“Exceptional stay in beautiful St Agnes with great hosts.”
+We loved the warm welcome. Wrens Nook surpassed our expectations. The location was brilliant for exploring St Agnes. Wrens Nook was attractive, comfortable and homely. We enjoyed the thoughtful treats provided. This is an exceptional accomodation.
−Nothing could be improved.

“Comfortable cottage, great location for exploring coastal walks, St. Agnes and south west Cornwall”
+Lovely location, friendly host. Well equipped kitchen, nice bathrooms. Huge garden/fields would be great for children. Historical charm for the old part of the property. Sun room (conservatory) was lovely and warm. Walk into the centre of St. Agnes was picturesque and very easy.
−The road leading to the property is exceptionally narrow, particularly the last 50m, OK for small (narrow) cars but a real challenge for SUVs. However we were warned about this. There are parking places on nearby road but that's about 3 mins walk away which is what we ended up doing. The stairs which are in the old part of the property are steep without a full banister.

“If you love landscapes with beaches and cliffs and deep history, Cornwall is the place to visit.”
+This is a very unique, historical property that is exactly what we were looking for in Cornwall. The hosts, Ruth and Pete were great folks who are very helpful and engaging. We enjoyed our conversations with them about the area and things we could see and do. There are several notices in their booking info about the narrow drive up to the place. As long as you have a small car, it’s fine. We thought it was very unusual which added to the unique character of this beautiful place. The cottage was comfortable and very quiet with a great kitchen and sunroom. We build a fire in the little stove one night and it warmed up the place just right. Our four night stay was memorable, especially our hike on the nearby Southwest Coastal Path, St. Michael’s Mount and visits to several botanical gardens in the area. Great food options in St. Agnes and nearby Portreath.
−There is very little to dislike about the Wrens Nook. Worlds hardly describe the feel of this area. It’s another world entirely. Be mindful that Cornish folks get by just fine with smaller spaces, roads, cars etc. One track roads are very common, so be sure to set your expectations accordingly. Google Maps works pretty well here and we saw more by traveling around on these little roads than we ever could on a tour.

“Lovely stay”
+Lovely little old house, some lovely fridge items left for us, plus rum (we didn’t partake) and scones! Garden areas are beautiful, very quiet area with lovely views Lane is more narrow than can be pre warned. We didn’t use our car once whilst staying mind, we walked everywhere.
−Everything was great

“Comfortable and homely cottage”
+The cottage was very comfortable and homely with everything we needed and more. Fabulous outside space for kids. Ten min walk to good pubs in the village.
−The lane to the cottage was very narrow and our Peugeot 3008 just about squeezed up with care but smaller cars will be fine.

“Perfect base in St Agnes”
+Everything, nice touches from the owners leaving us some fresh scones, milk etc. My friend enjoyed the pirate ship. Lots do outdoor space, dogs would love it. Location gorgeous. Very quiet little lane, 10 mins walk into the village, 20ish to the beach. Locals very friendly. Would recommend visiting nearby Holywell Bay and Godrevys beach which are a short drive away and the best beaches we found. Beds comfortable. Master bedroom just fabulous. We didn't want to leave.
−The directions could have been a bit clearer, we drove past the entrance to the lane and it's not the easiest area to navigate a car around due to narrow lanes. Could have done with more comfortable seating in the living room but honestly was fine for a couple of hours in the evening. Second bedroom small but I guess it's meant for kids (we were 2 friends staying together with separate bedrooms). I'm still giving a 10 because these things didn't affect our stay or our enjoyment. We'd go back again and recommend in a heatbeat

“An excellent Cornish cottage”
+Wren's Nook was fabulous. Peter and Ruth were incredibly friendly and approachable, and the cottage had absolutely everything that we could have possibly needed (plus was filled with character). The kids loved playing football in the fields and going on the swings and the climbing frame. It was 5 minutes walk to the village, with some great pubs and restaurants, and 20 minutes walk to the beach. Plus it was in a very quiet, picturesque location. I can highly recommend.
−The lane up to the property is admittedly very narrow, but it wasn't an issue. Peter was very upfront about this and it added to the character. We drove it when we arrived to unload the car, and then after this we chose to park on the nearby lane and walk the 2 minutes to the cottage. We never had an issue getting a parking space, and found the extra steps a bonus!
