Stargazy was everything I had hoped for as a surprise break for the family. House was spotlessly clean on our arrival, access was easy and the property was equipped with all the facilities we needed for our stay. WiFi was great. Our stay coincided with weather that was too hot for us to sunbathe, but the house’s proximity to the beach made it easy to take a quick, cooling swim whenever we wanted. Views from the uppe…

“What a beautiful home. So well looked after and appointed. Beautifully clean and very pretty. The communication with the owner was superb and we are certainly going to go back again. The are is fabulous and we really appreciated all the tips the owner left in a file for us. So much better than a hotel room.”

This place was better than we expected and was very well prepared for our group that also had young children. The views are absolutely amazing and it is just a short stroll into the town. We would definitely return.

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.

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.

“We’ve had the most wonderful week at Stargazy: refreshing early morning swims, surfing/boarding, coastal walks, enjoying amazing views from the deck, terrace and bbq and re-visiting our favourite foodie places! Super-comfortable beds – Paul kindly sorted non-feather bedding to allow for family allergies. Great showers and a well equipped kitchen. A generous welcome pack on arrival was a lovely surprise and the terr…

Thank you for a lovely stay in the cabin. The setting is beautiful, especially the meadow at the top. We all enjoyed using the fire pit and listening out for the birds. The river is also a lot of fun and the perfect place for playing Pooh Sticks.
