“Fantastic location and character”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2011

Greenswood is beautiful place to stay with all the olde world charm that you may expect when staying in a Devon farmhouse. The hosts Helen & Roger serve the best breakfast I've experienced on this planet and look after you like you're royalty, but never intrusive.

There were some nice touches, like fresh milk left outside the room in the morning and proper coffee with cafetiere.

This is a good base for exploring the local area and we also managed to find two good pubs and a restaurant which we plan to revisit at the next opportunity! The Tower Inn is candle lit, very romantic! The nearby Laughing Monk is also worth a visit. On the way if you're running late visit the Sea Trout Inn, a few miles off route but we enjoyed an excellent meal

“Spot on”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2010

I fully endorse so won't repeat content of earlier reviews. The farm is of modest size with about 50 beef cows, hens, dogs and cats, all unobtrusive. You are really out in the country but you won't get mud on your shoes nor wake up to cock crowing or cow mooing, just silence. The glorious garden has very steep grass paths but you get good views from bedrooms and house entrance. The 30 yard walk from front door to car parking is level over clean concrete - no farmyard as no milking - so unless you would really have problems with stairs then don't be dissuaded in terms of accessibility.

“Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2010

We stayed here at this lovely welcoming farmhosue for two nights, everything about it was superb, our hosts most welcoming and our room a delight with wonderful views of the ever extending country garden. Tea and home made scones were served at 'tea time; in the garden (inside in the comfortable lounge if inclement weather) We were looking for somewhere to eat in the evenings and were given a folder with many many highly recommended places nearby - we opted for two in the village of Strete, a mere ten mintes drive away. Both were wonderful.

We can not recommend this lovely place highly enough - beats any 5/6 star hotel .....

“Wonderful place off the beaten track”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 July 2010

Our family stayed at this wonderful bed and breakfast farm two nights in June. We arrived late afternoon and were welcomed by the owner with afternoon tea in the beautiful gardens. We got a large en-suite family room overlooking the garden. Delicious breakfast with much choice is served in the dining room. The farm is off the beaten track and you need a car but it is a short drive to several beaches, Dartmouth and other Devon sites. We have over the years stayed in many B&B, inns and small hotels in the area but Greenswood Farm takes the first price! We can warmly recommed this place.

“Beautiful Garden”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2007

We were fortunate to be transferred to Greenswood Farm following a double booking elsewhere. We had two lovely nights and would have liked to stay for our entire holiday. The welcome was very friendly, and the setting is very peaceful and relaxing. The garden is available to relax in, and provides a great view from every window. The accommodation is very tastefully decorated and spacious, but retains the character of an old building.
The breakfast was excellent, with a wide choice of items on the menu.
We would thoroughly recommend this quality bed and breakfast.

  • Liked — The setting of the house in a beautiful garden
  • Disliked — Nothing
