Christmas 2026

We booked The Gallivant back in July for our wedding anniversary but had to move the date to October due to personal circumstances. All the way through staff were very accommodating and were only too helpful in helping change the date and ensure we were rebooked for the room, dinner and morning yoga. Communication at all times was fantastic!! So we at last stayed at The Gallivant and wow what an experience!! On arrival the staff were so welcoming, booking us in and showing us round the place. The shared spaces, such as the bar the reading room and restaurant are completed to a really high standard and the bedroom was really comfortable with a fantastic shower!! Pre dinner we enjoyed a few glasses of lovely English wines and then had an excellent two course meal which was cooked to perfection! We slept really well in a really cosy comfortable bed and woke to a relaxing yoga class with Katie followed by one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. Real shame we only had the one night… I could have easily stayed all weekend. Thanks to all the Gallivant staff for making our stay so memorable!! What a wonderful experience!!

We very much enjoyed our visit and the attention to detail in the rooms was exceptional. Very comfortable bed and generally a cosy atmosphere throughout the hotel. The gardens were also very well designed.

Both myself and my partner had a really wonderful 2 nights at The Gallivant [Complete Gallivant, booked with Mr and Mrs Smith]. We felt taken care of in every way by the staff whom were beyond incredible. The bedroom was large and spacious with a lovely garden/patio to sit out in. It was very clean, and the turn down service at night was a lovely surprise. The stay was everything we had imagined and expected it to be- quiet, cosy, and warm! I was looking for a cottage-like cosy stay, somewhere away from the hustle of the city and the Gallivant was just that. Food was delicious and the breakfast spread was very unique and something we really looked forward to every morning. We were so close to Camber beach as well, and the Gallivant provided wellies/blankets/towels if needed. Special shout out to Oscar and Muli for making us feel so welcome every day- they always had a smile on their faces, went above and beyond to keep guests happy and were such a delight. Thanks to Ruth for the spectacular body treatments too! Nothing to fault here on our stay.

We had a fantastic weekend at The Gallivant, the perfect blend of informality but attention to detail, care but not fussy. Jo in particular was a real stand-out at check-in set the tone for a really great couple of days. We can't wait for our next stay.
