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 the most wonderful stay with you last week. I enjoyed it so much that I extended my stay by an extra day. Every member of the staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. In particular, Georgina, whom I interacted with the most, was a delight. I found the gardens to be perfectly manicured with many opportunities to sit and read. And, the food was exceptional. I had dined every night and was very satisfied. The only glitch was taxi availability. I didn't have a car and getting a taxi was quite tricky. I realize this is out of your control. Said that, I was driven to the train station on the day of my departure by the resident manager of "happiness" which was not only generous but was a testament your excellent customer service. I can't wait to return.

We booked a last minute stay at The Gallivant and had a wonderful stay. It really exceeded all expectations and is a truly lovely place to get away. The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food in the restaurant was amazing. Would highly recommend and hope to return one day.

We had such a lovely stay – it really is a gem. Felt comfortable and stylish, but not in anyway pretentious.

All the staff stood one, especially a newer blonde lady on reception. Such a kind and helpful person!

There was a misunderstanding with the U30 rate on website, but the general manager was so great at dealing with it. She listed to the issue and solved very professionally. You can tell she really cares about the place :).

Would love to come again!
