Victoria Sugden looking puzzled next to Keepers Cottage

Keepers Cottage in Emmerdale is one of the village’s most iconic locations. So many Dale icons have lived there from Paddy Kirk to Betty Eagleton and Laurel Thomas.

Now it’s owned by Victoria Sugden, who’s just persuaded new-found half-brother John to move in too.

Which left us scratching our heads a bit because Keepers really isn’t that big! So how many bedrooms does it have and who lives there?

How many bedrooms does Keepers Cottage have in Emmerdale?

We’ve done a bit of digging and we’ve discovered that Keepers is a three-bedroom cottage.

So that left us even more confused!

Where is Keepers Cottage?

The little cottage is next door to the cafe on Main Street in Emmerdale.

The past residents of Keepers Cottage

In 1995, Seth Armstrong and Betty Eagleton moved into Keepers. They lived there until 2003, and because they took in lodgers, lots of Emmerdale characters lived there, too.

Paddy lived there for a while, so did Laurel Thomas, Sandy Thomas, Alan Turner and Terry Woods.

Victoria lived there with Betty and when dad Jack died, she used her inheritance to buy the cottage. When Betty left Emmerdale, Vic’s then-husband Adam moved in.

And when Adam left, Vic was joined by friend Rebecca White.

Who lives there now?

After Rebecca moved away, Victoria rented a room to Amy Wyatt and her mum, Kerry.

Amy’s now married to Matty Dingle and they both live at Keepers, and when Kerry returned from her stint on the cruise ship, she also came back to the cottage.

Hmm, it’s already feeling a bit snug! Plus, of course, there’s Victoria’s four-year-old son, Harry.

And now John, too!

So, we’re assuming Victoria has her own room, and she mentioned Harry’s room when she was talking to John, so that makes two. One for newly weds Amy and Matty, and another for Kerry and that’s four… Plus now there’s John to consider.

Has Keepers magically sprung a couple of new bedrooms, Hogwarts-style? Is this another mystery John Sugden’s brought with him?!
