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.

The whole team at The Gallivant exceeded our expectations. Customer care is something that every team member (front of house, hospitality & cleaning teams) excelled in. Everyone was so friendly & always ready to help. There were some slight problems with our bill at the end of our stays but it was handled with ease & patience. Would highly recommend your beautiful & peaceful place to our friends & families. Thank you for having us!

We had an amazing stay – thank you all so much.

All the staff were lovely, but particularly thanks to Anna and her husband Elton who went ‘beyond’ with their care friendly welcome and helpfulness – they are a credit to you. Sorry that I didn’t catch her name – but the lady who appeared to be ‘in charge’ both evenings, was also lovely, very welcoming and knowledgeable.

Our room was beautiful, my only observation would be that the ‘mugs’ in the room without handles get too hot to touch if you have a hot drink! Immediately resolved by the team who gave me a proper mug to use – thank you.

The food (we had the “full galavant”) was outstanding. Particular highlights were the beetroot hummus and the breakfast bap.

I’m not a big fan of English wine, but it was lovely to try them – thank you.

Elevenses was modest, but what was served was lovely and refreshing.

We were here, after a very difficult year thus far, for total relaxation- and that’s what we got. We spent a lot of time in the garden, just sitting reading etc enjoying the beautiful garden shade and the sea breeze.

The staff were (without fault) friendly welcoming and a particularly nice touch that they remembered our names.

Thank you all so much
David & Gill Tate
