    My only complain was that we didn't stay the 2 nights we had booked as we finished our business early so decided to get home to the fur babies. We will be back.. Thank you

    Attention to detail, we had milk, juice, cereal, bread, butter and jams, coffee, tea, etc. PLUS a beautiful bottle of wine. Plus bottled water. I have never stayed anywhere that thoughtful. We will definitely be back and next time I will drink the wine,

    The bathroom needs a little work. Noisy tap, leak from the back of the toilet and the grout in the shower needs cleaning/refresh.

    It was a very quiet location and the bed was comfortable

    Severe water rattle from the cold tap, still there since our previous visit a year ago. No space to use a laptop, but we brought in the outside small table, just as last visit, which luckily was clean for the carpets.

    Good variety of cereal, bread, milk.

    Bed was too soft for my liking but that's just me. Still very comfortable

    Basic but has everything you need in a great location. Only 5 mins to town. Great value for money too! Netflix, Stan etc was a bonus. So we're the included bread , milk and cereal was good too. One less thing you have to buy. Shower was massive!

    The air conditioning controls are inside the main house, with the owners out of the house from 9am to 4pm. Our 2 night stay featured warm days. There will be more summer morning sun protection when the Japanese maple and bottebrush grow. Best to be out of the room while the owners are out, which is not an issue with the many villages, wineries and sights to visit around Orange. Best times to stay would be spring and autumn months.

    Comprehensive continental breakfast included, complimentary bottle of wine and 2 bottles of water enhanced the stay. The room is well appointed and presented. Compared with the competition Blue Wren is excellent value for money.

    Because the B&B is attached to the house it is not well insulated from the sounds in the main residence but was not excessively noisy. Parking was in the driveway of the house but was always accessible during our stay.

    A bedroom and ensuite, and 2 chairs and a very small table for eating but there is a patio outside than can be utilised near a lovely rockery garden.

    Towel rail too close to toilet re hygiene. However, I didn't see where else to place it. To be fair, the hand towel and towel were placed on the bed, giving me a choice.

    Helpful hosts with nothing being of a bother for this older lady. Very comfortable accommodation with the bed being of excellent comfort. I give it an A+. I wasn't sure that breakfast was included and it was a pleasant surprise. Hosts, particularly keen to please with dietary requirements.

    We were provided with cereal, bread, juice, milk and spreads which was great as we didn't have to look for a cafe. We were only a couple of minutes from town which was also great. There was also a lovely bottle of wine provided for us.
