This is an absolutely fabulous an very spacious apartment! Extremely well equipped for cooking. Really big beautiful master bedroom and bathroom and a good twin with own bathroom. So close to lovely coves, the castle, beaches. Dartmouth is fantastic for families. We loved the little ferries and boat trip to the castle plus the steam train. Also great walks round the cliffs and coves.

I stayed in Dart Lookout for 8 days and it really is a sanctuary and a place to relax and watch the world go by. Birds, cruise ships, staff from the hotel below, next door’s dog – I watched and enjoyed them all from the window seat of dreams that is the best part of this house. The big bed follows in close second – super comfortable with lovely bedding. Open the curtains in the morning and watch the sun come up over…

Ideal accommodation for music festival. Central location but away from street noise. Bunk room is rather small but beautifully formed. I stayed alone this visit but room have shared with a friend in the past during a biking tour. It was a lovely place to lay our heads. Outstanding breakfast, any options from extensive menu, included in the price in the restaurant below that is open from 7am to 2 . No booking or pre …

We have just spent the most wonderful long weekend at Steppes. It is the most wonderful house with an amazing view which was perfect for a big family get together. Coffee on the deck in the morning sunshine, looking at everything going on in the harbour and the view out to see was just incredible. Thank you for letting us enjoy this wonderful house.

Wonderful stay in Dartmouth – location of the flat is perfect, close enough to everything you need but quieter than the centre. Views are amazing and the property is very well equipped. The main bedroom could do with a bigger bed – it’s a double not a king! But overall a fantastic property and highly recommend
