Sometimes, when travelling, one comes across a site that is a gem.
We have a membership of the National Trust in Australia which gives us reciprocal access to National Trust sites in the UK. Having visited Greenway on our last trip to England and with a few hours to spare we looked around for other National Trust Properties in that vicinity. We found Coleton Fishacre, a 20th Century country house by the sea: it was just fabulous.
Armed with our cameras we took some #Upclose photos inside and outside of the property. We learnt how the privileged lived in the 1930s.

| We started with soup in the cafe |
 |
| This chap was sad that he wasn't allowed in the house |
 |
| Most rooms had a garden view |
 |
| The furniture was typical of the era |
 |
| The bathrooms were copies of those in Claridge's hotel |
 |
| When smoking was cool |
 |
| Not Upclose but what a room |
 |
| Martini Madam? |
 |
| Tropical and desert plants thrived |
