Guests say

Greenbank is a well-received holiday cottage in Woolacombe, Devon, praised for its cleanliness, stunning views, and high-quality amenities. Guests appreciate the comfortable furnishings, well-equipped kitchen, and thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. The hot tub and outdoor shower are popular features. Some guests mention steep steps and the proximity to the road, but overall, the property offers a delightful stay.

Guests consistently note the property as spotlessly clean, with several reviews highlighting the high standard of cleanliness. This suggests meticulous attention to detail in maintaining the property.

The location is highly praised for its proximity to Woolacombe beach and stunning views of the bay. The short walk to the town centre is also appreciated, although some guests noted the presence of steps and a road.

Reviewers find the beds very comfortable and the house warm and welcoming. The spaciousness and quality of the furnishings contribute to a comfortable stay, although there are suggestions for cosier lighting in the lounge.

The property is well-equipped with quality fixtures and an outdoor hot tub. However, some guests suggest improvements in facilities like the pizza oven and mention the complexity of waste sorting. The late check-in and early check-out times are also points of contention.

While guests mention welcome packs and appreciate the thoughtfulness, there is not enough consistent detail across reviews to guarantee such provisions for future guests. Therefore, a score cannot be accurately provided.

    There were a few things lacking that when paying £400 a night I would expect eg. There was no hairdryer no speaker to play music no regular wine glasses. As in some previous reviews we did find all the rules and regulations a little off putting. We stayed in a property in Cornwall in early December with a different company that felt much more relaxed. On the other hand Ethan was helpful and obliged us an extra 45 minutes on check out.

  • Amy

    Such a beautiful house and every tiny detail has been thought about. We arrived to a lovely welcome package and the house was spotlessly clean with everything we needed to make our week extra special, Such a beautiful location right by the most amazing beach! Thank you for having us we can wait to return.

  • Jessica

    Very thoughtfully equipped with a generous welcome package of essentials for when we arrived. Would highly recommend.
