“Just had a lovely week at Hillside Village - Keepers Lodge was excellent - great design - clean with high class fixtures and fittings .”

The whole family enjoyed the accommodation/Hot Tub/Tennis Court - however - prior to arriving you made no mention of the various several building schemes going on around the site currently and the “missing” boules area and we were also told that the old swimming pool area had been redesigned into a family area - it is still a derelict pool/building site - and that whole area is unsightly - we would return when it is all finished - hopefully there will be more family friendly amenities ...

“Great relaxing holiday for our family.”

Accommodation, not least the hot tub, brilliant and a very high standard. Great base from which to explore the area with a beach close by. A pub within easy reach also, The Sportsman, ideal for a good meal with lots of choice. We will certainly recommend Hillfield to our friends, well done Sykes, we all want to return that’s for sure.

“Booked this holiday specifically for the outside swimming pool Very disappointed that it was not available”

- Mrs Harben, July 2021

Thank you for your recent feedback of Keeper’s Lodge. At the time of your booking the information on our website clearly stated that the swimming pool would remain closed until further notice, due to the ongoing covid-19 situation. Further plans were then produced to redevelop the pool area during 2021, replacing it with an outdoor recreation area available for all year round use. Upon receiving this information we emailed you to make you aware that the pool would be closed. This is in accordance with the booking terms and conditions, which state that amenities can be withdrawn at any time. Despite these issues we hope you enjoyed your time in sunny Devon. Property Owner

When holiday was booked I did not see any mention that the pool and children's play area was not going to be available, it was only some months later I received an email to say they will be closed, I thought only the assumption it was due to covid, but when we arrived we saw other building works being done that was not mentioned, very disappointed and dispointing for my 4 grandchildren, the accommodation itself was first class, I will not be recommending that holiday village or maybe sykes holidays in the

Thank you for your recent feedback of Keeper’s Lodge, we are glad to hear that you found the accommodation to be of a high standard. At the time of your booking the information on our website clearly stated that building works were ongoing at Hillfield Village, and that the play area would be closed. We are sorry that you missed this when making your booking. Further plans were then produced to redevelop the pool area during 2021, replacing it with an outdoor recreation area available for all year round use.

“The village and lodge, we cant fault, but the swimming pool being closed and kids play area really impacted our holiday for our 2 kids, after being told the pool was shut due to covid, once we found the pool it was actually under repair, having a new floor by the looks of it, I did wonder why pools were open at our last place the week before in st ives, it seems you've used the covid situation to repair the pool, but sadly the 2 draws for the children were missing, we enjoyed our stay but it did affect the overall enjoyment.”

I tried to discuss and sort some form of recompense before the holiday to be told it's not your fault but the government said pools could open and you chose to repair the pool in height of season and close the play area, it says on the hillfield website you'll follow government guidelines....with hillfield village "repairing" it in height of season it then gives you a reason not to open it as it wont be possible, I feel it could of been done after the height of season, after all the tennis court was a free for all whilst we were there! .

“Fantastic property, photographs don't do it justice, masses of space and excellent facilities - everything you can think of is provided.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday, the house was lovely, clean and spacious and we would most definitely book again.”

There were only two things that we felt you could improve on: 1. One of the reason we booked the holiday cottage was for the swimming pool, but unfortunately we could not use the swimming pool as it was not heated. It may be worth your while investing in heating the swimming pool especially for guest like us that booked near the end of the season and the weather isn't that favourable. 2. Lack of recycling facilities. There was no special bins for recycling, at home we have all different bins for each product and it grieved me to be putting all different rubbish, ie food, cans, paper, plastic in the same bin. The only recycling you did was glass.

- Mrs Hirst, September 2019

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Keeper's Lodge. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We have passed your comments regarding the benefit of a heated pool on to the Owners. With regards to the recycling Hillfield Village offers a ‘zero to landfill’ waste solution on site. This is an extremely sustainable system and is more effective environmentally than normal home recycling. We ask guests to separate the glass as this is placed in a separate bin, but all waste is recycled. For more information please have a look at the link below for the waste management company Devon Contract Waste:https://www.dcw.co.uk/zero-to-landfill Hopefully we can welcome you back to Devon soon Property Owner

“The Keepers Lodge was fully equipped with everything for an enjoyable holiday, The hot tub was a just the right temperature for all of us to enjoy, and the rooms were just right for us.”

There was plenty of hot water for all of the showers and jacuzzi bath, which has used daily. The gardens were beautiful and well managed, maybe a 2nd tennis court could be added. Maybe a map showing were the nearest supermarket could be added to the welcome pack for future guests.

Mr Hoar May 2019

“Keeper's Lodge was an excellent holiday cottage.”

The facilities were first class and Hillfield Village itself was an excellent place for families with very friendly and helpful staff. One minor comment, the swimming pool was unheated, which was not specified.

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.

Plans are being produced to redevelop the previous swimming pool area during 2021, replacing it with an outdoor recreation area available for all year round use. We will provide further details when available.

The children’s play area has been newly redeveloped to include new climbing frame, slide and swings.

The ongoing construction of eight 3-bedroom properties on site is ongoing. Further redevelopment is planned to commence during the autumn/winter. 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 & 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.
