For the price, was a shame the steam room wasn’t working and room cleaning service was average, was woken up in the morning twice by a cleaner watching YouTube outside my door. Rather bizarre. Food was great and restaurant staff were superb.

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!

Awkward stay!

Booked on impulse for a one night stay. On checking in i booked a table for 7.30pm to allow time to go to the spa. When i got to the restaurant one of the staff asked if she could help, i explained i had a table booked for 7.30pm but wished to get a drink from the bar as i was 10 minutes early. She directed me through into the bar area. When i got there i asked the bar staff if there was a drinks menu, he directed me to a table near by. Another member of staff came over and asked if i needed help, i explained i wanted a drink and asked if i could order from the bar or did i have to order here. There then ensued a rather odd process whereby i was asked where i was sitting (nowhere at this point) and i was kind of escourted over to the sofas where i was then asked what i wanted to drink (minus drink menu). At this point i felt pretty awkward! They then had no record of my table booking and asked if i was waiting for someone (i was a solo traveller) They found me a table but my food order took a very long time to arrive, a couple of large dogs were barking in the restaurante (not directly the hotels fault, i appreciate that) and i was only checked on once. I had planned to stay and have a relaxing drink but i ended up just going to my room straight after as i couldnt face the uncomfortable drink ordering saga again. There was also no info in the rooms re breakfast time etc like you would normally expect. Overall a beautiful hotel let down by odd uncomfortable service!

We visited for a short two-night break (16th/17th July 2022). We had a very friendly greeting on arrival and our Ocean View room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was large, the floor could have been cleaner. More thought should have been given to the layout. Why, at these prices, have you got to climb into the bath to have a shower. The bathroom was large enough to accommodate a nice walk-in shower. There was nowhere convenient to hang a towel, not even the hand towel. Very poor. Our meal on Saturday night was excellent – we had the ‘special’ fish for starter and mains and it was pleasantly served in a reasonable time by the staff. Sunday night was a completely different matter. We waited far too long to be asked for our order and the starter, when it eventually came (one hour after our reserved time), was simply not value for money. One expensive scallop chopped up and overwhelmed by the tabasco dressing. We also waited too long for our main course of lamb rump and when it came it was cold, tough and chewy. It was allegedly served with ratatouille but which resembled a teaspoon of tomato paste. This meal at these prices was simply not good enough. We expressed our disappointment, but apart from an apology, no recompense was offered. In conclusion we felt that Gara Rock was a good, but difficult to access, location but at the high prices charged it is underwhelming and we will be in no hurry to return.

Beautiful place, beautiful room and amazing food. 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!

Ein magischer Ort zum Entspannen

Gara Rock ist ein echter Kraftort – direkt an der Küste gelegen, absolut ruhig und abgeschieden mit einem atemberaubenden Blick. Die Lage ist spektakulär, perfekt zum Abschalten und Auftanken. Das gesamte Team war äußerst freundlich und hochmotiviert – der Service ließ keine Wünsche offen. Besonders begeistert hat mich die entspannte Massage – einfach himmlisch. Das Zimmer war wunderschön, sehr sauber und mit seinen hohen Decken wunderbar großzügig. Ein Ort, an den man definitiv zurückkehren möchte.

Fabulous location but very tired.

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 !

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!!

Great hotel. Top tip - follow the hotel’s instructions on driving to the hotel. We followed our satnav / GPS and ended up in “the lanes” which are scary narrow roads. The walks from the hotel are stunning along the coastline. Dinner a bit pricey.

Disappointing

We were quite disappointed with our stay. For the money we were hoping for better service and better food. Food was very disappointing throughout, often having to send back cold food and disjointed service even though it wasn’t busy. For the Sunday roast they couldn’t accommodate someone with Crohn’s which was quite poor. Overall customer service was quiet bad and we were celebrating but it was disappointing on many levels. Breakfast service was diabolical. After we paid then were asked for some feedback on our stay. We won’t be returning.
