Lovely home, clean, stylish and homely. Great value for money. 10 minute walk into town. We got the bus up the hill easily on the way home. Responsive host. Thank you.

“Great host and property. Fully equipped en-suite. You have sink in the room and a kitchenette section (fridge/microwave/toaster) ideal for working professionals. You have easily adjustable heating and super quick warming up in the evenings (probably well insulated), free parking, nice modern shower, dim lights (nice touch) and above all flooring instead of carpets which make it even better. Highly recommend and wil…

“Stop scrolling! This place is beautiful with stunning views. We had a magical three nights stay here to recharge before Christmas. Dartmouth never disappoints and this place was perfect to relax and unwind that is just a stones throw from all that Dartmouth has to offer”.

“This place was above expectations, it was amazing. My discerning mother could not fault it. The views were amazing, sitting in bed in the morning watching the harbour activity was so relaxing, from all the windows fabulous views. The place was spotlessly clean, brilliant that no pets are allowed. Every little detail has been thought of such as the low level lights that come on if you need to get up to go to the toi…

“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 …

Beautiful house with stunning views over the Dart estuary. Great location – an easy walk into town and close to the South West coast path. House was spacious and spotlessly clean. Lovely outside terrace area, which catches the morning sun. Highly recommended.

Fantastic cottage right on the beach where you are able to watch the sunrise before braving the sea. The location is great with a good pub close by and restaurants as well as a very good farm shop which its possible to walk to. The cottage itself has everything you need with a fabulous view. Comfortable beds and great sitting and dining area. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round which was a great plus as wel…

Just back from a fantastic three nights at the place. The location of the house is fabulous, just 1-2 minutes walk from the beach. It felt very homely and comfortably sleeps 8 Breakfast on the balcony overlooking the sea and beach was sublime. Drinks up in the bar on the top decking at the back of the house in the evening with stunning views was real bonus. There are plenty of games to keep you occupied and we didn’…

Well appointment property which accurately matched the description and photos. It was clean and tidy and bright and modern. The property has amazing views of the harbour and Dartmouth Atwood the river. The steam train station is literally less than 5 minutes away and the steam trains can be seen chugging along from the property. I asked for a late checkout and Paul was very accommodating. Wouldn’t hesitate to recomm…
