1 Keepers Cottage, Hillfield Village

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

The kitchen was well stocked to enable a variety of meals to be made. The decor was nice and the bedding was good quality. There was always plenty of hot water for 2 adults. It was enjoyable sitting outside early morning to watch the birds in peace and quiet. A couple of suggestions; A lower tog duvet to be provided during the summer. We were staying during the heatwave and the 10.5 tog was too hot for us. The outside furniture could benefit from a clean at the front and in the secluded area. We couldn’t get the WiFi to work initially until we worked out that the password started with a lower case letter not a capital as recorded in the welcome info. We were pleased with 1 Keepers Cottage and it was a good base for the places we wanted to visit.

Immaculate cottage, immaculate setting very peaceful and tranquil.

Had the pleasure of meeting the owner Sue extremely pleasant young lady. Beautiful weather and countryside nice to be welcomed by locals

Upon arrival the cottage looked beautiful, when we entered the initial thoughts were wow such a nice property and then we started to notice things.

The place was in my view extremely dirty on all the hard floors (our white socks were filthy underneath after walking around) so we spent the first hour cleaning and while doing this we noticed cob web after cobweb especially in the upstairs bedroom next to the chest of drawers again we cleaned these away, the place needs a little TLC, painting and general upkeep, the sofas were ok but not very comfortable along with the double bed that was advertised as a king. I would recommend purchasing 4 chairs for outside the front as the property caters for 4 we could not eat all together outside during our stay, we wasn’t happy taking the indoor bench outside in case of damage Nice welcome pack was appreciated (thank you) and plenty of utensils in the kitchen to cook home meals, tennis court was great. I know I mentioned above about the cleaning but I would suggest whoever goes to check it prior to guests arriving it’s checked more thoroughly. We had a lovely break and thank you

This is an ideal holiday home with all that we required for a relaxing break in rural Devon.

The standard of furniture and fittings is of a high quality. Although the complex is down a country lane, it is withing a short distance of Dartmouth and the surrounding coastline. We hope to return in the autumn

Yes, this is a very nice holiday Cottage we were very comfortable here.

Everything was clean and easy to use as sometimes, you can get somewhere and it can be difficult to use some of the white appliances, or turning the heating on but not here everything was easy to use. It set on a very nice complex just outside of the main town of Dartmouth. Loads to do and see and very nice Restaurants in Dartmouth itself as well.

The cottage was lovely and well equipped.

The coffee machine and instructions were a bonus. We highlighted a couple of small issues and these were dealt with promptly. The village was tranquil and away from the hubbub, just what we needed. We would recommend 1 Keepers cottage.

Lovely cottage in a lovely spot.

Beautifully presented & very comfortable. All the necessary kit provided for a self-catering stay (instruction manuals for the appliances would be handy though). Lovely to be able to sit outside with a glass of wine (or two!) Close to Dartmouth and easy to get to lots of other Devon places/attractions. Really enjoyed our stay. Thoroughly recommended.

Great little house , well equipped , great location and overall excellent , no issues

Fantastic cottage, perfect for us as a couple with a baby.

Really clean and lovely decor. The owner was very kind to provide a highchair, travel cot and stair gates. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Unfortunately the toilet downstairs kept running and initially didn't fill so had to fill with water.

Tried to report it but had difficulty getting through to Sykes or owners numbers given. Top lock of stable door stuck badly so had to leave unlocked and climbed on chair to open. Needed mirror upstairs as had to dry hair in other person's bedroom and needed hanging clothes space upstairs, as no wardrobe. Few niggly maintenance issues but generally a lovely cottage, beautifully refurbished and great location.

A lovely cottage, beautiful decor and perfect for our family of 3.

We loved the location, really peaceful.
