A lovely location, where we enjoyed watching the wildlife. The cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed. A good location to visit the coast and surrounding countryside.

Green Valley Retreat was one of the most beautiful places we’ve stayed in. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. The beautiful fresh flowers, milk and chocolate biscuits were a really lovely surprise. The bungalow was spotlessly clean, the kitchen was huge and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and lovely hot showers so easy to use! This bungalow is set on over 3 acres of land where you can walk and just take in the scenery. It’s rich with wildlife lots of baby rabbits, birds and we were lucky to see a woodpecker, fox, deer, hedgehog, squirrels and the local farmers cat! We normally go out everyday when we are on holiday but one day we decided to stay at the bungalow and just enjoy it! The Rydon inn was just up the road and the food was amazing. We found Morrisons near Bude was easy to get to for all your essentials. Green valley retreat was a great location for exploring Devon and Cornwall. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Green Valley Retreat to our friends and family and would definitely stay here again in a heart beat. We were so sad to be coming home.

We loved our stay at Green Valley Retreat. Our four children enjoyed the garden and wildlife spotting over breakfast. It's so quiet, the beds are super comfy, the kitchen is fully stocked with equipment and all the crockery and cutlery you will need. Lovely clean home and we will be back. Thank you!
