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.

Our stay was so excellent, I loved every moment of it and my only complaint is that it was too short.

The staff were so fantastic, I do not want to name them individually because to do so would be unfair on the 1-2 names that I have unfortunately forgotten but just as much contributed to the amazing stay.

The room was gorgeous, so considered and detailed. Also whilst this, of course, could not have been intentional; I am a filmmaker and so was delighted to find a copy of 501 must see movies in my room! We turned it into a game and tried to guess as many films as possible that were in there.

On the topic of games we also loved how well-stocked the lounge was. The cocktail names escape me but I thoroughly enjoyed the two elderflower ones! Tiniest of critiques that doesn’t impact my score at all; as part of the complete package we had “wine at 5” and I think it would be helpful to clarify what this is. With the advertised one hour window, our assumption wasn’t that it would’ve been a single glass of wine each! So just some clarity on the information given online on that would be fab.

I don’t know how much more I can say here other than the Michelin guide key (which I was not aware of prior) is so well deserved. Have already started shouting about The Gallivant to my friends and hope a future stay awaits me in the future.
