Coleton Fishacre

Famed for its connection with the D'Oyly Carte family, this charming country house is built on a site, which originally formed part of a 2000 acre estate, farmed from as early as the thirteenth century. The estate is now prized for the very individual house, beautiful gardens and magnificent coastline. Perhaps its most striking feature is its position on one of the most idyllic stretches of the South Devon coast.
