Welcome to Steppes, our exquisite retreat for up to thirteen guests in Dartmouth. The property epitomises coastal life at its very best. Sitting amidst the backdrop of the River Dart and rolling Devon countryside, your dream holiday begins here.

From the moment you open the gate to this property, you are rewarded with the most incredible views. Access the front door via several steps, and the hallway will lead you to the open-plan living area. Entering through the front door, the hallway leads you to the open-plan living area.  There is a dining table to seat your whole party comfortably, plus an island in the kitchen for sharing stories whilst you cook.  The kitchen is modern and immaculate, with everything you could need and more to create culinary magic. The lounge overlooks the River Dart, with floor-to-ceiling windows spanning the whole wall.  The space provides ample seating, with two sofas, two armchairs, and a few bean bags. The windows open onto a balcony area with comfortable seating and stunning views.

To best suit families or groups of friends, the bedrooms cater to all generations, sleeping thirteen comfortably across six rooms.  One is located on the same level as the living area, with the rest located downstairs.  The bedrooms consist of three super kings, one king, one double, and one cabin-style room with three single beds.  Large windows provide an abundance of natural light throughout all the bedrooms.

There are two family bathrooms, one with a large bath, and two separate toilet rooms.  A separate snug can also be found on the lowest level, underneath the main lounge area. It is the perfect second living area, fit with a telescope, ideal to keep the kids entertained when the sun goes down.  The snug opens onto a grand decking area complete with outdoor furniture, perfect for an afternoon of relaxing and watching the boats sail by.

Start the day sipping coffee from one of the balconies, laze in the afternoon sun, and finish the day with a family barbecue on the Astro-turf garden. If you are looking for the perfect holiday in Devon, then this is the spot.  With beautiful river views and a stone’s throw from the town centre, it will not disappoint.

There is additional guest accommodation in ‘The Boathouse’. Sleeping five more guests, the space is available on request.

Steppes is located on the water’s edge and less than a two-minute walk from the centre of town. Dartmouth boasts some fantastic bars, restaurants, independent shops and parks for you to indulge in and enjoy.

What makes Steppes extra special is that the entrance is located on the South West Coast Path.  There are a number of walks that can be enjoyed just by stepping out the front door, including a short stroll to the Dartmouth Castle.

Steppes is the perfect base for exploring the best of South Devon. Local beaches, including Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, are a short drive away.  Or visit the nearby towns of Salcombe, Brixham or Totnes.  Take a trip on the steam railway or get out on the water. There is so much to explore and discover!

Dartmouth is an all year round destination hosting a variety of regional events to enjoy on your Devon break like the yearly Dart Music Festival (May), the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta (August), and the October Dartmouth Food Festival (October).

When booking, there is the option to add ‘The Boathouse’, sleeping five more guests and available on your request.  The accommodation is self-contained with a small functional kitchen, bathroom with a shower, and two bedrooms.  Please advise when booking if you would like this additional space.

Although the property is located right on the river, there is no boat available to use and we advise that the property isn’t suitable for young children due to the proximity of the water’s edge.

We advise that, on arrival, you drop off luggage and park the car for most of your stay.  Parking within the town is often not the most convenient, especially during the summer months.  We recommend using the Park and Ride service located at the top of the town next to Dartmouth’s two main supermarkets.  For more information and guidance, please ask when booking.

Steppes provides waterside living at its best whilst allowing you to access the town with ease.  The car can be left behind for the entire duration of your stay in the beautiful town of Dartmouth!

"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."

Dripto, June 23


"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!"

Sophie, March 23


"Although there are a number of steps down to enter the house, do not let that put you off as the location and view over the river are outstanding and truly compliment an exceptional place to stay. The host responded to one question we had within 5 minutes and as a party of 12 we all had such an amazing time with plenty of room in the house and numerous excellent restaurants and bars within a 3/4 minute walk. This property really has to be seen to be fully appreciated and we would all highly recommend the house along with the host."

Alex, Oct 23


"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".

Kim, Dec 23


"We had a wonderful stay at Steppes House in Dartmouth. The house was perfect for our large size party. The open plan kitchen/ lounge was a brilliant social area with gorgeous views of the water and Kingswear. The bedrooms are all nicely separated from each other for added privacy. The added touches of the gin and candles was well appreciated. Will highly recommend".

Hayley, Feb 24


"We absolutely loved our stay at Steppes House from the first moment. The open plan kitchen and lounge with the views of the River Dart were stunning. Everything was quality with such attention to detail. Anyone who books here will not be disappointed. However due to steps it is not suitable for people with mobility issues."

Christine, March 24


"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".

Marie, April 24


"Steppes is a perfect riverside house, immaculately presented, all very clean & tidy, spotless really. The whole house is orientated to enjoy the beautiful view of the river & out to sea. The furniture is all extremely comfy. It was perfect for our family get together of all ages & all the restaurants, pubs, cafes are within 5minutes walk from the Steppes. We hope to return again".

Mike, July 24


"The views from this house are incredible! We were lucky to have amazing weather for the end of October and opening up the doors in the living area and over looking the water for breakfast was stunning. Plenty of room for the 12 of us. Kids also all loved it here, youngest being 4. Would definitely stay again"

Emily, October 24


"The property was fantastic for our New Year’s Eve family gathering. Close to town, beautifully designed, and of course magical views. On top of this, great, responsive hosts. Will be back".

Ben, Dec 24


"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".
