Greenwood Plantation B&B

Standing up with a wonderful plantation house is superb

A little hard to find out of town, but worth the drive. Decent signage on the road and clear instructions on the webpage.

Wonderful stay. The setting was great. So quiet and peaceful. The only noise was from the birds. Lovely grounds with magnificent view of the plantation. Hostess and staff were friendly and very informative.

Nous avons passe une nuit a Greenwood. Accueil excellent - petit dejeuner super bon et copieux Visite tres agreable de la plantation inclue avec guide. Le cadre est magnifique A conseiller +++++

My first experience with a BnB and it was noteworthy.... the grounds were meticulous! I felt like I was living in the history.... the Oak garden was on of the most beautiful i've ever seen. What an experience! Thanks Greenwood! Oh and the breakfast was OUTSTANDING!!!!

The B&B was great and the breakfast was delicious! Website was true to the facts.

My girlfriend and I spent one night at Greenwood and had an excellent time. The plantation property is absolutely gorgeous and the people were incredibly friendly. We had a great time touring the plantation and talking about the recent history of the plantation. Definitely recommend.

B&B is in a quiet, country area outside of town. Breakfast was good. Rooms were clean.

We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay at Greenwood. The room and bed were quite comfortable but could have used a reading lamp. Delightful view of the plantation in the reflecting pond from the rocking chairs on the porch. A relaxing place to watch all the humming birds as well as a few deer grazing. The breakfast was wonderful! We enjoyed the tour given by the granddaughter of the owner. It was so personal and she could answer all our questions. It was so much nicer than a large tour given by someone not connected to the plantation. A great value, as the price included the breakfast and tour. Be sure to spend the extra $ to stay on the side with the plantation view.

Great get a way, excellent breakfast. Extremely helpful and friendly staff. The plantation home is surrounded by beautiful live oak trees and the house has some amazing history. I highly recommend a vist.

Very friendly people, very nice location. The room was good and the breakfast was excellent. Being away from any big road, in a lush yard made the stay very relaxing. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to take the time to appreciate Southern hospitality.

Beautiful location and quiet atmosphere. The small pond is gorgeous. It is well worth the extra money to get a room facing the plantation house. Lovely atmosphere. You really feel like you are getting away from it all here. The breakfast is big and delicious, but for us it was just grits, eggs, bacon, and canned fruit, so it wasn't as special as the other reviews seem to make it out to be. Also, although we noted that we don't eat bacon on our reservation form, the staff didn't read it so we did have bacon on our plate, which was unfortunate as the rest of the breakfast was nice.

The grounds are beautiful. And from your room, you are just a short walk to the plantation house. Breakfast was great. Make sure to ask for a room with view of the pond/plantation home.

Rooms were very nice and clean, but we were expecting them to have small refrigerators. Staff was wonderfully helpful, grounds were spectacular.

Great place to stay when we go to the Angola Rodeo twice a year! We will plan to stay at Greenwood every time we go! The staff was great and the stay was memorable.

We really loved this place but we rated only 2 stars on service because if you arrive out of office times there is absolutely no service at all. We booked 2 rooms and found the keys in the box as instructed, but the names on the envelopes were wrong and we doubted they weren't our rooms. We rang the bell to ask for confirmation but nobody came and it was only 8.15 p.m. No way to use the wi fi in our room and nobody either to ask for assistance. our problem wasn't serious but it could have been. Except for this drawback, the rooms are lovely, wide and very well decorated. The view on the park and the mansion is breath-taking and the visit to the house was very interested and pleasant as we were the only visitors at that time. Breakfast was high quality, not quantity but tasted great. Very quiet and romantic place to spend a week-end. I would certainly recommend it

We have a wonderful time. It was a beautiful stay. Breakfast was very large and very good. One thing i never seen on any of the reviews is that they also have jacuzzi tubs in the room. We didn't tour the home but we did tour the grounds and it was spectacular!! Will be going back there next year! :)

Nice big rooms with a patio in front & balcony out back to watch wildlife. Great breakfast in the morning at 9am.

We have stayed at Greenwood several times. When I want a peaceful weekend off the beaten path I aways go there and will again. Great time- good breakfast.

we came from Denmark and found a beautiful spot to relax

We arrived after dark and were pleasantly surprised to see how beautiful and comfortable our rooms were. In the morning, we were again blown away by the beauty of the view from our front door of the pond and Greenwood home across the grounds from the B&B. Our dining experience was First Class. This is one trip I will want to do again very soon.

A quiet comfortable room with a gorgeous view. Everything was clean and precise and breakfast was great! Will definately recommend and will stay there again when I am back in the area!

Joern Varming, Svendborg, Denmark It was not possible to dine at the place. I missed information about dinningplaces in the area.

This place is sooooo amazing! The beautiful plantagehouse with free tour, the amazing garden with mystic trees, all the animalnoises in the dark coming out of the wood, the frogpool, the kind service, great breakfast. We liked to stay here much longer! And last but not least we had so much fun with our buddy Rahwkstar. We miss our little friend. Thanx for everything. Lennie and Sasja

An incredibly romantic and inexpensive stay. Wandering the grounds at night and early morning was fantastic. Everyone should stay here at least once in their lives. The included breakfast was wonderful. Don't miss this hidden gem!

We enjoyed our stay at Greenwood. The food was excellent, the staff was friendly and the history of the home was very interesting. Our only issue was with the room, we could hear our neighbors talking all night. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We loved our stay. We could not asked for better service. Very Very friendly and down to earth. The grounds are breath taken. We do it every weekend if we could!

The plantation was nice and we enjoyed the tour. We picked up a key from a mailbox and was never greeted by anyone even though it was still afternoon on Saturday. The tv had bad reception and very few channels. We and other couples were left outside on a cold windy day while they were still working inside even though the dining room was set up but it wasn't exactly 9:00. At 9:00 they unlocked the door and let us all sit wherever we wanted. Still no conversation with anyone. We were served scrambled eggs, 1 biscuit, grits and bacon. Everyone had the same portion with no chance for seconds. We had coffee, orange juice and grape jelly. No fruit or any thing else. The only time they spoke to us was to ask for payment. We would NOT recommend this to anyone.

I know you posted your review some time ago, but I have listened to yours and other reviewers comments.The bed and breakfast is currently undergoing some changes in our system. I understand you had a bad experience, but I hope one day you will stay with us again and have a better experience. I agree that the hospitality is missing, and I am taking action to fix it.

We stayed two nights and had six guests also stay in the B&B. We were married on the grounds with the beautiful house in the background. The site is very romantic, and beautiful. It was a great site for our wedding. The guest rooms are nicely decorated with full amenties and very comfortable. A home cooked breakfast was provided each morning. Very secluded, private and not touristy. A hidden gem.

Enjoyed the peace and quiet. Great breakfast. Impressive house.

Greenwood Plantation is so beautiful! The room, views, tour of grounds and house are absolutely wonderful! Our breakfast was delicious!! Loved the dining room view while having breakfast!! The people are very,very accommodating and helpful. We absolutely LOVE the convenience of our keys being placed in a "special place" for arrivals (especially after hours arrivals) What a great idea for guests! That way, we know for sure we can arrive and get to our room any time we like! Definitely will go back!!

Our confirmation was for a king size bedroom, however when we arrived the room we received was a queen. For most people that probably would be no big deal, but my husband and I are large, tall people, and it wasn't a very restful night in the smaller bed.

The grounds were awesome. The breakfast was yummy. The people were great. The only downfall - pull out bed not comfortable. Decor a little dated.

We so enjoyed our stay and wished we had longer to be at Greenwood! It is so peaceful and tranquil. The view of the home and the Oaks trees around the property anytime you step outside is stunning! There are no words to describe the beauty of this place. That is probably why Greenwood has had so many movies made on the property. I took so many pictures! I think everyone should visit Greenwood, there is so much history and breathtaking views all around!

We had a hard time finding the place in the dark as the sign hadn't been replaced after road work was completed. So we mistakenly happened on Butler Greenwood Plantation B&B and were promptly chased away by Annie Butler who shouted at us, "You don't belong here!" Before we completed our reservation, we thought we'd be staying in "the big house," but instead guests are put up in a motel on the property. But the rooms are large and each has rocking chairs facing the restored Greenwood Plantation. The view is wonderful with the home, pond, and enormous live oaks dripping with Spanish moss. The price of the room included a tour of Greenway, led by the owner's young daughter. Greenwood is a movie set and the interior decorations (wallpaper, carpeting, even some furniture) are a result of decisions made by people who pay to shoot movies on site.

Chambre donnant sur la maison de la plantation. Endroit magnifique et très calme. Petit bémol : le jacousi dans la chambre était hors fonction. Petit déjeuner : très léger par rapport au standing de la chambre.

People who work there are very friendly and really care about their guests. I would definitely stay there again.

This was our second visit to Greenwood. When we got into our room on the first floor, there was a real strong mildew smell to the room and tv had a lot of static and lines on the screen. We told the managers about the tv first and they said because of the hills the reception is not very good on the bottom floors. We tried to get the rid of the mildew smell by spraying lysol, but smell lingered. Finally after my wife started getting nauseated from the smell, I went and asked management for a refund or to put us in another room. They agreed to put us on the second floor in an upgraded room with a king size bed and the tv worked a lot better. The view was alot better and the breakfast in the morning was very good.

I was not able to take advantage of the breakfast but understand it was very good. Loved having WiFi.

My husband and I and two teenage granddaughters stayed here as part of our plantations tour. It was all the website promised and more. The house is elegant and beautifully restored by a loving family that resides there. The bed and breakfast cabins were very nice and we slept well in the air-conditioned room. I think of the four plantations we toured on our trip, this one most closely represented the quiet solitude of rural plantation life. It is located on a secluded country road miles from anyone or anything to disturb the tranquility. I would recommend it for honeymoons, weddings and just a nice weekend get-away for adults. Not much to do for children.

A great stay in the super quiet B&B at Greenwood. We loved our early morning stroll around the grounds of the plantation. Breakfast was delicious. Staff were very helpful with suggestions on local tours and sights and restaurants. Would definitely recommend this great value for a night stay.

Greenwood Plantation is a beautiful plantation and a must see in St. Francisville. The bed and breakfast was very nice and a good breakfast overlooking the pond and plantation.

Lieu extraordinaire, excellent service, personnel dévoué. Une véritable oasis de tranquillité auprès d'une demeure majestueuse. À recommander!

We had a wonderful stay at Greenwood. I wish we had more time to visit St. Francisville. The breakfast was delicious, simple home cooking. Mr. Barnes gave us a tour of the Plantation and shared his family history. I appreciate learning all he shared with us. Made our stay special. Our room was very comfortable. We turned off our air conditioner and enjoyed listening to the nightlife around the pond.

Peaceful; clean. Large rooms; not crowded. Good breakfast. Biggest complaint would be lack of restaurant choices. Of course, we were there on a Sunday and Monday night, so many were closed. You have to drive a good way to get to the restaurants. Ferry closed at 8:45; we arrived at 8:55; we were told it closed at 11:30; we had to drive 60 miles to Baton Rouge to cross the river! Would visit there again. Quiet; peaceful.

This was a disappointing stay. No one greets you upon arrival. There isn't even literature in the room to advise of restaurants, etc in the area. We arrived on Sunday night and there isn't one restaurant open in St. Francisville except Church's Chicken. It would have been nice to have a host to ask for a suggestion. Breakfast was not what you expect at a B&B - more akin to a mid-price hotel. Location was lovely and room was clean, but that's all I can say that is positive. I would not recommend this supposed B&B. The hospitality one usually expects is absent.

I know that you stayed and reviewed over a year ago. I just want to let you know that I read and listen to our reviews. Currently I am making some changes to our bed and breakfast. I know the hospitality has been missing and I am taking the action to fix the problems. I understand you had a bad experience and I hope one day you will give us another chance to make a great experience for you.

The view was very relaxing and peaceful. The berakfast served was delicious. The host very very nice. The only problem I did have was that when I saw the jet tub on the website I expected it to be bigger. Also the jets in the tub did not work.

I may have made some assumptions when I booked this B&B, but the breakfast is not served in the plantation house. As it describes, the B&B rooms are not inside the house, instead they overlook the house (if you getan upstairs room) and the breakfast is served in the dining area of the B&B complex, not the house. So, you're only time in the house is in a briefly guided tour the morning after your stay. Also, this swing that is pictured was not there :( On the up side, the grounds were absolutely peaceful and beautiful. The oak trees and spanish moss made me feel so relaxed. I loved how the grounds are apart from town and very quiet. I'd go back for the peace and quiet.

Room was beautiful! It is disappointing not to have someone greet you on arrival. A key outside light was not working making it very difficult to navigate to our room in the dark. Breakfast was was a little bland with no 'southern' feel. A tour of the main house is a must.

Stayed here on our honeymoon in 2003, and went back in 2010. Great people and picturesque grounds. Only disappointed that jets did not work in the tub. We will return and always stay upstairs, to view the pond and plantation as I sit on the porch with my coffee.

Nice & Quaint. Perfect for an overnight stay. Breakfast was great.

We went there at ehe end of our vaction to relax. It was a good decision. The place is comfortable, very quiet with a very friendly staff. I would recommend it highly.

My husband and I stayed at Greenwood for 3 days in September 2010. Everything was way beyond our expectations. The staff was very welcoming and the service was exceptional! The country breakfast each morning was wonderful and very filling! The grounds were beautifully kept and the peace and quiet of the country setting was magnificent! I highly recommend Greenwood for anyone needing a peaceful and beautiful getaway. My husband and I are already planning a return visit during Spring of 2011.

Rooms were nice clean and wel kept. The TV was lacking a little but we were not threr to watch TV so that was OK. The grounds were neat and well kept and the view from rocking chair was nice. We were there in Oct. so the weather was mild at night and a little warm in the day. The breakfast was not what I expected it was tasty but the quantity was not what I thought it should be. The innkeepers were friendly and good to deal with. I will return for another visit but I will take some snacks.

My wife and I chose Greenwood for our 1st anniversary. It was very nice and the people were great. Room was what I expected, but the service and breakfast was amazing. Thanks Greenwood, will go back one day!

would recommend to anyone who needs some peace and quiet. accomodations very nice and clean. breakfast was delicious. we would definitely return.

We went to Greenwood in the dead of winter a couple of years ago when it was cold and raining. We were the only ones staying that night other than the hostess. The rooms are lot like a nice hotel, with no particular charm or historic vibe. However, everything was new and nice with berber carpet, single jetted tub and satellite tv. The location is very isolated, several miles from town and back in the country. The breakfast, value and view of the plantation were all excellent. Friendly staff. If the weather had cooperated we would have had a better time. I have recommended it to friends looking for an affordable bnb.
