Meadowgate
Meadowgate is Kirstie Allsopp’s beautiful ‘Homemade Home’.
Found in total seclusion minutes from Welcombe Mouth, one of the most stunning beaches on the north coast, Meadowgate sits at the base of Welcombe’s deep valley. The social rooms are accessed from the elegant slate and tiled hallway. The comfortable sitting-room boasts an open fire and large sofas encourage you to sit and read that long-promised book. Children will love the second sitting-room, filled with Kirstie’s inspired home-made crafts.
Throughout the house the passion Kirstie put into restoring and furnishing Meadowgate is ever-present. Large gold letters spelling out ‘WOW’ in the kitchen/dining-room say it all; this is the heart of the house, the Aga perfect for conjuring up mouthwatering feasts and a warming backdrop to every mealtime. From Vanessa Arbuthnott fabrics, to Kirstie’s own gold and black wallpaper in the downstairs wash-room and the eclectic mix of furniture, Kirstie’s unique style is repeated throughout.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms, a twin room and a really special twin bunk-room for four children. The Vi-spring beds have luxurious cotton bedding and the main bedroom has a wonderful roll-top bath for you to indulge and soak up the peace and quiet of the surrounding countryside!

Customer reviews
Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Mrs North
We have just stayed at Meadow Gate with our family. There were 15 of us of all ages and we had a wonderful time. The house was extremely well equipped and was very comfortable and relaxing. We loved being able to walk straight out of the house to the sea. We would definitely return
Mrs Kenny
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Meadowgate. A beautiful and comfortable cottage. The walk from the door to the beach is only about 10 minutes and is perfect to watch the sunsets, or to venture further along the dramatic coastal paths. Thoroughly recommend
Ms Partridge
A wonderful spacious, well-equipped house, in a hidden corner of Devon, with easy access to the beach. My granddaughter named it the WOW house - and it really is!
Mrs Bennet
You’ll have a lovely time no matter your age, be it newborn or 80! We swam, cycled, fished in rock pools and enjoyed the peacefulness of Meadowgate. Even quieter at night than our own rural home!
Mrs Tester
We had a lovely holiday at Meadowgate. The house was wonderful and clean, with a beautiful bunch of flowers on the table on arrival. The space was perfect for 14 people, with plenty of space for playing or for taking yourself off for some quiet time. The house is perfectly located, requiring a short walk or even shorter car journey to the beach. Great location for exploring the rest of North Devon too.
Ms Smith
Beach rugged and rocky possibly not so good for younger children
Mrs Eyton - Jones
A fabulous house in a beautiful location.
Mrs Mackay
A great property for a family gathering! 14 of us had a fab holiday in this beautiful house. We loved the location just a short walk from Welcombe Mouth where we had a wonderful Wedding Celebration on what appeared to be our own private beach! The house is beautiful. Comfortable and Welcoming…..what more do you need for a lovely family holiday!
Mrs Major
Beautiful peaceful area, house was slightly disappointing, tired and in need of some TLC. Plenty of room and an excellent well equipped kitchen. Watching deer in the morning in the garden was a real treat.
Mrs Alway
A very comfortable holiday home which easily accommodates a large family with varying ages and varying tastes in leisure activities
Mr Goodchild
Our stay was a sad one as we were a family of nine staying there for a funeral. However the house was so beautiful, comfortable and welcoming that we ended up having a really lovely time of family bonding. The cottage had everything we could possibly need. It was decorated in such a way that it just didn't feel like a holiday cottage. It felt like you were in a family home. We all loved it so much, that we want to come back another time with the same family members for an even happier holiday than the last.
Mr Haddow
Our second visit - which we enjoyed every bit as our first. The house works well for all ages.
Mr Humphryes
This is a lovely place to take families to and the games room was a great advantage ..also two sitting rooms meant we could spread out as a family .
Mrs lucyszyn-hinton
We had the most perfect week at Meadowgate. Everything we could possibly have needed was provided. So much space for all our families, 3 with children ranging from 1-14! All children had fun on the rope swing and playing hide and seek. We have such wonderful memories we will cherish. Thank you!
Mrs Haddow
Lovely house which easily and comfortably accommodated our party of 11. Great location, as just a short walk from a beach which we all loved. Good pub in the village. What is not to like?
Mrs Reeves
We loved this cottage and location. Would not hesitate to recommend for a coastal retreat with family or friends.
Mr Young
The cottage is lovely but very remote and be prepared for very narrow lanes.
Mr Oldfield
We needed a place to 'escape' the day to day hassles of life. Meadowgate was jusr perfect for that. @jenny2years
Mr Newton
Meadowgate was a great venue for an extended family gathering and everyone had something positive to say about it. The kitchen was the central gathering point for us, large enough for everyone to be in, and very well equipped.
Dr Hall
This is an amazing location and a comfortable, beautiful and practical family house.
Mr Cooney
The house was very cosy and perfect for our family. We had a fabulous time.
Ms Fentiman
Stunning property. Beautiful gardens. Fantastic location. The most incredible beach a short walk away. Top quality everything throughout. Homely, thoughtful touches everywhere. Holiday life made so much easier thanks to all the little extras most rental properties forget. I wish it was my house...
Mrs Belle
It is wonderful place for a family holiday.
Mrs Baldwin-Martin
This is the best place for a family gathering so much space inside and out I cannot fault it at all. Already looking forward to visit no 3 !
Mrs Webb
A great choice for a family get together. We couldn't fault Meadowgate. It was everything we had hoped for in a holiday home.
Mr White
We had a fantastic stay here. It’s a lovely house in a lovely, quiet setting - exactly what i was after. Everything was as described and there were 12 of us, including 4 children under 5, but the house is plenty big enough. Wish we could have stayed longer but couldn’t afford 2 weeks ?? Maybe we will visit again one day!
Miss Johnson
We have now had 11 holidays at Meadowgate and it won't be our last. We love the remoteness of the property. We have a lovely relaxing week knitting and sewing and leave looking forward to our next visit.
Mrs Royal

Mrs Baldwin-Martin
The most wonderful way to celebrate my 50th birthday with my fabulous family in a perfect house lots of laughter, food and tons of memory making. I am positive it couldn’t have been any better.
Mrs Sciacaluga
A fabulous homely house - ideal for family groups with different ages and needs. We feel so at home at Meadowgate - our third visit.
Mrs Lundy
A lovely house that feels like home.
Miss Hollings
Exceeded expectation. What a fabulously comfortable and well equipped house. Perfect to a large family group. Every time we needed something it could be easily found. Wonderfully spacious kitchen. The house made our holiday in what was a rainy Devon week.
Miss Stuart-Mills
The perfect house and perfect location for a relaxed week with friends - we absolutely adored our stay!
Mr Evans
Beautifully furnished & room for 15 of us. The super cove is a very short walk. The local pub is also superb. We all had a great time with ages ranging from 2 to 65.
Miss Nutt
Meadowgate is a beautifully secluded house perfect for a big get together with family or friends. We loved the easy walk to the dramatic beach and the house really felt like home from home.
Mrs Newbold
An ideal cottage for an extended family holiday. A lot of thought, care, time and flare has been given to making this a perfect place for all ages.
Miss Johnson
Can't wait for our 10th visit in Oct 2017. It won't be our last either.
Mrs Long
A beautiful property and an equally beautiful location especially Welcombe Mouth.
Mrs Sciacaluga
The cottage feels lovely warm and homely. Our whole family, all 14 of us, felt at homer immediately, something we did not expect... A real home from home.
Mrs Fisher
A little bit of Devon paradise!
Mrs Feilden
A wonderful place to stay with four generations of family including large downstairs floor space for our child in a wheelchair .
Miss Johnson
Can't wait to return here for our 8th visit. A truly lovely holiday retreat
Mrs Waugh
Lovely, comfy squidgy beds, delicious, stress free cooking on the Aga, beautiful, quiet location. But think we may have frightened off the local wildlife by using the fantastic outside shower! If you love to buy local handmade crafts, Welcombe Pottery, just up the road is a good place to start. We will be back!
