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 an amazing two days at the Gallivant. We ran a two day offsite for our Emmi clients and I have to say, we were blown away by EVERYTHING.
The staff – Becky, Anna, Monty and Steven could not have been more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to help us and make sure we had everything we needed. What was really lovely is that their personalities really shone through and in the days that we were there we felt we really got to know them as people. If happiness is a place, then it's a place with them in it.

The hotel itself is amazing. Great decor, the meeting room was brilliant and the rooms were perfect. The bed sheets so soft and that's the best night's sleep that I've ever had in a hotel!

We had delicious lunches (fishfingers sandwiches, lamb wraps and amazing slaws and lentil salads) which were standout. Dinner was delicious too and breakfast.

And thank you for the water bottles and the water filling station. A lovely touch!

We had a brilliant stay and next time we are asked to facilitate an offsite meeting for a client we will definitely recommend. Plus we will recommend to any friends too!

Thank you for a great couple of days.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay here. The hotel itself is extremely comfortable and well-thought through, from all the little touches (like a bed time herbal sleepy tea and hot flask draped in a bag from a hook by your door in the evening and five o"clock wine time) to the important ones like the bed, linen, cleanliness and decor.
There are vintage bathing suits in frames all around the hotel walls and all kinds of unusual paraphernalia, books and games to use dotted about.
The food is outstanding and the menu itself very interesting, using locally sourced ingredients. All the staff are knowledgeable and want to help with local information or anything else you might want.
I would like to mention some excellent personnel. Corey gave us a great welcome and showed us around initially. Lucy served our food and always gave great advice. Anna was our lovely breakfast waitress – and she is a joy. I was lucky enough to have a superb massage with Aimee, who made me feel very relaxed. I also had expert yoga instruction from India, Juliet and Sally in the well-equipped studio. I even had a one-on-one session with Sally, as the others did not appear, which was a real treat.
I know this sounds like I am being paid, but I'm just a normal punter who had a lovely time in The Gallivant.
