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 loved our stay. The room was perfect. We loved all the thoughtful touches – sleepy tea at night, glass of wine, tea and cake.

Really impressed with the decor generally and the bar / lounge was so comfortable

Breakfast was incredible – those sausages! Loved all the juices and breakfast pots.

Dinner was good, our mains was room temperature the first night (fish) so possibly the kitchen was struggling. 2nd night it was perfect.

Hotel staff were so friendly and helpful, a pure delight.

We will definitely come again!

From the moment I walked in early to the minute I left all of your staff were absolutely amazing to a solo traveller. Such warm lovely people really made me feel at home straight away. Sorry I can’t remember names but the bar man was great and the Lady in the spa and well everyone I met were great hosts and super accommodating. Everything was perfect – spa, food, the distance to the beach – it was all just what I needed. My only regret was that I only stayed for 1 day. Will return for sure.

Lovely relaxed vibe

It felt like we were the only people staying!
Really liked the crockery, cutlery, loved the glasses sparkling wine was served in
Hadn’t tried Gusborne before and really enjoyed it
The area of Camber seems a bit tired which is a shame but in the Gallivant bubble it was delightful!
Thank and well done and good luck with this crazy news world we live in!
