Fabulous location with stunning views , this Hotel was generally tired and despite being on the south coast of Devon had only one Fish course on its specials menu which was. very disappointing. Service was friendly and courteous but always slow. Although we did not any there is no air conditioning and during our stay the hotels only lift was out of order. A hotel in urgent need of investment ! ##### G Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Jul 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We had an amazing room, The Penthouse, with beautiful views of the coast. Had a very warm welcome. We did repeatedly say the trip was to celebrate our Ruby wedding Anniversary but this was not acknowledged! The interior decor and setting is beautiful. We had dinner and room service, food was nice but menu was the similar and a bit limited but other days we found so many nice places to eat. The breakfast was nice, especially eating on the terrace but was let down by having to make your own hot drinks at the buffet with poor quality tea bags. There were so many dogs even in the restaurant and unfortunately dog poo in the grounds although obviously this was the owners fault it was rather off putting. We had some lovely walks along the coastal path and down to the beach, very steep on the return! ##### Karen Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanna May 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful, the views really make this hotel magical. Its tucked away so you need a car if you're going out for dinner, the ferry is about a 30 minute walk and up/down steep steps, and stops at 6:30pm. Drinks were outrageously priced.. £16.50 for a beer, a soft drink and two packets of crisps!! All is forgiven when you take in the sea though. The interiors are also beautiful. Breakfast overlooking the little cove was just the most incredible way to start the day, and it was delicious! One irritation for me is not having anywhere to put shower gel etc. in the shower - but now I am being picky!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/91bd9d59-86b3-4ec3-b71b-bc73b9be2901-1746452518144.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1c293d19-34c4-4485-9bf2-5ace0687d0bd-1746452520120.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/db4c2724-41a3-4920-9d89-375ec35e5d91-1746452521163.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Joanna Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MRS J F WHITEHEAD Jul 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Utterly faultless It’s rare to find a hotel that is better than it looks and states on its website. The staff were wonderful. The food and drink was amazing. Its remote location made it such a peaceful stay. Will definitely return. ##### MRS J F WHITEHEAD Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### andrew Jul 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great views, service & quality fixtures & fittings.

But little extra thought needed. Hotel location was amazing with views that are superb! but we wouldn’t be going back as the lanes getting to it are awful and quite stressful! Staff were amazing and so polite but not enough so they were overwhelmed at breakfast and service very slow! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C9C4BA490C3D9118D5B537347D617020363CF86D1724231313254.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Helen Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Timothy Sep 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The main Restaurant let’s it down The main restaurant. Where do I start ! The dress code T shirts! There is a bar dining for that. Let’s keep the fine dining to a minimum level of a collared shirt . 1 hour and 23 minutes to get the main course!! Potato’s burnt but cleverly served upside down !!!! And cold plates . Such a shame the hotel was great. Pool great . Staff Great . Tim ##### Timothy Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rachel Oct 3, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Underwhelming! This property has the foundations to be extraordinary (especially given its location), yet the customer service is severely lacking. Rude staff on check-in. Room not ready at the specified time (3pm). No apology given. No offer to help with bags to our room. Room dirty with a stained bath, sofa, curtains, bathroom floor. And the spa, a small pool with 5 loungers is not sufficient given the hotel capacity. The food is severely overpriced and is satisfactory at best. Burnt food and poor service. For the price point the hotel is NOT worth the money. Do yourself a favour and spend your money elsewhere. There is much better out there at a fraction of the price. ##### Rachel Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Nov 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Let down like the boiler! We stayed at Gara Rock for four nights and were disappointed by several issues. While the hotel has potential, the negatives stood out. There were two boiler outages—one on the first morning and another on the final evening. During the first, we were asked to use the penthouse bathroom but not offered a room change. The second outage was resolved in an hour, delaying our dinner reservation. We were told the issues were due to cold weather and high occupancy, which felt unacceptable. The cinema room had outdated Apple TV with apps needing updates. No staff could assist, and after 40 minutes of trying, we gave up and watched an old DVD. The stereo sound was limited and quieter than the air conditioning. Our room was poorly maintained, with scrapes on the walls, no wardrobe lighting, and limited space. One side of the bedroom had no lights, and the living room unit was bare. The TV stayed bright all night, turning back on to a sign-in screen. Shower gel was used up on day 1 and never restocked. On the positive side, the restaurant and lounge areas were welcoming, with excellent food. The hotel’s dog-friendly atmosphere was a nice touch, and the TVs had streaming capabilities. Some staff were attentive, but others were less so. We were given a night’s credit for the boiler issues, but the experience didn’t meet expectations. We recommend the restaurant, but the hotel rooms need improvement to justify the price. ![window patch](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6244A1A32F98225E503FE001F62C424DA3FC8ADF1731787125343.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![one of the many scrapes on the wall](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BD03BBDCC005C3A4F1CA0ED7670AE47418CF6AE61731787126503.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### chris May 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities By far the best hotel I have staying for years.

I was a little bit disappointed that breakfast has now become a buffet for the "continental" part of it, even drinks are self serve. When we were there before it was all traditional table service and felt a bit nicer. It was still a great breakfast I would just prefer the old way! The outdoor pool was lovely and the spa was nice too. Views are incredible. Staff are veryfriendly and welcoming.Would definitely go back! ##### Amy Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lee Aug 19, 2025 #### Too expensive Very difficult to get too & too expensive!
