Once owned by the Hamilton family, and reputedly associated with Lady Hamilton, Collaven is approached down a short drive, away from the hum of traffic noise.
Passing down the drive enjoy glorious views of magnificent countryside with the vista of Cornwall before you and the rugged tors of Dartmoor towering behind.
Surrounded by sweeping lawns and flower beds, a sense of anticipation develops.
