"The only observation is that the freezer compartment in the second fridge (the primary one doesn't have a freezer compartment) is only for ice cubes."
As such, you can't use it for other items (ice lollies, ice creams, frozen food etc)... we experimented on some cool box ice packs and they didn't freeze so the above is true.
As a family with small children, it would have been beneficial to have been able to have had ice cream/ frozen food stored in a freezer - which we were able to do within a similar property on the same site last year.
Thank you for your feedback of 1 Coachman's Cottage. We are sorry to hear you experienced difficulties with the freezer compartment. The property owner has recently undertaken extensive remedial works to the property, including replacing the freezer box. We hope that despite this issue you enjoyed your holiday in beautiful Devon.

"The property is showing its age."
This particular cottage (1 coachman’s) gets no sun and unlike all of the others has no private balcony or seating area outside other than a very uncomfortable picnic bench on a slope. The bathroom is smelly due to lack of ventilation and the towels never dry. The tiles need a re grout and shower a re Mastic as a minimum. The shower door runners broke due to age on the first day but I have to say maintenance were very good and fixed it on a Saturday. Although there is a shower over the bath it is not the type of bath you should put a shower over as the bottom is rounded. We are fit and have good balance and although I hate them, I think it needs a rubber mat for safety. There are 2 fridges but neither ice box works sufficiently well even for ice cream. The washer dryer is complicated, even reading the book I could not see how you could set the dryer separately. (I wanted to dry the wet towels) We had a great holiday and enjoyed the tennis court. The surrounds are lovely and it is a great location for Dartmouth but the property is in need of a refurb.
Thank you for your feedback of 1 Coachman's Cottage. We are sorry to hear you experienced some issues during your stay, but are glad to hear that our maintenance team were helpful and prompt.
The property owner has now completed extensive remedial works to the property, including fully regrouting both bathroom floors, fully replacing all silicone in both bathrooms, painting the bathroom ceilings with anti mould paint, replaced two front facing windows and replacing the freezer tray.
Despite the issues you experienced we are glad to hear that you had a great holiday and hope to welcome you back to beautiful Devon soon.

"Although the cottage was nicely furnished, we did find the mattress,s a bit hard ."
There was no plug for the sink in the family bathroom. And the shower tray wasn’t clean , we did feel it needed some work done on it .

"We have spent several holidays at Hillfield and always really enjoyed."
The cottage was lovely and clean. Just some feedback, fridge is very small for 5 people staying, could do with hooks on bedroom and bathroom doors for hanging towels, gowns. It was disappointing to see all the building work ongoing , the pool area closed and the shuttle board game gone. Some guests were using the tennis courts to play football on several occasions.
Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are so pleased to hear you loved the property. We have passed all your comments on to the owner who will look at each point, we can confirm that a new fridge has been installed recently. We can only apologise that the building work is ongoing, there is a note that appears when booking on the website to make you aware of the works on site along with any other information that is important, for example the swimming pool closure. We do hope you had an enjoyable stay in spite of these issues and look forward to welcoming you back to the area soon.

"We have stayed at Hillfield village once before, so we knew what to expect on arrival."
We stayed over the May bank holiday and it was lovely and peaceful. We hadn't stayed at 1, Coachmans cottage before and have to say it was exceptional. It was pristine ! I could not fault it at all. If I were to be picky I would say that I missed having my Molton Brown products this time! But that is really picky, I know ! I would highly recommend The cottage as It is so close to Dartmouth and easy to get to. I would book again.

"Excellent stay."
Lovely cottage, not huge but well designed. Perfect for the 2 of us. Tight in space for 6 adults. Small but totally adequate kitchen with high spec appliances and dishes. Lovely bed and bedding. Decent bathrooms. Comfortable lounge. Easy parking. Very good location, 2 miles from Dartmouth. Hillfield is a complex if a number of stylish cottages.
We would return.
Thank you for your review! We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you at Hillfield Village again soon.

"Hillfield Village is an awesome destination, we will be coming back later in the year for sure."
The cottage was bright, clean, spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The outdoor area is great for the kids to run around & play in a safe environment, meaning we didn't have to watch them all the time, and they had fun. They also made friends with other kids playing there. Staff on site were cheerful, polite and always willing to help. The location is perfect to explore the South Hams area.

"The cottage was clean, comfortable and more than adequate for our needs."
Outside there was a useful picnic table / bench.
We asked for 2 garden chairs & these were promptly produced which made sitting outside more comfortable.
