KingSituated in what must be the finest waterside location in south Devon, Meadowcliff House and Cottage is a stunning holiday retreat with idyllic panoramic views across the estuary and one and a half acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. A majestic home that's perfect for either a large family or a group of friends seeking the ultimate getaway. Comfortably accommodating 18 guests, there's a fabulous wraparound deck complete with two hot tubs, an outdoor kitchen, an adult-sized 6 metre adventure slide, children's play area and direct private access to the river beach and estuary!
From the moment you arrive at Meadowcliff you will be captivated by the blissful views at every turn. Each room has been stylishly furnished with quirky artwork and splashes of colour. Sumptuous interiors welcome you into the gorgeous main sitting-room with cosy sofas, an impressive 65" TV with full Sky package and a warming wood-burner making this the ideal year-round destination. From here glass doors lead into the fabulous games-room complete with pool table and table football, ideal for entertaining the children and adults alike! The extensive open plan kitchen/diner is simply stunning, light and bright where even the most discerning of chef will feel at home. The 18-seat dining-area has captivating views, perfect for a celebratory meal or just for watching the tide ebb and flow. A separate snug can also be found on this floor, the ideal place for a quiet read or catch up with the daily paper. Bedroom one can be found on the ground floor, a pretty double room with a 'zip and link' bed giving you the luxury to choose either a king-size double bed or twins.
Climb the stairs to the first floor where four luxurious bedrooms await, all beautifully styled in soft pastel shades and furnished with beautiful linens. Bedroom two is simply stunning, with a gorgeous feature bedstead, bunk-beds, en suite shower-room, oodles of space and dual aspect windows giving the most idyllic view. Bedrooms three and five are delightful double rooms with king-size beds whilst bedroom four is a twin-bedded room, ideal for either children or adults, this room also has an en suite shower-room. The sumptuous family bathroom on this floor has a free-standing bath, double sink and separate shower, perfect for either a long soak or refreshing shower after a busy day.
Down steps towards the water's edge the extended and refurbished (completed January 2025), burnt cedar clad and white brick cottage awaits, self-contained with its own large open plan living and dining area, complete with wood-burner, three gorgeous bedrooms, one en suite and a luxury main bathroom complete with copper bath. Every room can access the wraparound millboard deck via heritage-style Crittall doors which give the most wonderful views (please note the cottage is a dog-free area).
The grounds at Meadowcliff are simply magical with oodles of space the children and family dogs will love. The large main deck area has breathtaking views and comes complete with two hot tubs and barbecue, perfect for al fresco dining from dawn until dusk. The young ones will be easily entertained in the play and safety-matted picnic area, featuring swings, slides, a see-saw and a 14ft enclosed ground mounted trampoline. For the young at heart an adult-sized huge 6-metre long slide provides entertainment for all. Private access steps lead down to the river beach and estuary where water sports lovers can launch paddle boards, kayaks and ribs. Meadowcliff has all the ingredients for the perfect waterside holiday. Paddle board and kayak hire is available on request.
Guests at Meadowcliff experience the best of both worlds, perfect seclusion and privacy yet within easy reach of the charming village of Shaldon, named by the Telegraph as one of the UK's few remaining unspoilt coastal villages and just a gentle stroll away either along the river beach at low tide or country lane. In Shaldon you will find quaint thatched cottages, period houses and pretty winding streets with an eclectic assortment of shops, pubs and a deli. There is also a safe sandy swimming beach, ideal for family fun.
The seaside fishing town of Teignmouth is just over the bridge from Shaldon where you will find another two beaches and a lido offering a range of activities. Walkers in the party can choose from numerous bridleways, all close by with fabulous walks to the picturesque villages of Stokeinteignhead and Coombeinteignhead. Should you wish to explore further afield, the wilds of Dartmoor are just a half hour drive away, ideal for walking, running and cycling.
However you plan to spend your blissful holiday days you will make memories to last for ever at Meadowcliff.

Please note, no guests under the age of 18 are to reside in Meadowcliff Cottage without being accompanied by an adult. Meadowcliff Cottage is accessed via steps. Due to the fabulous waterside location the owner has reinforced and made as safe as possible any escape areas down to the water, however we still urge you to ensure small children are supervised at all times and when using the outdoor play equipment. Please also take care when out and about in the grounds due to a number of steps and slopes. Dogs are only permitted in the main house and are not allowed in Meadowcliff Cottage.
