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.

My wife and I stayed for the first time at The Gallivant for one night in March to celebrate her birthday.
We were warmly welcomed in reception by Lucy and she happily showed us the restaurant, bar and lounge areas. Then to our room, which was the luxury garden room. Immediately the cares of life slid away, and we settled into enjoying the lovely room, beautiful surroundings and relaxed, peaceful, spa like atmosphere.
English wine at five in the bar area was a lovely treat. Again, Lucy was knowledgable about the wine we were sampling, and the crisps and olives we were offered made it even more enjoyable.
Dinner service was equally pleasurable. The wine list at TG is impressive, making it a challenge not to get carried away! The menu consisted of a choice selection of good quality dishes and we very much enjoyed our meal. Service was attentive but unhurried.
In the morning, Anna greeted us in the restaurant with an infectious smile and joyfully made sure we were looked after. Again, the menu choice for breakfast was excellent.
After breakfast we checked out of our room. The weather wasn’t great so we decided not to walk along the beach. Instead, we relaxed in the lounge, which has had huge efforts put in to make it a lovely place to just be.
A very enjoyable stay. A great deal of thought and care has gone into creating this place, and we appreciated every moment.
We would highly recommend it to our friends, and look forward to visiting again in the future.

Our stay at The Gallivant this weekend couldn’t have been anymore ideal. Every little detail has been finely tuned and well thought out and it’s such a beautiful and serene space to relax in. We were especially grateful as we were very kindly given an upgrade and this made our stay even more special. The food was absolutely delicious and so fresh. Every member of staff we spoke to was amazing, in particular Naketa and Elton just blew us away by how friendly and accommodating they were. There’s not many hotels that genuinely make you want to come back but the Gallivant is one and we absolutely will be. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend.
