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 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Gallivant. On arrival, we were greeted by the receptionist (Jo I think). She was very welcoming and enthusiastic and took pleasure in explaining everything to us. The decor and general presentation of the hotel was superb: tasteful decoration and furnishings all around, culminating in a stunning room (Wight). We felt perfectly at home, with the beautiful surroundings adding to our feeling of 'being spoilt'. All other aspects of the hotel did not disappoint. Staff and service were all 'spot on'. We simply do not know why there are not more hotels like this. Is it that difficult to offer top quality in ambience, furnishings, art work, food – and so much more? Sadly, The Gallivant is the exception to the general rule. Others could take some lessons on 'how to do it'. Thank you. We will be returning.
