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.

This is the first time at The Gallivant but the third time at the location, having stayed at your predecessor. The changes are wonderful, it was my partner’s 60th and we wanted somewhere relaxed, not like a hotel and he wanted fish and chips on the beach. You weren’t able to arrange the latter – I’m not sure why – but everything else was excellent. All the staff are fantastic, couldn’t have been more welcoming while not fussing. It’s a special spot. We spent far too much on your fabulous wine choices, but you only turn 60 once, right!
Thank you to everyone. Ruth

We had the most incredible day at The Gallivant. As soon as we visited the venue we knew it was just the right setting for our relaxed beachside wedding and on the day it worked better than I could ever imagine. All our guests loved it too and I’m sure more than a few will return for a weekend away!

All the staff are wonderful! Friendly, welcoming, accommodating and always ready to go above and beyond. Special thanks to Becky, Hamish, Paul, Lindsay and Cory for making sure our day went like clockwork, you guys are brilliant!

Jamie and his team in the kitchen served up a spectacular wedding breakfast, with locally sourced seasonal produce that was cooked to perfection. We heard ‘that was the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding’ more than once! We loved the ‘family style’ serving of the courses and so did our guests, it worked so well. Thank you Jamie & team!

I can’t recommend The Gallivant highly enough and we look forward to returning for our one year anniversary!
