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 have been lucky enough to stay in many hotels around the world and your hotel is up there amongst the best. A real home from home service that made us want to stay longer. All the personal touches made our stay so comfortable. And each member of staff was so kind and helpful. Our purely personal preference would have been a larger bed, but that’s because we are ruined at home with a Super King. That said the bed was very comfortable. Thank you for all the effort you go to.

We loved your hotel, you really have created a unique experience & it’s lovely that you welcome dogs too.

All your staff were efficient, kind & friendly & we loved the little touches like elevenses & wine at 5.

Our only slight moan was that the evening meal was a little disappointing. We ordered greens to accompany the meal & were presented with a bowl of something green & brown. The waitress told me it was broccoli but they turned out to over fried sprouts which weren’t very pleasant. Not at all what I expected

Overall a very enjoyable visit though, thank you.
