Lovely time at Gara Rock
Dear Simone, We loved our time at Gara Rock, and are really grateful for all your help in the planning of the big day and making sure that everything went smoothly during our stay. We really appreciated everything you did, from moving the flowers up to the restaurant to removing a sword from Sebastian during the ceremony! We look forward to returning to Gara Rock one day to celebrate an anniversary. All the best, Alix and Richard Greenwood-Bell

Memorable and fantastic experience
Aside from how beautiful our big day was, the prevailing comment from all our guests was how amazing and attentive the staff were - nothing was too much trouble. The 'exclusive use' of the hotel makes you feel like you're tucked away in your own private beach house with all your close friends and family - a truly memorable and fantastic experience. Our big day ran seamlessly, even better than we had imagined with delicious food and drink and an amazing party to finish off the day.

Nothing short of spectacular
Our wedding weekend at Gara Rock was nothing short of spectacular. The venue, for one, is stunning. If you’re looking for somewhere special with an amazing team behind it - this is it. We were blessed with incredible sunrises and sunsets, as well as calm frosty seas for refreshing swims. All of our guests (and ourselves) were blown away by the high level of detail in each and every room. You really can’t beat accommodation like this (especially with the spa facilities too)
