In a world alive with constant motion, Gara Rock offers a rare invitation: to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the beauty of the natural world. Tucked away at the end of winding rural lanes in South Devon, this secluded coastal retreat sits proudly on rugged cliffs where land meets sea. Here, the rhythm of the waves replaces the hum of city life, and rural tranquillity becomes your everyday luxury.

Sun-trap terrace
Step inside Gara Rock and discover a collection of enviable accommodations, each boasting uninterrupted sea views. From stylish rooms and suites to expansive residences, every space is designed with refined comfort and meticulous attention to detail. Wake to the horizon stretching endlessly beyond your balcony or garden, watch the sun melt into the ocean at dusk, and fall asleep to the soothing sound of waves below.
For something truly unforgettable, choose one of the ‘Out of the Ordinary’ stays: the Secret Suite, offering complete clifftop seclusion; the Signal House, with its private sun terrace overlooking the sea; or the spectacular Penthouse, where a statement bathtub sits before floor-to-ceiling windows framing the coastline, for the ultimate soak.
