“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 ...

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.

“The hot water in on-suite shower was hit an miss hot to start then went cooler then cold not happy with washing my hair in cold water Blinds not fastened to wall told they were safety blinds but when I pulled on them they still didn’t break I had a 5 year old in that room Disappointed with the fact of being told freezer wasn’t working when we were already on our way on the hottest day told to hand in keys there was no where to put them the office was locked and could not find any staff on phone for over 30 minutes try img to sort this out eventually a staff member arrived and was very rude about the keys saying it tells you where to put them on the door but it didn’t .”

“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 .

- Susan, September 2021

“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.

- Meryl, June 2021

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. Property Owner

“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.

“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.

About the location

DARTMOUTH

Totnes 12 miles.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

The new children’s play area with a climbing frame, slide and swings, along with the outdoor tennis court remains open all year round. Please note - tennis rackets and balls are NOT provided.

Following the completion of eight newly constructed 3-bedroom properties, further redevelopment is planned to commence during the Autumn. During the periods of property development Hillfield Village will continue to operate with as little disruption as possible, with continued access to the tennis court and play area. Please contact the Coast & Country Cottages office for further details on how the above may affect your specific accommodation.

All guests can exclusively enjoy green fees, swimming pool, leisure and gym facilities (subject to availability) at the nearby Dartmouth Golf and Country Club at Members Guest Rates, plus 10% off all spa treatments and 10% off all food and beverages in the Clubhouse Bar and Restaurant. Golf MUST be booked in advance via the Hillfield Village Reception. Any golf booked directly with the Pro Shop will not include the Members Guest Rate discount.

Due to the Health and Safety policy, any use of barbecues is strictly prohibited at Hillfield Village.
