Guests say
Greenridge is a well-regarded cottage praised for its peaceful gardens, spacious rooms, and proximity to the beach and local amenities. Guests appreciate the well-stocked kitchen and the welcome pack, highlighting the property's suitability for both relaxation and exploration. While some maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests willing to return.
Most guests found the property clean, with one mentioning it was tidy enough for toddlers to play. However, one review mentioned the presence of black mould in the bathroom, suggesting room for improvement in cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for being quiet, close to the beach, and within walking distance to restaurants and bars. The rough access road is a minor concern, but it does not significantly detract from the property's desirable location.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with high-quality furniture and a lovely garden. The mention of efficient heating adds to the comfort score. However, the lack of a second loo and issues with bed configuration in one review slightly lower the score.
The property is well-equipped and generally appreciated for its facilities. Some guests suggest minor additions and report maintenance issues like a broken gate and the need for general TLC, indicating that while facilities are good, there is room for improvement.
The welcome pack including milk and bread is a thoughtful touch mentioned by a guest. However, as not all reviews reference such gestures and there is no guarantee of gifts, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness.

I was looking for somewhere to grieve after losing my darling husband and Greenridge did not disappoint. It is a beautiful bungalow with high quality furniture and furnishings set within peaceful, well kept gardens. We loved our stay but would suggest an anti slip mat and a blind in the bathroom and an additional set of side plates. I was also disappointed that although described as a double bed in the second bedroom that could be made into single beds if required, the single beds were already set up. That was misleading.

Very spacious and great size tv. Although the rooms are clean, general TLC required in the kitchen and outside. Heating very efficient. Some towels need to be replaced. Good location to explore west side of the island. 15 minute walk to The Waterfront restaurants/bar to watch a beautiful sunset.

A lovely cottage which is close to the beach and the fabulous waterfront restaurant. The kitchen was well stocked and there was a lovely welcome pack including milk and bread. The road leading to the parking was a little rough but navigable. The facilities provided inside the cottage were excellent. A very enjoyable stay.
