Coleton Fishacre

A blend of timeless glamour with glorious South Devon scenery, Coleton Fishacre a National Trust property, is a rare jewel of Art Deco architecture, nestled within luxuriant gardens that tumble down to the sea.

The house itself is a treat, light-filled rooms with original 1920s furnishings, a cocktail of modernist elegance and warm, lived-in charm and sweeping views from the drawing room that will make you want to linger.

Outside, the coastal gardens display exotic plants flourishing in the warm, sheltered microclimate, winding paths, and hidden corners with glimpses of the sea. 

Don’t Miss:

 • The Drawing Room view, framed like a painting

 • A stroll down to the gazebo for a quiet moment overlooking the sea

 • Spotting the tropical and sub-tropical plants rarely seen elsewhere in the UK

Local Secret: On clear days, bring binoculars, dolphins are sometimes seen off the coast, and the combination of gardens and ocean is breathtaking.

Top Tip: Arrive early to enjoy the house before exploring the dramatic coastal gardens and sea views.
