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.

Brilliant location, tremendous service, gorgeous food. Room 20 is probably the best. Dog friendly place, with the beach 50 metres away.

The theme of The Gallivant runs throughout the whole hotel, starting with the decor, to the staff, to the booking in/out process: Simple, elegant, practical and relaxed.
The whole hotel is very relaxing, fresh and colourful. The staff are engaging, efficient and informative.
Access to the beach is only 100 metres away, so we went for a walk before Dinner to watch the sunset and again before breakfast, to get woken up !

We had a fantastic time at the Gallivant. It was every bit as good as we'd hoped. The decor was sublime. It managed the beach feel without resorting to cliche'd styling. I've gone home with a few ideas to freshen up our home.

We were most impress with the customer service throughout our stay and particarly Lindsay at front of house. Service was attentive without being overly familiar.

When an establishment is this good it can feel a little over-exclusive and "sniffy" but we felt welcome and at ease throughout our stay. A real home from home.

I was particularly pleased at the quality of the yoga class. These add-ons can often be mediocre at best but this was a high quality class with an excellent yogi. I only wish I were closer and could come regularly.

I don't often write long reviews but you all deserve to hear how happy we were with our visit.

Thank you and well done. A wonderful team makes for a wonderful experience.

We had an amazing stay, the level of service was so high, all your staff are wonderful and so helpful. We had dinner at the restaurant and the food was incredible. We also enjoyed the cosy bar area for tea and cake, our only criticism was not enough of the white chocolate blondies, they were delicious. Cannot fault anything in the room it was gorgeous and lovely and clean. We also loved that there was a selection of boots, towels and coats for guests to wear to the beach, my only comment would be to make guests more aware of this before they come so they don’t overpack like me. We hope to be back soon. Thank you
