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.

If we had to pick one member of staff that stood out, it would actually be so difficult to say. They were all so lovely.

We were particularly impressed with all board games, the cute notice board and the quality of food.

Absolutely loved the art work and decor.

We can’t wait to come back!

Fabulous!! A one night stay for our 20th Wedding Anniversary.

The gardens are stunning, full of Jasmine and beautiful rose bushes. The hotel is delightful and full of extremely thoughtful extras to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Dinner was divine! I had the lamb which made my mouth water.

Morning Yoga on the beach with India was serene.

Breakfast wax treat with the option to pop it in a bag and wander down to the beach to eat al fresco.

The staff were warm, kind and engaging.

Thank you Oscar, for the perfectly crafted flat whites that helped us on our way as we sadly left for home. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

The staff were excellent and welcoming. James on front of house was brilliant, so polite and helpful. The Scottish manager in the restaurant was also brilliant, so knowledgeable and so engaging with all the guests. The only suggestion & not a criticism would be nice to have a complimentary soft drinks and biscuits in the room. But to be honest a lovely experience and we'll be back with the rest of the family. Thank you
