We booked Greensands for 3 nights to celebrate my 70th birthday with our family. There was 10 of us and 3 generations. There was plenty of room in the house both upstairs and down. It was clean, comfortable and everthing we needed was on hand. The large garden was a favourite for our grandchildren. They were outside most of the time playing hide anRead mored seek and "45 and in!" The garden was also a place to sit and enjoy the views of the beautiful surrounding countryside. The location meant that all we wanted was within a few miles, local shops, pubs and beautiful beaches. A memorable few days for us all. Hide

Our second visit to Greensands as we enjoyed our previous holiday so much. Greensands is a beautiful and spacious house in a lovely location. Clean, very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, a great garden, a sunny conservatory, peace and quiet - what is not to like?

We absolutely loved Greensands and our multi generational family had an excellent holiday there. For six adults and two little ones the house had loads of space and every amenity we wanted. The beds were very comfortable and it was so dark and quiet at night (a real treat for city dwellers). The garden was fantastic, lovely planting and plenty of lRead moreawn for games. We found plenty to do in the area such as walking, Corfe Castle, the Steam railway and beaches in Studland Bay. Hide
