A Happy Christmas by the sea

WEDNESDAY 23rd to FRIDAY 26th DECEMBER

You are invited to our Christmas House Party by the sea.

We’ve created the perfect festive retreat – imagine crisp December days filled with invigorating walks along our pristine beach followed by cosy evenings of games and conversation beside our roaring log fire.  As twilight falls, craft cocktails await, and intimate dinners in our acclaimed restaurant, Harry’s.

Chef Matthew’s exceptional festive menus celebrate the season, each course thoughtfully paired with fine and rare wines, concluding with moreish digestifs to make every evening truly memorable.

*****

Upon arrival on the 23rd, we’ll welcome you to The Gallivant with freshly baked mince pies, brandy butter and tea in the Sitting Room, before you enjoy an à la carte dinner in Harry’s.

Christmas Eve brings a leisurely Gallivant breakfast, time for long beach walks, and relaxation in our snug. We’ll serve Christmas cake and tea in the afternoon, followed by our special Christmas Eve menu at Harry’s.

For Christmas Day, we’re serving a champagne breakfast to start your celebrations, followed by more champagne and canapés before our three-course Christmas lunch. The afternoon offers Christmas cake, tea, and board games in the Sitting Room. Later, we’ll provide a Christmas supper tray for you to enjoy wherever you wish.

On Boxing Day, join us for a morning yoga class before your final Gallivant breakfast.

We’ve attended to every detail to ensure your Christmas with us will be both relaxing and memorable.

We are so grateful to everyone at the Gallivant for lifting our spirits after a very difficult few weeks. We had to move the booking for personal reasons and really appreciated Agnes and team’s understanding, kindness and flexibility with this. We had the most brilliant stay – from Lindsay’s very warm welcome, to the excellent yoga instructors, the best treatment I’ve ever had from Eva and the fantastic wine tasting with Jon (and Paul’s expertise too – we are sad he’s going but know the English wine is in good hands with Jon!). The Gallivant has been a very special place to us for a while now and this visit proved again why that’s the case. I can’t wait to come back next month with my mum to celebrate our birthdays (and looking forward to many more visits in future too). Thank you all so much x
