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 received a warm welcome as always. Grateful for the upgrade to a garden room, which we'll probably book next time we visit in the summer. Great help from reception who organised a taxi to take us to Hythe and back.
We were running late in the morning and appreciated the relaxed flexibility over the fabulous breakfast. What we really noticed was the unhurried sense of calm and friendliness from the staff on duty. We've been several times before and we'll definitely be back again.

An exceptional place. Thank you to all at The Gallivant for making us so welcome on a cold January day. The food and wines were excellent. We were so pleased to have a bath in our room – perfect after a long walk. Our waiter who I think was Louisa was very attentive.
Many thanks to all. We will be back!

Thank you so much for such a lovely stay at The Gallivant. It really set me up for the year and allowed me time and space to rest and relax, in a beautiful hotel and location. All the staff were truly excellent. I travel a lot with work, and stay in hotels all over the world and can honestly say I found this to be one of the best. It was a home from home, with such friendly staff (EVERYONE from Monty at the front desk to Anna serving my morning breakfast), who were very happy to help at any moment whilst striking the balance of leaving me to it. I have been telling all friends and colleagues about you, and I can't wait to come back. Thank you again
