“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 …

Our stay at Lower Deck was amazing, the apartment was spacious, clean and had everything you need. A special mention must go to ‘ the trolley ‘ which made getting your luggage to and from the apartment very easy, such a great idea. one could spend the whole holiday in the apartment just looking at the view as it is so spectacular but Dartmouth has much to offer and the walk into town is quick and easy. we ate at ‘th…

Cedar house was absolutely perfect. We visited as a family of 8, 6 adults and 2 small children. The house was absolutely spotless, well furnished and had everything we needed. We genuinely could not have been happier with our stay, I would highly recommend.
