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.

My partner and I had the BEST stay here. From the minute we walked in, we were blown away by how lovely it was. So peaceful, cosy and the staff were all amazing!

We extended our stay just hours after checking in.

It is without a doubt the best hotel experience we have both ever had. Cannot commend the staff enough for their hospitality. Left us feeling extremely relaxed.

Will definitely be staying here again and would highly recommend it to anybody!

I'm excited to hear about your new hotel at Romney bay (we used to go there years ago) wish you every sucess with t but with the hope it does not affect the great vibe you have at Camber sands.

This must have been our 6th or 7th visit and everything was superb as always. Had two of the most fantastic meals we have experienced in any restaurant. Special thanks to Lindsay for helping arrange an impromptu second night stay when we decided we didn’t want to go home! Her professionalism, warmth and humour are a credit and will keep us coming back.

We stayed for the night for Valentines, opting for the full Gallivant experience including breakfast and also had the special Valentines menu.

We were welcomed very warmly by Lindsay who gave us a useful tour. The bedroom was a tad small for our tastes but beautifully fitted out and furnished. If it had not been raining we would have enjoyed our little private terrace.

The provisiion ofteas and coffees in the excellent lounge areas was great and we liked that there were games and plenty of interesting reading matter. The included cake for residents was delicious and the included glass each of Flint Dry White Wine from Chapel Down was appreciated. We enjoyed our cocktails and took advantage of the Oyster Happy Hour. The range of high quality English spirits was impressive.

The valentines menu was excellent with a magnificent duck main course. Some great wines too from a very good list with loads of English wines.

Our breakfast was one of the best we have ever had anywhere (and we have had a lot!) and the granola superb. We bought some to take away.

Sevice was excellent and charming throughout.

Lindsay the customer service manager was absolutely brilliant, very charming and very funny. She is a credit to the business. Also the chap on the bar (Turkish, ddn't get his name) and breakfast service was really good.

We really like the sustainable local sourcing ethos and things like the Belu water. Very much to be applauded.

Well done altogether. We will return!
