We throughly enjoyed our stay and the barn suited all our needs. Beds are comfortable with good quality bed linen. Great showers in both bathrooms again with good quality towels. Kitchen is well equipped too. It’s a fantastic location to walk to Blackpool Sands. The Green Dragon in the village is a very friendly pub serving delicious pizzas. Despite being close to the road it is very peaceful and quiet. Paul is a ve…

Great location central to Dartmouth. During our stay there was scaffolding up on the building in front, which initially made the steps to the property hard to locate. Cute and characterful cottage, with a little area for sitting headed and enjoying the view. It would have been handy to have a fan in the second bedroom as it got quite hot, but the window opened directly onto the steps, which would be a worry if track…

Very nice villa and very luxurious, and it was very clean. It will definitely be our option every time we come to Dartmouth. Really liked it and they were so nice and the instructions were very easy to find the villa although the road was closed, but they made it very easy to find it We reached late at night and it was raining but thanks to clear instructions. We find the villa and we really enjoyed it. Our family r…

“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 …

Me and my family absolutely loved our time staying here. The place was spotless when we arrived, and check-in was super easy. We loved it so much we’re planning on going there again! Paul was super responsive with questions, and the plot is surrounded by gorgeous scenery. Would recommend you having a car as a little run around, as everything is within a 10/20 minute drive from the lodge, but would be a little diffic…

Perfect venue for large family gathering – room choices were great. Immaculate presentation with all mod cons. Amazing views and location. Would advise travelling light as the steps down and up to the house are not for the faint hearted and there is no parking outside the property. All being said – we would definitely come back and stay – lovely!

We have just returned from a few days at the lodge in between Christmas and New Year. It was absolutely gorgeous , so cosy and in such a beautiful setting. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas as well. We really loved the log burner in the evenings, it’s clear that everything has been thought out carefully in the lodge. The beds are so comfortable and the decor absolutely lovely, we were sad to leave!
