Thank you, glad you enjoyed your visit to Coleton Fishacre. Glad that you enjoyed the gardens, they really are at their best at the moment, so much colour and beautiful views to be explored. If you loved the style of the Coleton Fishacre house, we have a cocktail evening coming up soon which will hopefully really bring the 1930's art...

We have been to Devon many times but never heard of this place. I am a NT member so looked up places to visit. It was well worth it. The house was really interesting and you are able to get up close and personal. There is even a 'handling room' where you can pick things up and even try hats...

Thank you, we're so glad that you were able to discover Coleton Fishacre. It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed the handling room as it's completely new this season as part of our 'opening closed doors' project. There's some great hats in there for trying on in there as you said! Please do come and visit us again soon.

The gardens are glorious and lovely to wander through, and the house is a gem - a real Art Deco time capsule.

A really big garden, on a steep hill running down to the sea. Really beautiful. The House was interesting, but not extraordinairy.
