Who we are
As part of the AR group, we proudly own Gara Rock, a four-star boutique Hotel and Spa perched on a seaside clifftop. Gara Rock is among the most luxurious hotels in East Portlemouth near Salcombe. Surrounded by picturesque countryside and the glimmering South Devon coast, guests have everything they need for a luxury hotel break, be it with loved ones, family, or good friends.
The hotel is made up of penthouse apartments, garden hideaways, coastal cottages, and family suites and offers a wide range of bespoke experiences including a full spa, an indoor and outdoor pool, and a cinema room. Gara has an award-winning 2 Rosette restaurant that champions local, seasonal dishes. As one of the top 50 UK hotels and Gold Tourism Award Winner, Gara leads the way for boutique getaways.
