“Wonderful little hideaway with everything we needed for a relaxing week away. Beautiful surroundings with a stunning view where I could eat breakfast whilst watching the swallows and go to bed listening to the owls hooting.”

“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 bedrooms were spacious and the bed were incredibly comfortable. We had …

Extremely cosy and spacious cottage set in a beautiful setting. We felt at home straight away in the warmth decor and spent the perfect Christmas with the family. The host was very proactive and welcoming. I would strongly recommend Cedar cottage for families looking to explore Devon.

We had a wonderful stay, the accommodation was spacious, layout was perfect for us as grandparents were accommodated on ground floor and our 2 families upstairs with a perfect split with 2 bedrooms each with a bathroom. The kitchen facilities were excellent an air fryer washer dryer. Ample f…
