We had a great time staying here with our young baby. The views are so good, when you have to stay in to do baby stuff you don’t feel like you’re missing out! Would absolutely stay here again if I was coming back to Dartmouth.

A lovely barn conversion, that is close to the beach and Dartmouth. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Location fantastic with stunning elevated views of the estuary. The pretty front garden has 2 seating areas to enjoy the panoramic views. Living room and 2 bedrooms (1 compact single and one spacious double) have lovely bay window views. Dining area to rear of living room limited for space with seating for more than 4 tricky. Odd L shaped kitchen to rear is rudimentary and a little unpractical but has dishwasher, sm…

We absolutely LOVED this gem of a place. Tucked away right on the river estuary, we had an absolutely charming weekend away with the kids and the dog. The place is very easy to fall in love with – quirky and cosy, with the best location we’ve ever had from an Airbnb. The neighbours are very friendly and the pub is great. We are so glad we took a little boat with us, we explored up and down the river (there’s a small…

We enjoyed an excellent stay at Solstice from start to finish. Great communication from our hosts throughout, excellent accommodation – from cleanliness, furnishings, equipment to comfort. In a great location with fab views of the Dart estuary. Even the parking was great as the seasonal restrictions didn’t kick in until after our stay finished!

Great location central to Dartmouth. During our stay there was scaffolding up on the building in front, which initially made the steps to the property hard to locate. Cute and characterful cottage, with a little area for sitting headed and enjoying the view. It would have been handy to have a fan in the second bedroom as it got quite hot, but the window opened directly onto the steps, which would be a worry if track…

“We wanted a special place, with great views of The Dart to celebrate our friends special birthday. Steppes House did not disappoint! The views were stunning. The main living space was perfectly laid out for spending time with friends. There are two dining tables which was great as one turned into a puzzle table whilst we dined at the other. The bedrooms were spacious and the bed were incredibly comfortable. We had …

Lovely, homely cabin in the woods. The whole place was well designed and thought out with attractive interiors. We only had breakfast in, so can’t comment on kitchen facilities really, but everything was spotless. The bathrooms had soft towels and were again very clean.

Great little find – the apartment is very well fitted out with everything you could need for a getaway. Very convenient central location but very quiet at the same time – except the seagulls! 😉
