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.

What’s on the menu?: Specialising in organic produce from Devon, this is a licensed café offering light meals and snacks throughout the day as well as fresh local seafood and homemade cakes.
