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.

Our stay was part of an Ultimate English Wine Experience that my wife bought as my Christmas present. We had a great time at the Gallivant, the only drawback being that it was only for one night.
All food and drinks were excellent with plenty of nice touches.
Staff were friendly and helpful and made us feel that nothing was too much trouble.
Would definitely recommend.

A great place to relax and unwind. Roll up early to enjoy drinks and a spot of lunch on the sun drenched courtyard. The beach is only a short stroll across the dunes and the perfect place to watch sunset over the water as day turns to night.

Soak away the day’s activities in the oversized tub in your ultra comfy room, before sitting down to a locally sourced dinner menu that tastes every bit as good as it looks. The atmosphere is very chilled, it’s adults only, but if you let them know in advance your four legged friends can come too.

This was our second visit and we will definitely be back. Just over an hour and a half from SW London it’s great for a mini holiday or just to treat yourself.
