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 really enjoyed our stay at The Gallivant. The room was lovely and clean, the staff welcoming and our dog was made to feel very at home (she particularly enjoyed the treats by the front door!). We loved the breakfast table, the freshly cooked eggs and toast made a refreshing change from the usual hotel fare, and the continental breakfast tray was also delicious.

For the first time, we had Sunday lunch at Harry's. Every course was delicious. Smoked cod's roe, roast beef with all the trimmings and a sublime praline dessert. We couldn't fault it!
Lovely rooms, dog friendly and we love the style of breakfast offered. So much more interesting than 'full english'
Thank you and see you next time!

This was our 4th visit to The Gallivant – and we have loved it so much, we sent my parents there as well!
The setting is spectacular and the service matches that. The food is excellent and the staff are relaxed but attentive and friendly but unobtrusive.
It is for sure our UK home from home.
Many thanks
