Hillfield, Dartmouth

Chrissie, 29, and Paul Townend, 33, from Oxford, stayed at Hillfield Cottages 
– a self-catering holiday development – with children Toby, 3, and Sophie, 5.

“Hillfield is a slice of heaven in south Devon.With a traditional village feel, the beautiful self-catering cottages and apartments come with travel cots, highchairs and stair gates. There’s an outdoor play area, tennis courts and a small shop, too. We stayed in Vantage Point, which had its own flat-screen TV, hot tub and sauna. Most people had children, so Sophie and Toby made lots of friends. We even threw a hot tub party on the last night.”

Holiday highlight

“Our two loved Woodlands, the fantastic theme park, just down the road. There’s loads of slides, play zones and a farm. Talk to Hillfield’s friendly owners Caroline and Michael about a discount on the entry fee.”

“For free days out we took picnics to the beautiful beaches a few miles down the road.”

Essential info

Prices from £375 for seven days in a cottage sleeping four in low season, or from £500 
mid-season. For more info see www.hillfieldcottages.com or call 01803 839600.
