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.

Yoga – loved it.

Location – amazing.

Food – was the only thing we felt could be better. Hard to find something we wanted. The combinations of ingredients were unusual and lacked flavour. We found the food bland and disappointing.

We would stay again but not eat there again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay, extremely relaxing, thank you. The lounge, bar, restaurant and the room were utterly gorgeous and very inviting. Food and drink excellent, all staff extremely friendly and helpful. We loved it. Also loved the special little touches like handwritten welcome note, provision of wellies etc.

Anna was especially friendly at breakfast and remembered our request for soya milk.

To achieve absolute perfection there are a few tiny things I noticed:
– room 19 – inside wardrobes could be dusted better.
– offer of firmer (memory foam perhaps) pillows would be welcomed
– room 19 – drains really gurgled in the shower after flushing the loo and also didn’t smell amazing.
– A shame there is not a dual flush to save water.
– room 19 the ‘single’ wardrobe light sensor is not fitted correctly so it does not turn off when the door shuts and remains constantly on
– bubble bath and/or salts would be very welcomed!
– restaurant ladies loos – the wall hung toilets are set far too low / close to the floor so are very very uncomfortable to sit on.
– lounge games lovely but both sets of the connect 4 are missing pieces (and the colour difference between the two players is not pronounced enough to play in low lighting!)

We had a wonderful time, thank you so much!
