Buckland Tout-Saints is a luxury William and Mary country house hotel set in its own valley, surrounded by four-and-a-half acres of beautifully tended gardens and woodland.
All welcome at Gara Rock
Easy-going and down to earth, Gara Rock is a place for families, couples, good friends and great memories. Dogs are very welcome. Come for lunch, the day, a well-earned break. Stay for the sunset, the week or for as long as you please.
When the sun shines, the beach is right there. Just below the pool.
When it rains, and it does occasionally, there are games to play and films to watch. Maybe a little treat in the spa. We don’t do formalities, dress codes or awk- ward silences at Gara Rock.
In fact, there’s really only one rule: make your- self at home.
Only a short drive from the coast and the inter- national sailing centre of Salcombe, Buckland Tout- Saints is the jewel in the crown of this breath-taking corner of Devon. With beautiful private din- ing rooms, luxurious bed-

Hidden in the beautiful Avon Valley…
Let us introduce you to Avon Mill, a place well known to our local res- idents, which nestles on the riverside, in the glorious Avon Valley. With a well-loved garden centre, café, boutique, lifestyle and Devon-made art and crafts shops, there’s plenty to experience. If you fancy a walk while here, the one along the Old Prim- rose Line, the railway that ran from South Brent to Kingsbridge, is a firm favourite. The path takes you along the banks of the River Avon, which is as magical on a frosty autumn morning as it is on a hot summer’s day. Bring your friend
legged
four- along
too. Avon Mill wel- comes dogs, including in the main body of the café, and provides water bowls and treats by the till.
Once you’ve walked and shopped, why not
take a break and relax in the café? Once a Vic- torian corn mill, Avon Mill is now a lovely café – a hub of good company, wonder- ful coffee, homemade cakes, breakfasts, lunches and super, award-winning Devon Cream Teas. Choose
from the
traditional Devon Cream Tea or spice up your life with a Chilli Cream Tea, with the best cheese scones, cream cheese and chilli jam (the chilli jam is made just up the road in Loddiswell!).
The café is cosy in the winter and has lots of outdoor space for alfresco dining when the sun shines. If
you’re
