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 had a last min stay with our bloodhound Maggie.
The staff were incredible, friendly and helpful and it is clear this is a location not just ticking the dog friendly box but actually embracing and catering for them. But please don’t think that means there is a single compromise on cleanliness or standards. Not one bit.

After long stunning walk along the sands we relaxed with a coffee and freshly baked cookies and we actually managed to read a paper.. a first for us in a long time! Tucked up in one of the well appointed side lounges.

We booked in for supper. My wife had the monkfish and I had the pork chop both were fantastic. Service was equally fantastic too.

Polished off with a little tipple or two. A truly enjoyable and lovely evening we had, Maggie tucked under the table and moderately well behaved.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Made even better by the staff.

Keep up the great work team we’ll be back, and so will “Maggie”!
