About The Chauffeur's Flat

A getaway for two in the gardens of Coleton Fishacre on the South Devon coast.

This Art Deco apartment sits above the old ‘motor house’ in the luxuriant grounds of Coleton Fishacre. The one-bedroom flat is the perfect base for walkers and gardeners wanting to explore the nearby exotic gardens and subtropical coastline of south Devon. 

Rise early and you’ll have the gardens to yourself before the crowds start to arrive. You may even see a few gardeners on lawns, who help to maintain the historic landscape with the support from your stay. 

From the estate you can hop onto the South West Coast Path and hike to the Mediterranean-esque seaside towns of Brixham, Paignton and Torquay. Or walk along the Dart Estuary to Agatha Christie's beloved holiday home, Greenway.

About the Acorn rating

Back to top

We have applied a 1-5 acorn rating to each cottage to be used only as a guide that covers location, style of interior and facilities you may be looking for. The range runs from 1 Acorn at a more basic level such as Bird How which due to its stunning yet remote location doesn’t have a caretaker through to 5 Acorns at the highest level – such as Shute Barton.

Cottage pricing is not judged on the Acorn rating alone and as all our cottages are of an individual nature we recommend that all factors are considered when making your choice.
