What our customers say about their holidays

  We arrived at Keepers Cottage on Saturday 17 March and were immediately impressed with the location of the chalet/cottage within the holiday park.

  ...a wonderful expanse of field directly outside the chalet which our dog needed no encouragement to explore. An awesome view of the surrounding countryside and sea made for a perfect setting. The chalet itself (definitely more of a chalet than a cottage) was lovely! Spacious, very nicely furnished and immaculately clean. Great layout with sitting room, dining area and kitchen all in one open plan unit and two very comfortable bedrooms and modern bathroom off this area. Great heating, so lovely and warm and powerful shower over bath in the bathroom. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could want, with a modern oven, hob, microwave, toaster, kettle and an assortment of cooking pots, pans and dishes. Nothing left wanting! The Reception at the holiday park was closed when we were there, so can't comment and the park was quiet, but would imagine it will be busier around Easter. Unfortunately we were snowed in most of our break, so didn't get to explore much of the surrounding area that you couldn't reach on foot in deep snow, but Sidford & Sidmouth were lovely and very picturesque. Great dog walking territory and a lot of hill climbing! The very heavy snow, marred our stay a little, but we couldn't have wanted warmer, more welcoming accomodation to return to; very impressed with Keepers Cottage, would recommend.

  Lovely, very well equipped and stylish cottage.

  The view out of the patio doors at the front of the cottage is just perfect for privacy (i.e. not overlooked) and looks out onto a lush, green lawn and then the sea just beyond (the reason we chose the cottage) and the pleasant verandah is well placed for relaxing at the end of the day. We had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. The October weather was predictably changeable and quite cold on occasions, so it was reassuring to be able to return from our day trips to a cosy and toasty warm cottage. We loved visiting the neighbouring Donkey Sanctuary, which was a pleasant surprise (as we didn't know about it before our visit). The owners recommended going for brunch in the Donkey Sanctuary restaurant in their local information folder and so we decided to try and really enjoyed the freshly prepared meal we had there, as well as the view. Sidmouth town centre and pebble beach was pleasant, but Weston beach was our favourite, although access to it does involve quite a steep and challenging walk. We would highly recommend the cottage and its location.

  We loved the cottage which is modern and very clean.

  The owner has furnished the bungalow well and there is everything you need. Yes the site itself is a little tired in places but the cottage boast lovely views and out of season for us was a very quiet week. The weather obviously helps and it was glorious. A couple of things that we found which need a mention. By omission the cottage does not stand on its own and is part of a block. The photograph suggests otherwise. The biggest issue is the veranda which is joined to the one next door and is not secure so we had to block this off to stop our dog going elsewhere. That really is misleading. Also as is mentioned in the guest book several times the double mattress is amazingly uncomfortable , to the point we had to move into the other room, which actually wasn't much better. The mattress's need updating asap because if you have any back issues this would make comfortable sleeping nigh on impossible.

  We were very impressed by the standard of accommodation that suited our requirement for first time away with our dog.

  Minor comments below: We found the distance from the allocated parking to the property entrance door quite considerable given the amount we needed to bring in. Not just a couple of suitcases! Maybe arrangement on arrival and departure to drive round and park by property entrance. The site could do with a dog waste disposal bin as the bins in the Donkey Sanctuary walks are only accessible when the walks gates are open after 09:00 We were confused regarding instruction of rubbish disposal. Water flow from shower head poor, does not match flow from bath tap which was good. Maybe new hose and shower head or could it be the diverted valve in tap? On the TV hand contol on/off button, there seems to be a considerable delay (10-15 seconds) for the set to come on. Might be worth advising this in the property guide. On our arrival we found the hand control battery compartment cover missing.

  Lovely and unusual Semira was more than we expected.

  Beautifully furnished ( safari style ) with a high specification. Bed was super comfy and shower great. Wonderful views. Just my husband and myself + small dog and we found the living space just right.. The small ish site is shared with caravans passing through but was fairly quiet when we were there. The field was very well tended and cared for. There is new Shepherds Hut (High Spec with Hot Tub!) being built a couple of metres away so not sure when occupied if the noise level would have an impact as tents don't generally have soundproofing! Weather was great for our short stay so didn’t experience heavy winds or rain. Plenty of places around the area to eat and visit so it’s well located. Tina the owner has left an info sheet . There was also wine and milk in the fridge which was much appreciated. Overall we thought it great and had a 5* stay ! Thank you
