We had a wonderful stay at Wren's Nest. It was such a beautiful setting off the beaten track in the East Devon countryside. We found the accommodation gorgeous. It was perfect for the two of us and had everything we needed for our stay. We made the most of chilling in the evenings with the balcony doors open and a glass of wine watching the bats flRead moreying past or just listening to the birds. The hosts, Alexia and Adam were so welcoming. There was plenty of parking and the bed was so comfy. Hide
