Greenbank Reviews

Charles
We had a lovely time, and spotlessly clean, warm, comfortable and a nearly new home. Very comfy beds, efficient heating, and lovely for our Christmas. Couldnt really fault it. Only couple of suggestions would be to have some basic cleaning products multi purpose, a hand rail for the outside steps as they are steep, and larger towelsbath sheets although wed brought our own having read previous reviews. Nice and thoughtful to have a welcome pack too but milk was sadly out of date! Honestly though, we couldnt really fault it. Ethan was great with providing pre information too. Thank you.
Elizabeth
Everything in the house was great, we did not want for anything. The only criticism we had was the very late check in at 5pm, as we came from 2 3 hours away we arrived and unpacked in the dark. Then an early check out at 9am, we asked if we could leave two cars on the drive after checkout while we went for breakfast, but we were refused.
Siobhan
This property is totally amazing its truly stunning location. The fixtures and fittings are all top quality I just don't have enough words to say how truly amazing this property is. The beds are so comfy so much space in the house. Everything you need. The hot tub with the views topped it for me just loved it. Can't wait to return.
Beautiful home, with a million dollar view, had such a lovey family holiday, will definitely come back !
Lovely maintained house, great facilities, Unfortunately we had terrible weather so didnt make use of the hot tub. There are a lot of steps. The outside space is lovely but it is overlooking the road and is not secure for dogs. We bought a dog pen off Amazon to keep them in. The rubbish was annoyingly, 5 different bins. Bath towels provided were tiny. Lovely views of the bay from the house.
Mellanie
The house was beautiful with an amazing outlook, and only a short 10 minute walk into Woolacombe itself. Well equipped, comfortable and spacious , with the outdoor space, and storage for surfbeach items, being extremely well thought out. The communication beforehand was clear and straightforward. The only comment would be that the instructions for departure were a little overbearing. However, we are generally tidy and I appreciate that not everyone may look after this lovely property in the same way, if not instructed to do so. A gentler tone may be more effective though.
I completely agree with the other reviews in that the house is an amazing property to stay with unmatched views in any cottage i have stayed in previously. Around 510 minute walk and you are on the beach in Woolacombe which was great too. The house was extremeley well presented, maintained and confortable throughout with everything you need provided although we had our own bodyboards there was even spare ones in the outside shed. There was a problem outside of the owners control while we were there with roadworks blocking the driveway and the water being turned off but our contact and the owner were dealth with this professsionally and generously! As with a previous review I would also suggest toning down some of the posters, which is in your face as soon as you arrive and some text in the information booklet as some of it was a little over bearing, Again, as the previous review that mentioned this we always leave cottage spotless anyway so guessing from the tone maybe this is not always the case
Had a really lovely time, the property was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and amazing views. Only a short walk down the hill into the centre of woolacombe. Lovely outdoor heated shower to use before going in the lovely hot tub. It has everything you need, home from home. Would definitely stay again.
