Wren's Nest: Elegant Romance on Seaside Estate

Among birdsong and scrambling blooms, Wren's Nest is calming splendor on a pleasure ground of a 2000 acre coastal estate. The bedroom has a superking bed and bathroom with rain shower. The living room leads to a large garden, with an outdoor bathtub under the camellia tree. Underfloor heating turns it into a lovenest, which perhaps William Wordsworth described, "Among the dwellings framed by birds/ In field or forest with nice care,/ Is none that with the little Wren's/ In snugness may compare." The space Meticulously restored to the Dunskey's signature exceptional standards, Wren's Nest is a lodge so special that you are guaranteed to be swept off your feet. The lodge tucked next to the heritage vegetable garden at Dunskey, thus maximising views of the ancient woodland and flowers climbing on the stone wall. Enter the lodge through the historic cobblestone courtyard, and note how the compassionate renovation has preserved the lodge's quirkiness while sidestepping conventionality. A sumptuous pink velvet sofa takes the stage in the living room, underneath a rice-paper Japanese screen of soaring birds over an idyllic loch. Chrome wall lights brighten the room with diffused warmth across the walls the color of blushing roses. The back door opens to the spacious garden, where in the gentle breeze, the pale velvet cornflower curtains sway sweetly. Another olive velvet chaise lounge provides the perfect spot for tucking into a good book, beneath the large recessed windows that looks out to the courtyard. On the walls, you'll find Dunskey's curated arts and artefacts, from feather-and-shell objets to a restored architectural frieze. The sweet kitchen on the ground floor is fully equipped with quite possibly everything you need for your holiday. Painted in a matte jade shade and decorated with Dunskey's collection of botanical prints, the kitchen also has enough space for a sweet dining spot by the window, looking to the courtyard's pillars.  Upstairs, the bedroom and bathroom occupies the entire floor. Here you'll find an incredible mother-of-pearl headboard and a super king size bed, Plenty of storage is available in the bedroom with large hidden drawers in the bed divan, and two charming chest of drawers. An additional Eames chair is available in the bedroom for any night-time inspired reading.  One of the best things about Wren's Nest, of course, is its spacious garden with a paved patio where you can dine all meals alfresco. The outdoor bathtub is a wonderful addition to those sunset evenings with some lanterns (included in your lodge!) and a chilled bottle of prosecco.  Other things to note FOR CANCELLATIONS: Full refund for cancellations made within 48 hours of booking, if the check-in date is at least 14 days away. 25% refund for cancellations made at least 21 days before check-in.
