Meet your host, Suzy

Suzy is the owner of Seaflowers, which she manages alongside a corporate day job. She lives in the Seaflowers Annex, also available for guest bookings, so you’ll often find her adventuring along the coastline in her little VW Caddy van. Having explored the world, she’s now happiest in Devon, and has drawn inspiration from her travels to transform Seaflowers.

Suzy is the third generation of the Greenwood family to own Seaflowers. Raymond Greenwood found the beautiful creek-side property in 1990 with wife Evelyn, inspired by his childhood holidays in the South Hams. His son Anthony and wife Patricia converted the original bungalow into a purpose-built B&B in 2011. They ran a vibrant business for thirteen years, winning numerous awards. Having relocated from London to Devon, Suzy took over in 2024, redesigning Seaflowers into today’s modern guesthouse.

While you may or may not meet Suzy during your stay, she is always readily available and happy to help, ensuring every guest enjoys the very best experience.

Seaflowers’ coastal art and interiors

Seaflowers is made all the more unique with interiors featuring the artwork of British artist Bert Fowler, and furnishings from his homeware brand, Bert & Buoy. The central space showcases an original commission of Seaflowers in its picturesque Frogmore setting. Each bedroom is uniquely themed around one of Bert's well-known characters, inspired by Devon sea life. A stay at Seaflowers offers an immersive experience with a beautifully bright and vibrant aesthetic.

What the media have been saying...

  • “Seaflowers oozes originality and addresses your every need."

    The Telegraph, September 2024

    “Seaflowers oozes originality and addresses every need you could ever have when away from home. The calm and simple colour scheme is smart, with rustic details such as the wooden oars hanging on the wall, plus a one-off Bert Fowler commission of this Frogmore location as a framed picture and huge wall panels in the hallway… Every room is light and airy with huge windows showcasing stunning creek views. Each bedroom character will make you smile – with a throw, cushions, mugs, glasses and artwork, and a different accent colour, each of the six themes celebrates a different nautical character. Local private chef Jo can be booked in advance to provide a homemade welcome supper when you arrive; it’s a far nicer option than any takeaway, but without the hassle of cooking.”

  • "Seaflowers is a novel idea with a unique approach."

    Devon Life, January 2025

    “Suzy had a unique approach to the way she wanted to run Seaflowers. Seaflowers sleeps 14, which suits multi-generational families or groups, perhaps celebrating birthdays or special events, but there’s also the option of room only for those are passing through, or only want to stay one or two nights. Suzy also created a selection of extra packages including private chef meals for the larger group bookings from Jo Parsons, who lives in the village and runs a popular supper club. Guests can choose welcome suppers which are ready-to-go in the fridge, or a three course in-house dinner or even afternoon Devon tea. The idea is to make it completely flexible, to suit today’s holiday requirements.”

  • "The ideal jumping off point for exploring the South Hams."

    Coast Magazine, April 2024

    “Seaflowers ought to be on your ‘must visit’ list if you’re looking for a coastal staycation on the nautical side. Each of the bedrooms is themed around one of Bert Fowler’s ‘nautical niceness’ characters, and he has created a beautiful bespoke artwork of Seaflowers and Frogmore for the central space in the property. The result is a bright and lively place to stay situated in a dreamy location on the creek with amazing views. Seaflowers can be hired out completely for a party of up to 14 people or also offers a room-only option, making it the perfect destination for groups of friends or families. We loved our stay there and found Seaflowers to be the ideal ‘jumping off’ point for time spent exploring the coastline of the South Hams.”

  • "The bedrooms are bright, white and striking."

    The I Paper, January 2024

    “Bespoke, coastal-influenced artwork has been created by a Dartmouth artist for the seven bedrooms, which are bright, white and striking, with graphic prints. Outside, the lawn slopes down to the creek, where guests can play on the water.”
