About this house rental

Light and airy this newly renovated property is situated in a central location, close to all the amenities that Dartmouth has to offer but tucked away up School Steps, which is a quiet secluded location. There are 54 steps in all but the reward is the view, of the sea, river, castle and Kingswear.
Our property is an old coastal cottage with a modern twist. It provides the perfect location to sit and take in the river life, the steam trains or as a base to explore the areas many attractions.
You access property through front door, which leads to a Hallway, with a downstairs shower room, perfect for coming straight in from the beach! From the Hallway you can either go upstairs or you can go into our sitting room, with feature fireplace and breath-taking views over the river and out to sea. Our very well-appointed kitchen is a great place to entertain with a large table making the most of the views. Upstairs we have one Master bedroom, with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, this is accessed by a separate staircase that leads from the kitchen. Upstairs there is also great twin room and a further double room, which are accessed by the main hall stairway. There is a large family bathroom, with a freestanding bath. All of our bedrooms have smart TVs and comfortable beds.
Our family house is a great base for a stay in Dartmouth
Please Note: There is no allocated parking for this property.

Have stayed at School Steps several times now with the family. It really is a superb place to spend a week in Dartmouth. Clean, modern and, as long as you don't mind walking a few steps up, ideally located. Dani is an excellent host, always on hand to offer help if needed.

A great time was had by all the family. We loved how centrally located this house is and of course the wonderful estuary views. Really close to shops and restaurants. Easy ferry rides to Dittisham, Kingswear and Dartmouth castle. Teenagers found it easy to use public transport to visit Salcombe, Slapton Sands and Exeter. Plenty to do for all ages. Fab place to base your holiday.

We regularly visit Dartmouth and this house is the best we’ve stayed in so far, it really does tick all the boxes! The panoramic view of the river Dart makes the climb up the 50 odd steps worth while, which did get easier throughout our stay. A modern, yet cosy, beautifully appointed house thats was spotlessly clean. We had a fabulous Christmas here and hope to book for 2024.

Had a lovely stay. The house is very nice, all clean and very close to the town and river. Kitchen with plates, cutlery etc. Beds clean linen. You soon get used to the steps, but would not suit anyone with limited mobility. Second time we have stayed and hope to return.

We have stopped here a couple of times now and love it, great view and very well presented home. As regular visitors we would check availability here first but it’s normally booked

Stunning views of the estuary and out to sea. Beautiful house just as described in the listing. Comfy beds. Good showers. Moments walk from central Dartmouth. So pleased we weren’t put off by the lack of parking and surplus of steps (apart from loading and unloading the steps didn’t cause us a problem. There are 2 flat bits in between the narrow flights of steps where you can have a breather if needed). You can park at the top or bottom of the steps to unload. There are several free unlimited parking spaces at the bottom of the steps, but they scarcely become free (we stayed during the end of July). Mostly we parked about 1 mile out of town and walked in. Worth it for the views 😀

Third time we've stayed at School Steps. Beautifully appointed modern cottage in great location as long as you can make it up the 50+ steps.

Lovely house, thank you! Amazing views from all the bedrooms and living room and a well-equipped kitchen. And we loved seeing the steam train tooting along on the ‘other side’. The steps up to the house were ok for me but could be challenging for some especially when loading and unloading. We found the parking was fine in August - continue up the hill and there were normally bays very close by that were free from 4pm-11am. The town is lovely too with lots of restaurants and life and we would love to come back. Beautiful countryside. Thank you.

A lovely property in the heart of Dartmouth town, close to shops, pubs and restaurants. Beautiful view from the terrace across the harbour to the steam railway and down to the castle and the sea beyond. Check in was easy and the place is modern and everything worked fine. Bed was comfy and rooms share the view across the harbour. As said elsewhere there really are a lot of steps, so may be difficult if you struggle. Parking was fine, with 1 and 2 hours bays nearby and other free options further afield. We overstayed parking a number of times without penalty. Overall would recommend and we will return!

We had a brilliant stay at School Steps, the house is decorated throughout to a high standard and a lot of love and care has gone into it. Dani was a fantastic host, who responded to any queries we had in less that five minutes. The view from the terrace and even inside the house is breathtaking and good for the soul. My son particularly enjoyed playing with the games and the Xbox, he was in holiday heaven with Minecraft. The kitchen is fully equipped, all modern brand new appliances and we found that we didn’t want to go out in the evening and instead enjoyed the views from the comfort of our kitchen table. There are a lot of steps to get to the property but this is not a problem if you are mobile. We used the steps as part of our morning workout routine. Dartmouth is a great little spot, we went crabbing (they like bacon!) and we saw the local seals too! We will be back, thank you Dani. Xx

Fabulous property with amazing views. You need to be reasonable fit as there are a lot of very steep steps to the house, saying that I would definitely return, loved it.
