A luxuriant garden by the sea, with an Arts and Crafts-style house, featuring Art Deco-influenced interiors
Travel back in time to the Jazz Age at the holiday home of the D'Oyly Carte family.
You can lose yourself in the magical 12-hectare (30-acre) garden: viewpoints give enticing glimpses out to sea, paths weave through glades past tranquil ponds, and tender plants from the Mediterranean, South Africa and New Zealand thrive in the moist and sheltered valley.
This most evocative of holiday homes, built in the Arts & Crafts style, is imbued with 1920s' elegance. A light, joyful atmosphere fills the rooms and music plays, echoing the family's Gilbert and Sullivan connections. Note: narrow busy approach lane, reversing required - especially around busiest time of 1pm to 2.30pm.

The bluebells are a sight to behold, popping up all over the garden and en-masse in the woodland. Make the most of a dry day and take a wander through the woods with us.
