About The Chauffeur's Flat

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.
