The long term weather forecast for both the Easter weekend (18th - 21st April) and the first May bank holiday weekend (3rd - 5th May) is looking good, with both predicted to be sunny and dry.  Combined with a good summer forecast, the new owners at Hillfield Village predict a bumper spring and a sell-out summer for this luxury holiday complex based just three miles outside Dartmouth, in South Devon.

Recent figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed that Britain's economy grew by 1.9% last year, the fastest pace since 2007.  The increasing feel good factor that things are finally on the up is already being seen at Hillfield Village. Commenting on this, Director of Operations, Martyn Ball says: "We're feeling extremely positive about 2014. Summer bookings are already ahead of those taken this time last year and we're all set for an extremely busy time during the next few months and throughout the popular holiday season."

Hillfield Village has been under new ownership since the beginning of last year, with members of the former family partnership, Caroline and Michael Edwards, remaining at the heart of the new team on site.  In addition to being fully re-branded, with a new identity, logo and website, there has been significant investment in and improvement of the current facilities. This successful self-catering holiday accommodation 'village' is now looking forward to exciting plans for future expansion and further enhancement, at all times keeping style, luxury and relaxation in mind, as well as maintaining the very high 4-Star and 5-Star standard for which it is renowned for.

The 'village' currently consists of twenty-two self-catering cottages and six apartments, from 1 to 5 bedrooms, sleeping up to 12 guests in total.  The luxury holiday properties each have well equipped kitchens incorporating modern appliances, tasteful furnishings and luxury bathrooms (most with whirlpool baths).  A number of the larger units also have a private outdoor hot tub and one even boasts a private sauna!  With its short driving distance to the South Ham's stunning coastline plus wonderful views, extensive beautifully landscaped gardens, an all-weather tennis court, children's play areas and a swimming pool, it is easy to understand why Hillfield Village has become such a sought after destination for a family holiday or short break in Devon.

Coast & Country Cottages has been the exclusive marketing agent for Hillfield Village since 2005 and is delighted to be working with the new management team. Director of Coast & Country Cottages, Andrew Jones, says: "The future is looking very promising indeed for Hillfield Village and there is no doubt in our minds that it will become the South West's premier luxury resort in the next few years."
