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.

The Gallivant is such a special place. The perfect combination of luxury and ease. Fish and chips in the beach with a bottle of fizz was a dream come true!! So special!! Oscar, Johnny, Mosley were all super warm and friendly and lots of fun. As were all the staff but didn’t catch their names. Harry the chef does an outstanding job, his food is scrumptious. Loved the breakfasts and the ease of it all. You are the perfect hosts. Can’t wait to come again. Thank you so much.

We had such a fantastic stay. Our second time at The Gallivant. The first for my birthday and last Sunday for my partners birthday. Very special indeed. Our room was fantastic and we were thrilled to be upgraded. The food was excellent ( we missed the Madeline’s at breakfast as my partner has been dreaming about them since the last time!) but breakfast, lunch and dinner was wonderful. The staff were all fantastic…. Especially Lindsay and the lovely guy who welcomed us who’s name I didn’t know. They were both so fantastic. We look forward to coming again and are dreaming of getting married at the Gallivant ❤️

We stayed at the Gallivant to see the hotel prior to our daughter’s wedding there in July. The hotel is an absolute oasis- the staff are warm, inviting and can’t do enough for their guests. The food was plentiful, creative and delicious. We stayed in a garden room which was beautifully decorated and although small, was very comfortable. No small detail was overlooked. We have complete confidence that our daughter’s wedding day will be an amazing occasion in a truly special venue.
