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.

Steppes House Dartmouth

Beautiful location with wonderful views. Ideally situated with local amenities conveniently situated. Not easy for those with walking difficulties as there are steep steps down to the property. Does need some attention to the interior and exterior decoration as it is showing signs of wear. That aside this is a very nice home to enjoy whatever the weather with picture windows and rap around terraces
The most beautiful property!
Lindsay
The most beautiful property! The view from house was spectacular, the whole house was decorated beautifully. You couldn't find a better spot up the River Dart to watch the boats go by and the sun rise. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Truly Breathtaking
Tracey
What a truly breathtaking property. The pictures just don’t match up to the wow factor when you walk in. Of course the unbelievable views help , but the house itself is beautiful! Right on the river , we could have stayed on the balcony for the whole weekend just relaxing and enjoying the view. Location was fabulous, beds were comfortable, and the house was spacious and I loved how it was on different levels so you can always “escape” for a breather for 10 minutes! The kitchen is fantastic and the big fridge freezer with an ice machine was a great help! I don’t have a single “con” When directing my party, I told them it was easier to use the “what3words” that Paul provided in the check in message (rather than the postcode),then look for the “steepes” sign on a cream pillar. Thank you so so much for providing such an amazing base for us to celebrate! We will definitely be booking again!"
The WOW factor!
Ryan
"Well, this place certainly has the WOW Factor… absolutely stunning, I don’t think I’ve ever walked into a house and been blown away like this before. I booked this for my family to celebrate my sisters 40th and we all had the best time, the house is faultless and simply amazing, the views are amazing, location wise it’s a short walk to all the shops and pubs which again is a big plus, Paul was a great host friendly and always responsive. Left a lovely welcome pack which was a nice touch. Would definitely book again and hope to do so in the future".
Special Place
Marie
"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 the most amazing time at Steppes House and would love to stay again".
Breathtaking!
Rebecca
"This house is absolutely breathtaking, the most fabulous place we’ve ever seen! Wow! Perfect location, perfect hosts. They even kindly let us extend your checkout which was so so kind. Can’t wait to return, photos don’t do this place justice!!! I can’t wait to stay again! Kitchen well equipped, we cooked supper for 10! Fab! Comfortable beds and luxury bedding, such a treat!"

Slice of heaven
Dripto
"Slice of heaven. The pictures and all the positive reviews aren’t even close to what you will experience once you step in to the property. Fully equipped - basics easily acquired from a local co-op down the road. Three levels of views for guests to enjoy - picturesque, panoramic, stunning."
Magical
Kim
"This is a magical home with the most beautiful view of the sea entrance to Dartmouth. Couldn’t have asked for better weather in December waking up to blue skies and sunshine. It’s worth the journey once you navigate all the steps and luggage down to Paul’s place. Would come again and bring more guests as there is plenty of room here for a big group. Love all the balconies and different levels of the house. Having a boat in the summer would be the icing on the cake too. Thank you for creating a beautiful idyllic home by the sea in this charming town".

Welcome to Steppes. Stylish by design and generous in space, this beautiful family friendly retreat is perched just above the River Dart, accessed via a series of steps that lead you down from the quiet road above. But once inside, you’re immediately rewarded with one of the most spectacular views in Dartmouth, stretching up and down the river, all the way to the mouth of the estuary.
This luxury holiday home in Dartmouth combines comfort, character, and location to create the ultimate setting for a coastal escape. The open plan living space is the social heart of the property, featuring two dining tables for shared meals and celebrations, a sleek kitchen with island seating, and a stylish lounge with floor to ceiling windows that frame the panoramic river views.

There are two stylish family bathrooms (one with a large bath), along with two separate WCs for added convenience. On the lower level, you'll find a cosy snug, the perfect second lounge, complete with telescope, books and games, and direct access to a large, decked terrace with outdoor seating for sun-soaked relaxation.
Outside, the Astro-turf Garden is perfect for family barbecues or simply unwinding with a glass of wine in the evening sun. And for those requiring even more space, The Boathouse, a charming annexe in the garden sleeping five additional guests, is available on request.
