Guests say
Guests appreciate the cottage's cleanliness, comfortable beds, and peaceful location close to Dartmouth. While some find the kitchen well-equipped, others note the lack of freezer space and complex washer dryer. The property's maintenance, such as the shower and outdoor seating, has been critiqued, yet prompt service is acknowledged. Thoughtful touches like Molton Brown products are occasionally missed.
The cottage is generally found to be clean, with several guests noting its pristine condition. However, some guests mentioned issues with shower cleanliness and dirty oven trays, suggesting room for improvement.
The location is praised for being peaceful and close to Dartmouth, with easy parking and a good base for exploring South Hams. The ongoing building work and closed pool area were points of disappointment for some.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy for smaller groups, though some mention hard mattresses and limited space when all beds are in use. The lack of hooks for towels and clothes in bathrooms was a minor inconvenience.
Facilities like high-spec kitchen appliances and a tennis court are appreciated, but issues with the freezer compartment, shower design, and non-existent Wi-Fi detract from the overall experience. Maintenance responsiveness is a positive aspect.
While some guests missed premium products like Molton Brown, there is insufficient information to assess the consistency of thoughtful gestures across all stays. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such amenities will be provided.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the stunning Start Bay coastline, 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 popular events such as the annual Dart Music Festival, Dartmouth Food Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. This historic town boasts interesting landmarks, such as Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust’s Greenway House just a short ferry ride away. 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 the rolling countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat or ferry trip across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the village of Dittisham. For those seeking sandy beaches, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular beaches just a stone's throw from Dartmouth.

Shower cubicle could do with a good clean in the corners as could the floor where the toilet brush was positioned. The brush holder was filled with dirty water in both toilets. The oven trays were dirty and we didn't use them. Have stayed in different properties in Hillfield in the past and always found them very good but I would not want to stay in this one again. I know times are hard but 2 dishwasher tablets for the week and tiny amount of washing up liquid seems very mean when you consider what we paid for the week's stay.

(Found eventually!) Hooks on the bathroom doors would be useful. The cottage was very well kept and comfortable.

The cupboards bounce down and hit your head when you open them Apart from that it is absolutely great - but pricey but great
