Greenbank Guest House

Back from an amazing stay at Greenbank Guest Cottages. We absolutely love it here. After not being able to go for a few years we just came back and booked Greenbank for next September also. You can not find better views right from your cottage. Our cottage -Saltwinds had a kitchen and full bath and a beautiful out door patio. Melanie is wonderful and runs the place. Very helpful with anything you need. We loved sitting out on our patio watching the sun set each evening. It is not a luxury hotel, but a warm and welcoming place with great views and dock to swim off. It’s our home when we are in Bermuda.

We've all seen the great reviews for the Greenback from professional travel sites and independent travelers but with the exception of one review I read prior to our trip in reviews on Tripadvisor, no one is mentioning the obvious mustiness in the rooms. It is clear as soon as you open the door for your stay. We left the windows open during the day and evening to try to help the situation, but it didn't work too well. An air conditioner or dehumidifier would do the trick but after all of these years, it hasn't been purchased yet. I used a blow dryer for 2 hours the night before our departure to dry all of our clothes that we had worn as well as those hanging in the closet. Not a good situation.||Reinhardt is an excellent maintenance/housekeeper/go-to employee on the premises and his kindness and efforts are appreciated. Seems to work 24/7.||The views are just as seen on the ads - waterfront. Pretty nice being that close but not the beautiful blue color.||I sent some questions to Melanie prior to our stay and received incorrect info. I was trying to get accurate info because it was difficult to find through various sources. One question pertained to the bus stop. The bus stop closest to the Cottages is about a 12 minute walk to Middle Rd and is only Bus #8 to Hamilton, not #7 as she thought. ||At this time of writing, the taxi fee from the airport is $37.40 plus tip (if driving on Middle Rd - more if on Harbor Rd). The fee is based on mileage and is government controlled. Not the $50 Melanie said.||The Salt Kettle ferry is a few minutes walk, but has limited hours. The last run from Salt Kettle is 6:25 on weekdays; and 5:05 on weekends. If we wanted to eat dinner in Hamilton, we had to take the bus back to the Cottages.||You are not allowed to bring beach chairs on the buses. Although, Melanie told me you were able to.||Bermuda is an absolutely beautiful island, and we will be back for sure, but we will stay in an alternative lodging due to the terrible mustiness in the cottages.

Spent three nights at Greenbank while on business in Bermuda. Could not have been more pleased. ||This is a comfortable guest house consisting of individual bungalows near the Salt Kettle ferry. It has idyllic views across the bay towards Hamilton and the islands. ||Melanie and her mother could not have been more welcoming hostesses. The bungalow was clean and comfortable with aircon. There was a small kitchenette with a microwave and refrigerator. ||The gardens are beautiful and very well tended. ||This is not the Hamilton Princess, but it doesn’t charge Fairmont prices, either. If you want clean and comfortable, reasonably priced accommodation near the city, this is the place to go.||Recommended.

Greenbank is a fantastic place to stay and offers the best location for access to Hamilton, swim in the incredibly warm water from their floating dock and enjoying the sunsets. The rooms were cozy, clean and comfortable and the kitchenette was the icing on the cake. One of the best attributes of Greenbank is it's 5 minute walk to the ferry. From there, a 10 minute ride takes you to the heart of Hamilton, its shops and restaurants, and from there an easy walk to the bus terminal grants you access to the entire island. The owner at Greenbank is very nice, gave us great advice and recommendations. We will definitely look forward to returning.

Although we only stayed a couple of nights in a Greenbank cottage it was ideally situated for our visit being a two minute walk from the ferry to Hamilton. The cottages were cosy and spotlessly clean. Staff were excellent, owner Melanie was so helpful when I lost my key and Reinhard when my phone wouldn’t charge. Had we stayed longer we would have taken advantage of the kitchenettes which were well equipped. If we are ever lucky enough to come back to Bermuda we would certainly stay there again.

Greenbank is a wonderful place to stay with the best sunsets in Bermuda off their floating dock.. The location is an easy taxi ride to Hamilton or during the week you can take the ferry. The rooms are lovely. I had a small kitchen and between what I brought with me on the flight and the grocery I have made lovely meals to eat on my personal deck with an awesome view of the water... Place is laid back and Melanie and her team go out of her way to provide me with all my needs.. Highly recommend

Melanie and her family are a delight! The grounds are beautiful. You are right on the water so a morning swim off the dock is a great way to start the day. There's a water taxi just a short walk from the inn, so it's convenient if you don't get a motorcycle (I am afraid!). Love having my own little space! Highly recommend a long stay at Greenbank.

Property was clean and tidy in a lovely garden setting. The pathway leads past cottages on the left that have water views of the harbor facing west. Wonderful scenic views especially in the evening with the sunsets. The rooms were comfortable and homey with everything needed for our stay. Kitchenette was adequate for our needs. Bathroom was spacious. Bed/ sitting area gave us enough room to relax when at the guest house. All in all another pleasant experience for my third stay here!
