Christmas at Gara Rock

Begin your holiday festivities with a leisurely start, and let Gara Rock take care of every detail on Christmas Day. Begin with a glass of bubbly and a selection of chef-crafted canapés before a choice of delicious starters, including celeriac soup with a hint of truffle or a classic Salcombe lobster cocktail.

A stay at Gara Rock is the best Christmas present

The main course is a feast to remember, featuring traditional roast Devon farm turkey with all the trimmings or a decadent butternut squash wellington for vegetarian guests. And, of course, no Christmas meal is complete without dessert – a rich Christmas pudding with Calvados custard or a white chocolate brûlée to sweeten the experience. Afterwards, take a stroll along the serene coastal paths or sink into a fireside armchair in the lounge, perhaps with a cocktail or a special dessert from the exclusive pudding bar.

New Year by the Sea

After a night of celebration, start the New Year with a rejuvenating treatment at the Wild Rock Spa, head down to the beach for a breath-taking wild water swim or take in the scenic beauty of the coastal paths with a brisk New Year’s Day walk, setting the tone for a year filled with fresh air, stunning views, and cherished memories.
