Greenway  'the loveliest place in the world' so easy to get to by ferry from the village.

This relaxed and atmospheric house is set in the 1950s, when Agatha and her family would spend summers and Christmases here with friends, relaxing by the river, playing croquet and clock golf, and reading her latest mystery to their guests. find out more; https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/devon/greenway

Coleton Fishacre A 1920s country retreat complete with tropical garden by the sea

At the country home of the D'Oyly Carte family you can travel back in time to the Jazz Age. This most evocative of country homes was built in the Arts & Crafts style, and is imbued with Art Deco elegance. A light, joyful atmosphere fills the rooms, and music plays, echoing the family's Gilbert and Sullivan connections. You can get an insight into 1920s life 'upstairs and downstairs' from the glamorous Saloon and the airy servants' rooms. find out more; https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/devon/coleton-fishacre
