VISIT TO NATIONAL TRUST COLETON FISHACRE

You can contact the Event Organiser to go on the waiting list for cancellations, on a first-come, first-served basis

This remarkable house in South Devon is a stunning Arts and Crafts property built for the D’Oyly Carte family as their country home. It’s imbued with Art Deco elegance which transports you back to the sophistication of the Jazz Age. Giving an insight into life in the 1920s, the house boasts several outstanding entertaining rooms – where music plays echoing the family’s Gilbert & Sullivan connections – as well as well-furnished bedrooms and “below stairs” servants’ quarters.

The tropical gardens are RHS accredited and wandering down through the valley, you come across viewpoints giving enticing glimpses out to sea – though the climb back up is quite hard work!
