April 2025I was the attending photographer at an event at Greenwoods. It proved to be an excellent venue. The staff were all really helpful and had made the room look beautiful. The sun was streaming in, and the gardens out the back made a perfect location for a family photoshoot before the event. All the guests seemed to be enjoying themselves! I look forward to visiting again some time soon.

June 2025We had a lovely day at Greenwoods for a birthday celebration. Very relaxing 😌 our lunch was scrummy. The whole place was really clean & all the staff were friendly & helpful. I had a facial by the lovely Callie who was very knowledgeable about the treatment, we chatted & laughed throughout & l left feeling & looking great. 10 out of 10 to Callie. Overall we had a good experience & would definitely go back.

May 2025The hotel has a nice restaurant with amazing food. There's a beautiful garden and a good spa. The rooms have a pleasant decor, just like the rest of the house. The breakfast was overall good, as we had the option to order warm dishes, and there were sugar-free yogurts and cereals, together with actually fresh fruit. Some weaknesses: Lack of basic toiletries and amenities in the room. We were given only one shampoo and conditioner per room (tiny bottles barely sufficient for one person). There were no body lotion, shower cap and other toiletries typically given at hotels. The rooms have no fridge or safe. The blinds let in a LOT of light in the mornings. As a spa hotel, they really should provide slippers. Robes were provided, but the staff refused to replace them despite our robes being wet. Breakfast closing time at 9:30 is rather early for those who want to sleep in.

April 2025Let’s start with the spa! It’s. 1 star for me. The spa is outdated and not clean enough! The floors need a deep clean and the place doesn’t look like the pictures. The spa staff are not as friendly. They messed up my booking and it has to be the next day so it meant that I didn’t get the ropes the next day. They said if I have checked out then I can’t have the ropes even though I was supposed to het the treatment the day before but they messed it up so it meant I had to stay longer the next day and I had things to do. The sauna didn’t even work and they did not even tell us. This was for two days. The booking line none picks up and they get back to you the next day which is awful. The rooms I’ll gives 3.5 star. Beautifully designed but no AC. Also tha bathroom are not clean to 4 star standard. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom the sink and bath water did not drain properly. So I didn’t even use the shower I use the spa one which was not great but at least it drained. The food at the restaurant wasn’t that great they charged £6 for a small bowl of chips. Also the food wasn’t great. They charged me £3 to write happy birthday on a plate. The 3 course meal wasn’t great. I had a great time because I was always and making use of the things I payed for but this hotel is not a 4 star it’s more a 3.5 star.
