We were thrilled to be welcomed on... More

I stayed here for a wedding over the weekend and had a lovely time.

The American diner is fantastic! Not tacky... More

We are regular visitors to The Rocks and have just been down for the May bank holiday. Although the weather didn't live up to expectations the hotel definately did. Martin and Wendy are lovely hosts and really try to think of everything. There are loads of nice little touches such as free wetsuits ( for when the weather gets better),... More

Conveniently positioned for all Woolie has to offer, lovely welcome from Martin and Wendy and a pleasant, relaxing environment and the Diner is a work of genius! Just like the 2CV, The Rocks is a place you'll remember for the smile it will put on your face! You'll remember this one with affection :) More
