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.

Fantastic few days in the capable hands of The Galivant team. New Years dinner was lovely and such a bonus to be able to bring my dog.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Gallivant. We were in need of a space to switch off and re-set and we couldn't have chosen a better place to do that. I wanted to be able to take a book and sit somewhere where I could relax and read in a lovely space. From the photos it was hard to tell if that would be possible but it turned out to be perfect. Lots of different spaces to choose from and really well designed. The added tweak to breakfast was a great idea, elevenses was fantastic after a walk along the beach and wine at 5 was brilliant. I thought it was really good that the wine came from a local vineyard that you could then go and visit, if you wanted to. Our room upgrade to a luxury garden room was amazing. Everyone who worked there was really helpful and friendly and we had the perfect time away. Thank you.
