Lonely Planet Review

Female- and family-friendly greenSpace is a first-rate B&B. Founded on ecologically sound principles, it promotes sustainable living. And it's all done in the best possible taste, without preaching or barrow pushing.

This architecturally designed eco house (using plantation wood and lead-free paint) sits next to a park (of the same name). Inside, three ensuite guest rooms are available, including one downstairs that's suited to a family (easy access and a tub). The two upstairs rooms can be completely contained, giving guests the choice to have as much (or as little) involvement as they want with the hospitable hosts. All windows are double glazed (keeping the temperature temperate) and soundproofed. However, its location between a large park and a small school makes noise negligible. Berry smoothies and organic coffee, homemade muesli and muffins prove that eating healthily can actually be enjoyable. You're welcome to bring along your allergies and food intolerances too, as most special needs are catered for.
