The place was amazing. Everything necessary was provided. Carol was always attentive (even though she was on a break at the time we visited) but Christine was around if you needed anything. I would definitely stay here again. Good base for New forest, Salisbury and coast. Look forward to our next visit

Perfect short break
We loved staying Greenbanks, the hosts Carol and Barry were most welcoming. Prior to our arrival Carol gave us very accurate directions to the property as it is a hidden gem.They greeted us on arrival and a welcome pack of eggs, milk tea and coffee awaited us. Greenbanks was spotlessly clean and the location is perfect, such a peaceful, tranquil place, yet within easy access to the New Forest, the south coast or Salisbury.We felt so relaxed and refreshed after our 2 days there which was just too short. We will definitely return and highly recommend this accommodation. Thank you Carol and Barry.

Short Break
The property has everything you need. It is very quiet once the crows settle down for the night which was interesting to watch from the balcony. The fresh eggs and milk were appreciated. The roads to the village are narrow which is expected in a small secluded place. We had a lovely stay and will stay again if revisiting the area.

Sunny countryside weekend in May
We stayed in Greenbanks (1) the lounge, bedroom, bathroom spacious upstairs with a balcony to sit out with a view across the countryside,in May enjoying the sounds of birds and sunshine. Plenty of sitting space outdoors and walks around the village,fields and woods. Village pub and cricket field a 10 minute walk. Handy pocket guides for walks from the house, though we had church bells ringing on practice evening to guide us to the Norman church too ! A tranquil place kept beautifully by Carol, excellent communication.

Peaceful Retreat
From the easy booking system through to great communication with Carol, the owner, we were looking forward to our stay at Greenbanks. We were not disappointed. The property was spotlessly clean and a great deal of thought has been put into the design and furnishing. Everything was there for us to easily self cater and, unusually, simple to use. The views can be appreciated from a patio and balcony. It is so quiet and yet lots going on. Fresh eggs from the hen house, fruit and veg - pick your own. The wild birds are relaxing to watch, had me reaching for the binoculars (supplied) and identifying ( book supplied) two green woodpeckers feasting on worms under the lawn. The local area has much to offer, managed three long walks. My vote goes to the circuit of Christchurch harbour, along Hengistbury Head with a ride on the Mudeford Ferry completing the hike. All in beautiful sunshine. Thanks to Barry for the tip on driving to Lyndhurst, worked a treat. Parish circuit walk completed. Would highly recommend Greenbanks as a beautiful place to stay, very comfortable and Carol is so helpful. Easy 5 stars, thank you.

Relax in the New Forest
On arrival we were warmly welcomed by the owner. There was tea, coffee, milk and home laid eggs in the kitchen. The garden and surrounding area were very relaxing with fields and trees; plenty of birds and wildlife to watch. The property was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. Up to date information for the area, including local walks and short strolls around the village, were supplied. Internet and mobile signal were intermittent. So you need to be able to disconnect!! A calm and relaxing place for a couples break.

We had our first stay at green banks, such a breath taking experience, with views from beyond, wildlife all around, Carol was very officiant we rate our stay 5 stars 🌟 very impressed with the attention to detail, fresh eggs for our breakfast from the farm, and on arrival a pint of milk after our nearly 3 hr drive, a much needed up of tea, just perfect, we hope to visit again next year, we didn't visit all of the wonderful places near by.
