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 had the best time at the Gallivant! We had previously visited the restaurant for lunch and enjoyed such good meal we decided to book a Sunday night stay as a short summer break. We were so well looked after by all the staff and wished we had booked for two nights rather than one. The restaurant team looked after us so well. Joe was an outlier in a team of true professionals, his passion for English wine and great hospitality were on display from the outset and we thoroughly enjoyed his personal approach. We were pleased to be welcomed with the English Wine at 5 and subsequently took advantage of the hotel's 'cocktail in the dunes' offer, where we enjoyed margaritas, made by Jonathon, whilst watching the sunset. The Gallivant is a really special place and we hope to visit again very soon!

We had a truly amazing weekend. Everyone is so lovely and has time to talk to the guests. Our room was amazing! The food was incredible! The chefs chatted as they went by and their knowledge and craft resulted in some of the best food we have ever eaten. Ditto the wine! See you all again soon, and thank you for having us stay.

We enjoyed our stay with the dog in Room 15. It was our first overnight with the dog and we found The Gallivant especially because you offered dog-friendly accommodation. The atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming, facilities were great and products were high quality and we found the all the staff friendly and helpful from the reception to bar and restaurant members. The price was pricier than we would normally tend to pay but we recognise the value throughout our stay. Thank you.
