Beautiful sea views from this charming house

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - fabulous location and very well stocked house right on the beach. The house felt so homely - more like someone’s home than a rental - great cafe/restaurant 20 mins walk down the beach.Our age range was 23 through to 88 - something for everyone.

Amazing location and great accommodation

This really is the most fantastic location. Fabulous sea views, beautiful sunsets, rabbits playing on the lawn, great walks, quiet and peaceful but near lots of places to visit if you want to. The cottage itself is also wonderful - very comfortable, well-equipped, spotless - the pictures don't do it justice, even though they are lovely! Communication with the owners and their team was excellent, they were very responsive to any queries we had. On their recommendation we had a delicious Sunday lunch at the Manor House in West Bexington, just along the coast path from the cottage. I would recommend this as a great holiday destination to anyone, and really hope to be able to return some day!

Breathtaking location

Five of us stayed in October including my 80year old parents. We had such a wonderful time. The location is stunning with sweeping views of the English Channel. The house is big and has lots of different spaces to get away from each other if you need to! Kitchen is fully equipped - you don’t need to bring anything. I also love that the house is still owned by family members, I wouldn’t ever sell it. It’s gorgeous.

Absolutely wonderful

We loved our week at Greenbanks. We have stayed in many holiday homes over the years and loved pretty much all of them, but Greenbanks is an absolute star. The location is delightful and so quiet, which is great. The house is beautifully furnished and very homely. It is made extra special by the mentions and photos of Gt. Uncle Edgar and Aunt Marian and all the family books and furnishings. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with just about everything you need and all of it is high quality. You could even bake a cake if you really wanted to go that mad on holiday. Thank you to the lovely owners and to Nina and co for their wonderful care.

Stunning setting

The setting is a real wow. You arrive along the shingle beach and then can see no other buildings. The house is warm and comfortable. If anything there is too much kitchen equipment so there are few places to store your own. The dinning area has a fabulous. Outlook, the lounge a cosy fire. The weather whilst we were there was stormy so very exciting. The upstairs beds and baths were. excellent . The downstairs bed is comfortable but in a very small room. The wet room was vg indeed

Wonderful location, immaculately presented.

Our second stay, a beautifully presented property almost on the beach (Chesil Bank), ideal for a family holiday. A peaceful location, no passing traffic, a wonderful place to spend a day on the terrance watching the sea, enjoying a BBQ or playing with the kids on the lawn. It is a pleasant 20/25 minute walk along the Dorset Coatal Path to West Bexington with its sea food restaurant or Abbotsbury’s Sub Tropical Gardens with its excellent tea room. Perfectly placed to explore the Jurassic Coast and the beaches at Weymouth or Lyme Regis. Some practical points, Waitrose will deliver, be careful on Chesil Bank it’s not safe for bathing and Children need careful supervision.

Greenbanks June 2019

We love the house. Another great fortnight in Dorset. Have rebooked for next year. My only (very small) disappointment is the fact that the anglers come and park their cars and 4x4s right in front of the house - any chance of putting a stop to that? Is the NT a help (or hindrance) here? We liked the small changes you had made to the property - shelves in kitchen, etc. The housekeeper is always very helpful. Many thanks.

Perfect, even better than we expected

The location, the house, wow this was absolutely faultless. 7 adults, 1 teenager and 2 two dogs for 3 nights at new year and it was everything we hoped for. Spectacular views and perfect for the storm as we hunkered down and had a fire in the comfortable lounge playing games. We all found the beds extremely comfortable and each bathroom was spacious and very clean. The whole place, just incredible!

Fabulous location, fabulous house. My house guests were also hugely appreciative. Thanks to the housekeeper for a swift response to very minor queries. No anglers parking on the track in front of the house, thank heavens!! Just a little corner of paradise, with loads of peace and quiet.

Wonderful stay in a spectacular location

We have felt really privileged to be able to stay at this most comfortable and uniquely located holiday home. The views from inside and outside this most lovely house are breathtaking and ever changing. Waking up to the sound of the waves - it was so hard to leave. The homeowners have thought of everything to make this a beautiful and most comfortable home from home. The detailed guide along with such comforts as a wine fridge and lovely rocking chairs and swing seat to gaze at the sea and seabirds and watch the sun go down over the coast - every evening was different and a glorious way to relax. Abbotsbury is a lovely village - we swam, fell in love with the blackcurrant and clotted cream ice creams at the beach cafe, very much enjoyed the subtropical gardens, and walks up to st Catherine’s chapel, swimming, walking up golden cap etc, and We would love to come again, thank you for everything- we want to mention Shirley who is an excellent house manager - her communication is very helpful and professional Thank you for everything

Just beautiful

Fantastic introduction to the property from Shirley. Beautiful property, clean & equipped with everything you may need. You can forget all your troubles when you are surrounded by such comfort and views out to sea. A few metres walk to the shingle beach and a great base from which to explore the surrounding area. Traveled with 3 generations, with party members aged 3-80. Visited Abbotsbury Gardens, the Swannery, Weymouth & Lyme Regis. Unable to get a table at any of the recommended eateries, so booking in advance recommended.

Excellent stay next to sea and countryside

Super! The larks sang every day as I had breakfast in the garden. We loved the house, as always. Many thanks for the small improvements, especially the new rail by the steps up to the utility area. The downstairs shower needed a repair and Shirley came promptly and the plumber turned up first thing next day, so we didn't lose any holiday. Brilliant.
