Nothing…it was exactly as described, very comfortable and in a beautiful, quiet and secluded location

Wrens Nest was exactly what we were looking for. Such a cute wee cottage, beautiful inside and out and so comfortable

A charming peaceful retreat. Well equipped and excellent value. The fudge and prosecco were a nice touch. A good base for exploring.

Perhaps a slighly better settee, but that’s being picky!

It is so difficult to find a cottage for two, so this was a fantastic find - a perfect little holiday home for two! Although small - one room plus entrance space and a bathroom - it contains everything you need in this beautifully decorated and maintained property: double bed, small settee, TV, WIFI and small kitchen all crammed into to small space, but without it feeling in any way cramped. Hosts left a lovely little welcome gift of prosecco and tablet, as well as there being cooking oil, milk, salt & pepper. With a two ring hob, air fryer and toaster plus all the kitchen utensils you need this place was better suited to self catering than many larger places we’ve been to. The shower in the tastefully decorated bathroom was beautifully clean and easy to use, with good ventilation of steam from excellent hot water supply. Parking was right next to the property, which also has a beautiful little garden with table/chairs for eating/drinking outside, weather permitting. All perfect, including the property’s name - as we even had a visit from a wren in the garden! A beautiful cottage for a short break and a great location for exploring Dumfries and Galloway, we are likely to return! Also worth noting, the owner was in touch - via the email link - as soon as we arrived to check everything was ok and to offer help if any needed.

We had a wonderful stay in Wrens Nest. It's such a beautiful little cottage with all the necessary amenities and good parking. The cottage may be rather small, but it's tastefully decorated, with a comfortable bed and a decent sized bathroom. We really appreciated details like the welcoming gift and fresh flowers - such lovely gestures making us feel very welcome! We would recommend buying some delicious fresh eggs from the farm down the road. As we tend to do driving holidays with our two dogs annually, it's wonderful to find such beautiful and dog friendly accommodation options! We'd be happy to recommend Wrens Nest to friends and family.

Everything was perfect

Immaculate with everything you need. Ideal location for walking at the coast and forest. So peacefully situated off a beautiful lane and within woodland. So quiet and full of wildlife.

Nothing I didn’t like….all positive!

It was a very homely, comforting place….wee touches like fresh wild flowers, Prosecco & fudge were added bonus and added to the quality feel! Fudge & coffee, gr8 treat after a drive.

Nothing at all.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The little cottage is cosy but had everything we needed. Wrens nest was immaculate. The enclosed garden was great for our dogs and felt safe that they couldn't get out. The location is a short drive from Newton Stewart. The area was very quiet, and we loved sitting outside in the evening having some dinner and drinks. Thank you for a lovely and relaxing stay..

Wrens nest is fabulous. My boyfriend and I had a lovely relaxing stay here. On arrival it was cosy, spotless with excellent amenities to use. The directions were spot on and for us the location was perfect for mountain biking and exploring the Galloway Forest. There is a shed for bike storage too although we left ours in the van. Would definitely recommend for a quiet couples weekend. The Prosecco and fudge were a lovely touch and we enjoyed both.

It was great that the weather was nice so we could eat our dinner on the table outside, as there's no dining table in the property. I wouldn't want to change the internal layout though!

Nice Shower. lovely, lovely setting/area. Well presented and welcome package was a nice surprise.

Nothing , every thing was spot on

We were self catering

Stayed in September 2024

There was no oven which was a bit of a disappointment but we managed with small microwave and small airfryer. There was very limited workspace. Probably ideal for 2 or 3 nights but for longer stays where we like to eat in on alternate nights this would be restrictive.

Good location for a short stay> Bathroom very good with an excellent shower. Bed very comfortable and property very clean.
