My partner and I had the BEST stay here. From the minute we walked in, we were blown away by how lovely it was. So peaceful, cosy and the staff were all amazing!

We extended our stay just hours after checking in.

It is without a doubt the best hotel experience we have both ever had. Cannot commend the staff enough for their hospitality. Left us feeling extremely relaxed.

Will definitely be staying here again and would highly recommend it to anybody!

Delightful hotel- joyous to be there, great environment and wonderful team that you have.

I really cant think of anything to critique- Just a fervent request that you go on doing what you do.

I'm excited to hear about your new hotel at Romney bay (we used to go there years ago) wish you every sucess with t but with the hope it does not affect the great vibe you have at Camber sands.

This must have been our 6th or 7th visit and everything was superb as always. Had two of the most fantastic meals we have experienced in any restaurant. Special thanks to Lindsay for helping arrange an impromptu second night stay when we decided we didn’t want to go home! Her professionalism, warmth and humour are a credit and will keep us coming back.

We stayed for the night for Valentines, opting for the full Gallivant experience including breakfast and also had the special Valentines menu.

We were welcomed very warmly by Lindsay who gave us a useful tour. The bedroom was a tad small for our tastes but beautifully fitted out and furnished. If it had not been raining we would have enjoyed our little private terrace.

The provisiion ofteas and coffees in the excellent lounge areas was great and we liked that there were games and plenty of interesting reading matter. The included cake for residents was delicious and the included glass each of Flint Dry White Wine from Chapel Down was appreciated. We enjoyed our cocktails and took advantage of the Oyster Happy Hour. The range of high quality English spirits was impressive.

The valentines menu was excellent with a magnificent duck main course. Some great wines too from a very good list with loads of English wines.

Our breakfast was one of the best we have ever had anywhere (and we have had a lot!) and the granola superb. We bought some to take away.

Sevice was excellent and charming throughout.

Lindsay the customer service manager was absolutely brilliant, very charming and very funny. She is a credit to the business. Also the chap on the bar (Turkish, ddn't get his name) and breakfast service was really good.

We really like the sustainable local sourcing ethos and things like the Belu water. Very much to be applauded.

Well done altogether. We will return!

Really enjoyed our visit to the Gallivant. The bedroom was lovely, with a beautiful bath and dinner in the restaurant was excellent. The staff are all friendly and welcoming, especially Lindsay who went the extra mile to make our stay memorable. I would highly recommend the Gallivant.

Such a lovely stay in such a gorgeous hotel! My husband and I wanted a last minute Sunday night getaway to just relax and take some time out of busy schedules, and The Gallivant was the perfect place for this.

Great location, and such a lovely feel as soon as you walk into the reception area. The interior and little details were beautiful, all staff were helpful, friendly and welcoming throughout. We both had a full body massage and the treatment room for this set in the gardens, was such a gorgeous space! Our therapist Ruth was brilliant! The brand they use for the treatments was lovely, as a facialist I appreciate good brands for treatments and it did not disappoint. We spent the next morning attending the Yoga class followed by a delicious breakfast before checking out.

Would highly recommend a stay at The Gallivant! Already looking forward to staying again sometime!

We had a wonderful stay, the staff were welcoming and couldn’t do enough to add extra touches (dryrobes and coffee for our swim) and a late checkout – extra thanks to Lyndsey who was wonderful.

The only addition that would have been great would have been a Nespresso machine in the room.

Stayed here for my 40th with my wife.

Amazing, amazing stay and we're definitely coming back.

My wife and I have visited many different similar style boutique hotels over the years in the South East area and abroad. This was one of our favourite stays ever.

Firstly the welcome by Lindsay was so welcoming. It's a shame we only saw her for that brief moment during our stay.

The garden room was stunning and so comfortable and luxurious.

The details thought the hotel are beautiful. From the lime and knife in the room, to the half mirrored light bulb in the lamp shade above the bath (lol), to the wellies and picnic blankets for the beach and the games in the snug, the fire pit in the terrace, the list goes on.

This place was incredibly well designed and considered by someone who actually cares. You can feel the love and passion that has gone into this place.

Loved it and have the most incredible memories. Topped off by an incredibly warm and sunny January day where we could picnic on the dunes!

In terms of feedback, our only minor gripe was a tree surgeon who woke us quite early and was working outside our room. And also the noise of other room doors closing and slamming in the corridor.

Thank you for such a memorable 40th Birthday present 🙂
I don't usually leave feedback but this deserved it.

Another wonderful stay. Sublime. Special thanks to Lindsay, Naketa and Agnes who, as always, are so welcoming and make things run so smoothly. Agnes behind the scenes enhances the booking process. So nice to have a chat with her over the phone and then in person just makes it more personal. Lindsay misses nothing and is instrumental is getting the new staff up to speed in a kind, caring way. She and Naketa are the perfect Front of House team. They are a delight, making time for a chat and always have their eye out to step, in ensuring the service runs like clockwork.

The three of them really are the backbone of the hotel.

John behind the bar is knowledgeable and attentive, making sure your drink is exactly what you want and he was so informative when serving the meals too. Really knowing the produce and menu. Just excellent.

The Gallivant is an oasis of calm. I love it and will look forward to my return in March.
