A sub-tropical garden with rare and tender plants such as bananas, echiums, hedychiums and many palm trees, thriving in the mild climate with spectacular views over the Salcombe Estuary. In the Edwardian house are curios such as a polyphon - a 19th century musical jukebox from which you can request a tune, an electrical 're-juvenating' machine and displays on the maritime history and wildlife in the area. There is also a secret room for children, with dolls, tin soldiers, other toys and a ghost hunt.
