Coleton Fishacre boasts a luxuriant garden by the sea, with an Arts & Crafts-style house, featuring Art Deco-influenced interiors. It is located 3 miles from Darthaven. Visitors are transported back to the Jazz Age at the holiday home of the D’Oyly Carte family. In the 30 acre garden, it is easy to imagine the parties of the past amongst the weaving pathways and sheltered glades. This warm, secluded spot is perfect for tender plants from the Mediterranean, South Africa and New Zealand. The elegant house is a place of 1920s’ elegance. Music playing in the rooms echoes the family’s Gilbert and Sullivan connections and visitors can play the Blüthner piano in the Saloon. Children will love the family activity packs and there are often musical events in the grounds. Opening times - Open daily from 10.30-17.00. Weekends only in winter. Access - Car park on site.
