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.

Staying at the Gallivant is a uniquely wonderful experience. I've stayed in plenty of nice hotels and eaten at plenty of good restaurants, but the Gallivant goes way beyond this. The attention to detail (whether in the garden, the decor, the housekeeping, the complimentary cake and wine, or whatever) is extraordinary, and guests feel really well looked after. I'd like to thank all the staff, who achieve exactly the right balance of friendliness and helpfulness, without ever being intrusive. A triumph!

Hi Conor

Hi Conor
Wonderful stay, 2 nights last weekend. Relaxed, cosy and welcoming. Staff, without exception, were hard-working, positive and truly helpful. Special thanks to Jo (nothing was too much trouble) and Ruth (great Reflexology treatment). You have created a great atmosphere and the breakfast tray was a new idea which injected an interesting twist on usual buffet breakfasts. Thank you to all your team. The attention to detail and care often comes from the top so thank you to you too!
Kind regards

We had yet another perfect stay at the Gallivant. Dinner both nights was delicious, we loved the new breakfast tray and John and his team at the bar continue to do an amazing job. English wine at 5 is such a treat and a fun way to discover new local wines, which we wouldn't otherwise have tried. We can't wait for our next stay and I am sure will continue to be regulars at the Gallivant for years to come.
