was lovley and had everything we wanted and needed, both bedrooms, very spacious with onsuites and the added benifefit of a wet room down stairs, ideal when using the hot tub. Private garden and your very own exercise field to let your puppy dogs go mad before venturi ng out to explore a very beautil part of our Country. Kevin & Maggie were more than happy for you to take a walk around their beautiful gardens.

Anthony

What a real gem of a property! Excellent presentation by Maggie and Kevin who have worked hard to ensure a great holiday is had by all. The cream tea on arrival is a welcoming touch. The setting is excellent for views and star gazing! The hot tub is a great feature although probably too hot during the heatwave! A homely getaway! Morning greetings b y Mollie the Springer Spaniel are a delight!

Douglas

Simply an ideal place to retreat to after a hard day enjoying everything North Devon has to offer. An out of the way hide away. 5 stars.

kym

the location of the cottage is excellent, quite and the field was a godsend for the dogs. The cottage layout is excellent the down stair open plan is like one very large room with space for all. Bedrooms are very comfortable, roomy and both are on suite very quite at night perfect for a good nights sleep. The little extras waiting for us on arrival was an excellent touch.

Tim

Would strongly recommend this cottage - beautiful property with everything you need for a great holiday- idyllic location for relaxation and solitude but still not too far from the beaches and other North Devon delights and not to forget amazing hosts

David

A lovely place to stay

Laura

We had an absolutely fabulous stay at Wrens Thatch. Kevin and Maggie were really welcoming and friendly hosts who have thought about everything you could possible need while staying. The cottage is clean and comfortable with an enclosed garden which was important for us with the dog. They also have a separate paddock which you can use to exercise t he dog which was just perfect. Their own dogs Molly and Poppy were an absolute delight. Its in a great location to explore North Devon. Just perfect.

Clive

Had a fantastic week at Wrens Thatch despite the fact the weather could have been better. The accommodation was of a very high standard, cosy and charming. Hot tub was great, and our dog loved the field opposite for exercising. The property is very well positioned for exploring North Devon. Would recommend Instow beach, which is the nearest beach a nd also dog friendly.

Stunning, immaculate cottage in a Great location. Hosts were very welcoming Very comfortable, spacious and yet cosy. Large open plan, but felt very warm. Very high quality throughout the cottage and well stocked with everything you would need for cooking. Hot tub was excellent and the bathrobes to use was an unexpected bonus.

James

Fabulous cottage in a great location

Rosamund

We were warmly welcomed by Kevin & Maggie and a tray of warm scones. Wren's Thatch is a cosy property with everything you need to prepare a good meal. The hot tub was a highlight, as was stargazing. Kevin sorted out a couple of early problems very quickly indeed - one of the benefits of having the owner just next door. The adjacent field is very co nvenient for dog walking.
