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.

Dear Elise,
We had the most wonderful stay at the beautiful Gallivant. The room was delightful, all staff friendly and helpful at all times, and the food was delicious. Lyndsey was brilliant: when we checked in, I asked for a kettle and on our return from a short walk on the beach, we had a beautiful tray waiting for us. We also loved the infectious enthusiasm of the young manager who greeted us for our evening meal. Although our stay was sadly a brief one we came away feeling refreshed and relaxed. We very much look forward to our next visit.

Another wonderful stay at The Gallivant.

All the staff on duty during the my stay (23-25 March) were first class. Nothing was too much trouble. They were all exceptional. Everyone on duty understands your product so well. 10/10!

The beds and pillows are a dream.

The food was so delicious and the provision of recipe cards a marvellous idea.

Thanks to you all. I'm coming back again soon, so will look forward to that very much.

Thank you very much for a comfortable stay at the Gallivant. We felt very well and carefully looked after given my partner's disability. Nothing was too much trouble and the food and rooms and overall atmosphere and feel of the place was relaxed and gently luxurious.
There was a lot of attention to detail and the general areas where you could relax or work or chat were very attractive.

Just love the spaces particularly the lounge area – it is so relaxing .
Even had electric car charging points and we got some sunshine- everything was perfect!
