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 had a fabulous two night stay at The Gallivant. It was faultless.
Cozy, welcoming, friendly and helpful staff, amazing food and comfortable rooms.
We loved the relaxing atmosphere and felt 'at home' as soon as we arrived.
There were several unique formats, i.e. the breakfast, wine at five, wellies, beach bags and towels being easily available.
Thank you all.

We visited the Gallivant as a treat for a special birthday and from the start to the end of our stay, we felt incredibly looked after. We were welcomed warmly with tea and cake, personally shown around the beautiful lounge area and then taken to our cosy and gorgeously decorated room. Every detail had been thought through.
The cocktails were delicious, dinner was spectacular and it’s the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had!
The shower was wonderful and we slept like logs. An amazing location so close to the beach too.
We left feeling both utterly relaxed and very sorry to have only stayed one night. Would (and will) recommend in a heartbeat
