Meadow Rise

Sleeps 14 | 7 bedrooms | 7 bathrooms | Estuary views | EV charging | 1 dog

Overview of Meadow Rise

Meadow Rise is part of Tumbly Hill, a collection of contemporary townhouses positioned close to the head of the Kingsbridge Estuary. The house has been arranged over three floors, with large areas of glazing used to bring both natural light and the changing estuary views into the accommodation.

The principal social space combines a modern kitchen, dining area and direct access onto the terrace. Floor-to-ceiling windows give this level an open, bright feel, while the glass-balustraded terrace allows the estuary outlook to remain uninterrupted when guests move outside.

For a group of 14, the proximity of the town is a significant advantage. Kingsbridge's independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, pubs and restaurants can all be reached in a couple of minutes on foot, so the property does not rely on everyone getting into cars whenever they want to go out.

The seven-bedroom layout is also notable for its bathroom provision. With seven bathrooms across the property, larger groups have considerably more privacy than in many holiday homes of a similar capacity.

Despite the town-centre convenience, the setting still feels strongly connected to the water. The upper reaches of the estuary change with the tide throughout the day, while kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing and estuary walks are all available nearby.

Who is Meadow Rise Best For?

Meadow Rise is particularly useful for large groups who want a central base rather than a remote country property.

Seven bathrooms make it well suited to several couples or family units sharing one house, reducing the compromises that often come with larger group accommodation.

The level walk into Kingsbridge also broadens its appeal for mixed-generation groups. Guests can head independently to cafés, shops or the waterfront rather than needing to coordinate every outing around cars.

Its position at the head of the estuary makes it equally useful for groups who want to combine town life with watersports, beaches and the wider South Hams coast.

Why is Meadow Rise a Great Large Holiday Home?

  • Seven bedrooms for groups of up to 14
  • Seven bathrooms for excellent group privacy
  • Contemporary open-plan social space
  • Large terrace overlooking the estuary
  • Floor-to-ceiling glazing and changing water views
  • Level access into central Kingsbridge
  • EV charging available on site
  • Strong base for exploring both Salcombe and the wider South Hams

Bedrooms & Bathrooms at Meadow Rise

Meadow Rise has seven bedrooms distributed across its three floors, providing permanent sleeping space for all 14 guests.

The sleeping accommodation has been designed in the same clean, contemporary style as the rest of the house, with modern bathrooms featuring rainfall-style showers and high-quality fittings.

Group Accommodation Layout

Accommodation Sleeping Capacity Bathroom Provision
Bedroom 1 2 guests Private bathroom or shower room
Bedroom 2 2 guests Private bathroom or shower room
Bedroom 3 2 guests Private bathroom or shower room
Bedroom 4 2 guests Private bathroom or shower room
Bedroom 5 2 guests Private bathroom or shower room
Bedroom 6 2 guests Private bathroom or shower room
Bedroom 7 2 guests Private bathroom or shower room

How does the layout work for a group of 14?

Each bedroom accommodates two guests, allowing the full capacity of 14 to stay in permanent beds rather than relying on sofa beds or temporary sleeping arrangements.

The seven-room arrangement is particularly useful for groups made up of several couples, adult family members or friends who want greater privacy than a bunk-heavy family layout would provide.

The number of bathrooms also means bedroom allocation can be based more on individual preference rather than on who needs to be closest to shared facilities.

Bathroom Layout

Meadow Rise has seven modern bath or shower rooms across the property.

Rainfall-style showers feature within the contemporary bathroom design, and the high bathroom-to-bedroom ratio is one of the property's strongest practical advantages.

For a group of 14, this means morning routines and preparations for evenings out are far easier to manage than in properties where several bedrooms share only two or three bathrooms.

    Facilities & Information at Meadow Rise

    The principal living space is designed around modern group use, with the kitchen, dining area and terrace connecting naturally rather than being divided into separate formal rooms.

    The kitchen has integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, providing extra preparation and informal seating space. The dining area sits alongside it, allowing whoever is cooking to remain part of the main group.

    Large glazed doors lead onto the terrace, extending the usable social space in warmer weather and making the estuary a constant part of the setting.

    Laundry facilities include a washing machine and tumble dryer, while parking and EV charging add practical value for groups arriving in several vehicles.

Location & Things to Do Near Meadow Rise

Kingsbridge sits at the head of the Kingsbridge-Salcombe Estuary within the South Devon National Landscape, combining the facilities of a traditional market town with easy access to some of the region's best-known beaches and coastal villages.

From Meadow Rise, guests can walk into the town in only a couple of minutes. Kingsbridge has a strong independent character, with boutiques, galleries, cafés, pubs and restaurants alongside supermarkets and everyday shops. The quay is another focal point, particularly when the tide reaches the upper estuary.

The water creates plenty of opportunities for active days. Kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing are all popular around the estuary, while the network of creeks includes Frogmore, South Pool, Batson and Bowcombe. Wildlife is another part of the experience, with the estuary supporting a wide range of birds and occasional sightings of seals and dolphins.

For walking, local routes head from Kingsbridge towards Bowcombe Creek and through the surrounding countryside. The South West Coast Path is reached easily by travelling towards Salcombe, Hope Cove, Thurlestone or Start Bay, opening up very different stretches of coastline.

Beaches are plentiful. South Milton Sands combines sand, rock pools and watersports, Bantham is one of the area's best-known surfing beaches and Hope Cove offers two sheltered beaches beside a traditional fishing village. Slapton Sands and Torcross provide a more dramatic shingle coastline to the east.

Salcombe is within easy reach for sailing, boat trips and waterfront dining, while Start Point offers one of South Devon's most impressive headland walks, with views across Start Bay and the historic lighthouse below.

The combination of town facilities, estuary activities and several different sections of coast makes Kingsbridge a particularly versatile base for larger groups who may not all want to spend each day doing the same thing.
