  Coleton Fishacre House is an Arts and Crafts style, but with Art Deco influenced interiors. The house was designed in 1925 as a holiday home for Rupert and Lady Dorothy D’Oyly Carte of Gilbert and Sullivan fame. Terraced gardens lead you down the valley to the sea, as you move away from the house the gardens change from formal layouts to wilder areas by the cliff above Pudcombe Cove. The cove still has the remains of the tidal sea-water bathing pool built on the beach by the D’Oyly Carte family.
