Are you child friendly?
The Gallivant is a small hotel that feels more like a private house, created to give all our guests a deep sense of relaxation and comfort.
Because it only takes one high spirited young child to shatter that sense of calm, we decided to welcome everyone over the age of 12.
How many people can stay in my room?
We don’t have any family rooms. All our bedrooms have King or Super King beds and are strictly for 2 adults. The Baby Hampton and Large Hampton rooms have day beds which can be made up for one extra person but this must be confirmed and paid at the time of booking.
