Reviews for Wren's Nest Village Inn
Review 1：There was an amazing restaurant on the grounds. Lots of unique items and fantastic beer menu. King size bed was a plus, sometimes hard to find at lower prices. Spent time walking around Portsmouth and Hampton Beach.
Review 2：Awful, they have worn green turf covering the stairs. Dark room with dark paneling.
Review 3：Not much, it needs lots of work. The owner was pleasant . It was nice and quiet.
Review 4：We booked a room with a jacuzzi because we had just arrived from a trans-Atlantic flight. First thing we noticed on arrival is that the photos online look nothing like the reality. Our room was large, but cheap-looking. Fake timber frame on ceiling. Polyester sheets. It was just like a cheap-o strip motel. Okay, we were tired and went to bed. Next morning we tried to use the hot tub only to find there was not enough hot water to fill the tub even 2 inches! We gave up and took lukewarm showers. When we complained to the manager and asked for a price reduction (this room cost over $200), he yelled at us, and said he didn't believe us! In the end after much haggling and grief, he gave us a $50 refund. Horrible experience!!
Review 5：Pretty much nothing.
Review 6：The shower pressure was horrible and this is why we would not return. Also water was cool not warm enough for shower.
Review 7：The place was clean and reception was very nice
Review 8：The jacuzzi only worked when you sat up straight but stopped when you sank deep into the tub. You needed a PHD to operate the controls of the jacuzzi. The outlet for the refrigerator and coffe maker did not work. The hairdryer did not work. Very disappointing and we will not go back.
Review 9：The room was clean and comfortable.
Review 10：The layout of the room was strange, but the main problem stemmed from sheets and blankets with several small, reddish stains on the top edge. Due to the front desk closing more or less the moment we checked in there wasn't anyone to complain to. By the next morning, it was too late to bother.
Review 11：The staff was helpful and friendly in our sole interaction.
Review 12：Very surly manager, really only a motel, not a B&B. Very poor sound proofing, Way over priced. Noisy and right on Highway 1, nowhere near Portsmouth. Don't stay here if you think you will have a B&B in Portsmouth, as this ain't it!
Review 13：Wifi worked and that was about all that I liked.
Review 14：We have no complaints about this stay. Plan to return in the future.
Review 15：The room was large and comfortable. There is a neat restaurant on the property.
Review 16：There was a noisy party of young people, who smoked cigarettes right outside our door and it went on until very late. The room was dark and damp and had no privacy.
Review 17：The room was clean
Review 18：everything was fine until about 1:30 am when someone checked in and they were right above us, when there was plenty of rooms thru out the stay, there was only one other car there so hard to understand why you would put someone above at that time when there was many other rooms, I understand if full but REALLY!!!!!
Review 19：this is where we stayed the first night of our honeymoon a few years ago
Review 20：The first room was on the main floor but above us was someone (a man? Ormore?) who tromped around for several hours forcing us to get them tomove us or we'd leave at 10pmThe manager/owner? was slovenly and while there were very few rooms filled everyone was crowded together at one end of just one of the buildings The second room...took forever for the shower water to get hot and the tub drain was terrible
Review 21：The proximity to downtown Portsmouth was as advertised the second roomwe were in was okay
Review 22：The kitchen area was clean, but there was a pan lid but not pots & pans, so if we had wanted to use the stove to cook something we would have to go out and buy those things.
Review 23：Clean place, quiet atmosphere, easy access to I-95, easy access to downtown and other businesses such as grocery stores, etc.
Review 24：Cheap taxi to downtown Portsmouth. The rooms were very comfortable and had a New England feel. Could listen to pandora and watch netflix on the TV if desired. Awesome place
Review 25：Good overall, but we were of the belief it was an inn, given its name. However, as motels go, it was quite good: good location, quiet, clean and comfortable.
Review 26：The king room with kitchen was perfect for our week long stay. It felt more like living in an apartment and that fit our family perfectly. The grounds were neatly kept with special attention to lounging and relaxation with the outdoor pond / waterfall, swing and hammock. The pool and hot tub area were nice bonuses as well. Maintenence came promptly to swap out burnt out lightbulbs. Plently of very close parking to our unit. Only a short drive to restaurants, shopping centers and attractions. This inn is charming with a cottage chic feel and we all enjoyed our stay!

Review 66：good amenities on the premises...too bad they forgot to outline ANY of the amenities...we would have taken advantage of them..
Review 67：The heated indoor pool was not working. Owner said it's seasonal it was Memorial Day weekend! That night i had a sealed in plastic box of cookies I left on the counter. ... full of ants the owner said he has them also they come with the season!! I could go on but I won't just don't waste your time and money!
Review 68：I did like the fact that the first day and a half I was alone in the 6 unit rental bld.
Review 69：The building the room was in was in poor repair and in need of painting. The entranceway and stairwell are covered in Astro Turf that is filthy and littered with leaves. Most of the windows are need of screens so they cannot be opened which created a feeling of suffocation. The room itself is need of updating and repairs. The room had four windows and only two had screens and one window was missing a crank-style handle so it couldn't open. The bedding was old and worn and the bed was was uncomfortable. There were also cobwebs everywhere, including on the shower wall. Overall, the room was disgusting. I would never, ever stay here again. Shame on the corporation that owns this property!
