Guests say
1 Keepers Cottage in Hillfield Village, Dartmouth, is a beautifully refurbished property that offers a tranquil and comfortable stay. Guests have praised its cleanliness, lovely decor, and the peaceful location. The cottage is well-equipped for a self-catering holiday, and the owner's provision of baby essentials is appreciated. While there are some minor maintenance issues, these do not detract from the overall positive experience.
The cottage is consistently described as clean, with one review specifically noting it was 'really clean'. This suggests high standards of cleanliness.
The location is praised for being peaceful and close to Dartmouth, with easy access to Devon attractions, indicating a very good location.
Comfort is highlighted with terms like 'comfortable' and 'perfect for our family', although the lack of a mirror and wardrobe upstairs suggests some room for improvement.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and bonus coffee machine. However, maintenance issues like the toilet and stable door problem lower the score.
While the provision of a highchair, travel cot, and stair gates is thoughtful, there is no mention of gifts, and thus the score is set to null. It should be noted that such thoughtful gestures are not guaranteed.

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.

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 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.

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.
