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.

I had such a wonderful time at The Gallivant, I feel so refreshed thanks to the beautiful location and incredible staff who were kind and welcoming. My trip was even more special thanks to Evelyn, Lindsay, Naketa and Katie.

Evelyn is a superstar and brilliant at her job – she made my trip even better. We clicked straight away and she made me laugh and feel welcome, she's such a lovely person and an asset to The Gallivant. Also, a huge thank you to Lindsay for upgrading me to the Luxury Garden room – that bathtub was a dream! Naketa was so friendly, helpful and funny. Katie is such a sweet human! I don't usually practice yoga and she made me feel so comfortable and stayed to chat afterwards. If I was local, I'd be at her classes all the time!

Camber Sands is a new favourite place and I'd love to revisit The Gallivant. Thank you so much for making the trip so memorable for me! Tori 🙂

Stayed one night in January. Big mistake – should have stayed more! Beautiful "Hampton"bedroom. Comfortable public lounge filled with interesting books and magazines. Relaxed, friendly staff who were very helpful and professional. The 5pm welcome wine was nice touch and much appreciated. Freezing sleet curtailed our enjoyment of the sand dunes and Camber Sands; but we loved our brief stay.
