“What a gem of a place!”

The most perfect location, very comfortable with everything you need and beautiful views. We would love to rent it again from you. I did email Sykes Cottages and ask if they provided a BBQ which they said there was not one there and it is first thing I saw when I arrived!! Not to worry. The children loved the garden and the whole feel of the place was very welcoming.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a fabulous stay and had the perfect base to explore the local area from. Apologies for the BBQ confusion, we will amend our notes and listing! - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“A lovely place to stay plenty of room.”

Great location but anyone with mobility issues will struggle with steps, unfortunately at night the lights on steps don’t work. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and new carpets. Blinds in living room and TV in master bedroom didn’t work, but neither concerned us. Overall a great place to stay. Sky sport a bonus. We most definitely would use again.

“The Wrens needs some TLC and I thought it was overpriced for what it was.”

Great location in terms of beach access. The kitchen had very fancy over complicated appliances for a holiday let (coffee machine, steam oven which I doubt anyone uses) but the actual oven was of very poor quality. It takes hours to cook anything. The kitchen also needs some additional small sharp knives. It currently has 2 but 1 of these was broken and therefore quite dangerous. There is no garlic press. The batteries in the remote controllers were dead so we had to buy our own. The overhead lights in the twin beds don’t work. They have multiple spot lights out around the house. We lost all our hot water however JB came out very quickly to sort. The following day, all the downstairs lights went out and again JB came out to sort but this was after a stern phone call. It would just seem this property is quite neglected and we wouldn’t rent again.

Thank you for your feedback from your stay at The Wrens. We are pleased you enjoyed the location for its access to the beach. We are, however, sorry for any maintenance issues you experienced but see that we did respond to these during your stay. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“We had a brilliant week at The Wrens, and we were generally very impressed with the house.”

However there were a couple of things worth noting: In the 2nd twin bedroom the mattresses do not fit the beds - they hang over the edge by about 20cm. I tried to adjust this myself but could not. The shower in the master bathrooms' waste was not properly fixed and needs replacing. The laundry room was stuffed with lots of item and although totally usable was not very attractive to use, with a few shelves this could be made a really decent space, it just felt very messy. I would also say that the understairs cupboard was messily organise and could easily be left much more attractive. I hope this is helpful and constructive feedback as our overall feeling for the house was that it was a great family space.

Just over seven miles away is the popular market town of Wadebridge, which is set alongside the River Camel and offers an array of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as North Cornwall's only family-owned cinema. There’s wonderful countryside in the area, with the renowned Camel Trail passing through the town, and the nearby town of Padstow, with its harbour, pastel-washed medieval houses and celebrated restaurants is well worth exploring.
