Mrs Johnson August 2020

“Leslie and Darren were extremely welcoming, Greenfinch was very well equipped and felt very homely.”

The outside grass area with seating in the courtyard was a beautiful and relaxing space. A stunning setting for a well needed holiday and very close to many places to visit.

- Mrs Johnson, August 2020
Mr Regan August 2020

“We all had a lovely time.”

A lovely setting, beautifully maintained gardens. Very warm hospitality and the hosts were there whenever we needed them for local recommendations or advice and left us to ourselves when we wanted that too. Nice to be on a working small holding and we were lucky to watch the alpacas being short of their wool. We were first timers here but all the other guests were returners, which speaks volumes about the experience.

Mr Winstanley August 2019

“The owners Lesley and Darren are amazing hosts.”

They were very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. A nice bottle of wine and fresh eggs from the farm chickens awaited us on arrival which was a very nice touch. I highly recommend this accommodation it’s in a very quiet and peaceful area but is well placed for doing the Devon and Cornwall sight seeing. We will definitely be going back.

Mrs Lloyd August 2019

“The cottage was fantastic, really clean and tidy with everything you could possibly need.”

The bedrooms and bathroom are downstairs, with an open plan living area, kitchen and dining area upstairs. Beautiful four poster bed which was really comfortable and a good size bathroom. The upstairs was really roomy with plenty of light and felt really cosy. In a peaceful location yet not far from Bude and all of the picturesque seaside towns and villages. The owners were really friendly and helpful. Had a wonderful week. Would definitely recommend it.

“Greenfinch cottage is in a quiet rural location.”

It is an excellent place to stay if you want to get away for some peace a quiet. It's not far from the coast (10 minutes) where we ran our dogs on quiet, unspoilt beaches. I would highly recommend a stay here where we we made to feel at home by the owners.
