Lovely, homely cabin in the woods. The whole place was well designed and thought out with attractive interiors. We only had breakfast in, so can’t comment on kitchen facilities really, but everything was spotless. The bathrooms had soft towels and were again very clean.

The house is absolutely beautiful and a very comfortable place to relax. The views were a joy and we appreciated the use of mirrors to enhance the views from all angles. We enjoyed the spa bath in the main bedroom. Lots of thoughtful touches.

A beautiful private house with a lovely garden for dog and children. Surrounded by high hedges you wouldn’t have known there were houses around at all. Many butterflies on the hedge in the back garden and we even had a pheasant arrive on the front lawn one day. Parking for at least 3 cars and a little path to The Village Inn, local shop/Post Office or down to the beach. The house has all you need for a multi-generat…

Spotless house and well equipped with everything we needed, but not so full that u couldn’t store anything which I’ve found with a lot of previous places. Lovely space and nicely furnished. Garden was beautiful, not that we got to enjoy it because of the weather unfortunately. Great parking on drive and brilliant to have the utility space for wet coats and wellies. We walked down the hill into town and to the lovely…

It provided a comfortable and relaxing base, with everything we needed for an enjoyable holiday. The location was ideal for exploring Dartmouth and the surrounding area, and we particularly appreciated the setting next to th…

“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 …
