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

We loved our stay! Thank you. Your hotel is very peaceful and happy place. The staff made it such a wonderful and relaxing stay. Anna,
Elton and Lindsay are all very special and gifted. Their warmth and honesty came through. We also appreciated all the effort Monty went to for us. John on the bar was friendly and open.

The one thing that could be improved is maybe better sound proof doors as you can hear everything (room 3) including a crying baby over night close by.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We enjoyed both our dinners & the breakfast is, indeed, quite special and unique- which is quite hard these days. The beans coffee was top.

All best

We have just returned from the most amazing long weekend away at the Gallivant – and are already discussing when we can go back! After a really tough year we needed to get away, really switch off and spoil ourselves for our anniversary – the Gallivant was the perfect place to do this. Our room and the entire place was decorated beautifully, so trendy but tasteful. Attention to detail is evident at every turn, from the sleepy tea night time delivery to the arrival note wishing us a happy anniversary, and the environmentally-friendly water bottles. The bed and bath was luxurious. The food – from breakfasts, home-roasted salted almonds at the bar, to incredible dinners and a specially curated selection of wines and cocktails – was nothing short of exceptional. We loved our yoga class with India and wish we could have stayed longer to do more of the experiences. We both had massages at the spa with the brilliant Daisy, the tipping point into ultimate relaxation.

ALL the staff were brilliant – attentive and knowledgable but relaxed and we loved this as often at hotels the staff can be stuck up and a bit too formal and stuffy. Naketa and Monty took really good care of us and made us feel so welcome.

Looking to make this a yearly (or even bi-annual) visit.
