“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 …

Stayed a couple of days with my partner and 3 year old and we had a great stay! Check in was really easy (though there are a few stairs!). Easy to use the pool which our toddler absolutely loved! House was clean and looked like the photos. Will definitely recommend and come again when we are next in the area! Thank you!!

Wouldn’t hesitate to recomm…

We absolutely loved the Captains Cabin! We would definitely stay again. It was so quirky and the views were fantastic from the balcony! Paul was really responsive every time we pinged a message over… couldn’t fault him at all. We will and already have recommended the Captains Cabin to our friends and family!

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.
