An emblem of luxury and charm, the Gara Rock Hotel and Spa has officially been put up for sale, inviting new owners to take over this stunning retreat nestled in one of the UK’s most picturesque locations.
Situated in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this acclaimed hotel and spa enjoys a unique clifftop position just a short walk from the tranquil Gara Rock beach. Conveniently connected to Salcombe by the Salcombe Ferry and close to the South West Coastal Path, it offers guests easy access to some of the region’s most beautiful landscapes.
The Gara Rock has a rich history dating back to 1909 when Richard Jordan transformed the original coastguard cottage into a family boarding house. By the 1930s, it had blossomed into a prestigious hotel welcoming illustrious guests such as Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir John Betjeman. The property later saw significant renovations and expansion under the Royal Air Force in the 1950s. More recently, since 2017, the hotel has undergone extensive refurbishment, elevating its suites, apartments, and public areas to luxury standards.
