Gara Rock, Devon: hotel and restaurant review

Devon’s hippest new hotel, perched on the bluff of a cliff near Salcombe, has 12 rustic-chic bedrooms, a relaxed restaurant with sun terrace, indoor and outdoor heated pools, and a clutch of stylish self-catering family-friendly cottages – all of which are cleverly positioned to make the most of magnificent coastal views.

Review: Gara Rock

One of the delights of Devon for outdoorsy types is the South West Coastal Path. Nothing quite beats the taste of a refreshing pint and a hearty plate of grub after negotiating a few miles of rugged terrain. This means that Gara Rock should be a coastal walker’s dream. Based in East Portlemouth, near Salcombe, it has recently reopened after a major refurb and offers a boutique hotel, spa and restaurant. The location is stunning, with the hotel literally hugging the coastline and offering breathtaking views of the South Devon coast.
