A getaway like nowhere else
Indulge in a special stay at this boutique hotel where the wow-factor views are the norm. Delight your taste buds with a meal in our acclaimed restaurant and pamper yourself with a soothing treatment in our spa.
It's all in the detail at Gara Rock. Lusciously styled rooms command sweeping views of the Devonshire coastline so you can watch the drama of a storm unfold from the crisp sheets of your kingsize bed. Sip a glass of fine wine as you lie back in a roll top bath and contemplate the next treat on your to do list. Coming with family? Our collection of individually styled, self-catering apartments have been designed for families and groups of friends.
Foodies, try not to be thrown by the tantalising list of local and sustainably-sourced dishes at the restaurant - how to choose between Porthilly oysters and Devon charcuterie? (Tip: just order both). Wellness is infused into every aspect of your stay: you’ll find yoga by the poolside, a long list of spa treatments and, out of your window, an endless horizon to dream into. The eclectic delights of Salcombe are on your doorstep, with a buzzing schedule of local food and music festivals to tap into. Bring along your family and friends - we have spaces sleeping up to ten people (some dog-friendly), including our one-of-a-kind secret suite, signal room and penthouse.

The beach
Discover a secret cove
Grab a pair of sturdy shoes or sandals and brace the elements as you head down the hill from Gara Rock to the hidden cove below. Walking along the Southwest Coast Path, you will happen upon a winding path down to the beach on your right.
When you've traversed the rocks at the bottom of the beach path, you'll arrive on the sands of Gara Rock beach. You're so far from the tourist traps of East Devon that you may find yourself alone to soak up these glorious surroundings in complete tranquility. Chase the lapping waves along the shoreline.
At low tide, a second cove becomes accessible from the first; a long stretch of sand that's perfect for sunbathing and exercising the dog (or the kids!).
The Garavan
You'll find our Garavan just a few steps from the South West Coast Path. So, if you're enjoying the outdoors, pop along and get yourself a pasty, sandwich, cold drink, coffee, tea, ice cream or confectionery.
There's picnic tables for you to sit down and tuck into your tasty snack.
Open from 11am to 3pm (seasonal).
