The best luxury hotels in Devon
Isolated on a windswept headland in south Devon, the remote Gara Rock is worth the trip along the winding roads past local estuaries for its restaurant alone. Here, vast circular windows showcase the sea and even better views await out on the terrace. Seafood is the star, unsurprisingly, but giant sharing steaks get a look in, too. Happily for anyone solely here for the fish and chips, those are excellent as well.
Hikers on the South West Coast Path are treated to sustenance from the hotel’s refreshment truck – but the ultimate refuge comes at the spa, where treatments use organic products made nearby in Totnes, and at the cosy cinema, with velvet seats and cocktail-accommodating tables.
Design details in the rooms include wooden walls, freestanding bath tubs, four-poster beds and sloping ceilings. Some have windows framing the sea; and the Signal House has two bedrooms, making it perfect for a group getaway.
