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.

Hi Elise

Thanks for a great stay this week. We loved the hotel and will surely come back again soon. The team were accommodating to allow us an extra hour in our room on Friday – to allow for Storm Eunice.

One minor thing – most of the staff wore their masks around their necks. It's no longer mandatory for people to wear masks and it just draws attention to the fact that they're not wearing them properly. I suggest your team wear them properly or not at all

Thank you so much for a WONDERFUL honeymoon. We stayed for 5 nights and had a blissful time. It was so realising, loved the art work, great helpful and friendly staff. Really informative and fun wine tasting with Paul. Paul have great advice about visiting Gusbourne which we did and enjoyed immensely. We enjoyed the small touches like access to wellies, wine at 5 and the bedtime tea. The snug area in the reception is really cosy and great book selection. The food delicious the only tiny thing may be to add a breakfast dish to the menu that changes daily like dinner. all the staff were super attentive and kind.

We had a great first stay at the Gallivant. From the moment we arrived all staff, from the housekeeping team to front of house to bar staff, were very welcoming. The vibe was attentive but relaxed. The room was compact but clean and stylish. We loved the communal spaces and enjoyed the English wine tasting. Special mentions to Becky, for fitting us into the wine tasting after the knife skills was cancelled; Daisy, for a fantastic massage; Dan, for just being a smiling presence; Corey, for great service at dinner, Paul for drinks advice and finding an alternative cheese; Monty, for a warm welcome and helpful check out, and Naketa for her warm presence at breakfast.
