£300 budget.

She really wants new as the money comes from stolen insurance replacement for a GT Aggressor

Halfords have her on either of these:

Or

She has long'ish legs, so a 29er rigid maybe an option

Cheers

It's for riding around the woods/field. Strictly tame girl stuff (don't take that the wrong way girls)

That looks like it may well fit the bill

Secondhand will obviously prove to be better value for money. Assuming that your gf is reasonably tall then you would definitely find something in the Classifieds.

Of course it may encourage her to cycle more which may, or may not, be what you want! 😉

I know I've seen you on them. Some are too big and some are too small. 😉
