Brilliant location, tremendous service, gorgeous food. Room 20 is probably the best. Dog friendly place, with the beach 50 metres away.

The whole hotel is very relaxing, fresh and colourful. The staff are engaging, efficient and informative.
Access to the beach is only 100 metres away, so we went for a walk before Dinner to watch the sunset and again before breakfast, to get woken up !

We had a fantastic time at the Gallivant. It was every bit as good as we'd hoped. The decor was sublime. It managed the beach feel without resorting to cliche'd styling. I've gone home with a few ideas to freshen up our home.

We were most impress with the customer service throughout our stay and particarly Lindsay at front of house. Service was attentive without being overly familiar.

When an establishment is this good it can feel a little over-exclusive and "sniffy" but we felt welcome and at ease throughout our stay. A real home from home.

I was particularly pleased at the quality of the yoga class. These add-ons can often be mediocre at best but this was a high quality class with an excellent yogi. I only wish I were closer and could come regularly.

I don't often write long reviews but you all deserve to hear how happy we were with our visit.

Thank you and well done. A wonderful team makes for a wonderful experience.

We had an amazing stay, the level of service was so high, all your staff are wonderful and so helpful. We had dinner at the restaurant and the food was incredible. We also enjoyed the cosy bar area for tea and cake, our only criticism was not enough of the white chocolate blondies, they were delicious. Cannot fault anything in the room it was gorgeous and lovely and clean. We also loved that there was a selection of boots, towels and coats for guests to wear to the beach, my only comment would be to make guests more aware of this before they come so they don’t overpack like me. We hope to be back soon. Thank you

What a breath of fresh air, literally! A young competent and engaged staff, helpful, kind and fun. The food was utterly superb and far better than the 3 Star Michelin restaurant we experienced 5 days earlier in Reims.
A lovely experience, WELL DONE!
