Review:
|
|
The accommodation is clean, comfortable and has every facility - in fact a home-from-home. The surrounding area is beautiful and perfect for walking with dogs, which is why we have been returning every year for 10 years. It’s still possible to discover new paths to walk even after all these years.

|
Specifically Recommend:
|
You can always be assured of a warm welcome from Jackie and John Gaskell and if you don’t feel inclined to venture out for any reason, there is every comfort in the accommodation provided, which includes a self-contained garden area.
|
|
Be Aware:
|
There are two studio apartments (Underbank and Greenbank View), which involve the use of stairs, although Greenbank Cottage can accommodate a wheelchair user. All offer every comfort.
|
|
Could Provide:
|
Nothing at all.

En Route:
|
|
We travelled from Hampshire which involved mostly motorway services, but the best ones for a dog comfort break are Warwick (M40), Norton Canes (M42 toll road) and Stafford (M6)

|
Sum It Up:
|
Wonderful - can’t wait for next time.

We are delighted that our guests have awarded us so many 5 stars in their reviews, and were really glad they enjoyed their holidays so much, but potential visitors please be aware that all 3 properties at Greenbank are in fact 4-star rated in the offical Visit Britain scheme. We would hate anyone to arrive and be disappointed!
We do PARTICULARLY welcome dogs - the more the merrier! For full details of all our accommodation please visit our web site here
