Your Coastal Celebration

WEDNESDAY 30th to FRIDAY 1st JANUARY

This New Year, make the coast your home. At The Gallivant in East Sussex, our New Year Escape blends calm by the dunes, seasonal food at Harry’s and the spark of midnight fireworks overlooking Camber Sands.

At The Gallivant, New Year’s Eve always feels effortless.

Imagine the tranquility of long walks along our deserted beach, or starting that good book you’ve never quite started. Evenings focus on delicious dinners, with nothing more taxing than choosing which cocktail to start the evening.

Champagne in hand, candlelights flickering, our New Year’s escape has been thoughtfully designed to balance relaxation with moments of celebration, creating memories to carry with you throughout the coming year.

*****

Your New Year’s experience includes:

Upon arrival we’ll welcome you to The Gallivant with a freshly baked cake from the kitchen, before you enjoy a delightful a la carte dinner in Harry’s.

New Year’s Eve Day starts with an early morning wellness class for those inclined before a leisurely Gallivant breakfast to decide the plans for the day.  As the dusk falls, the evening unfolds with champagne, canapés and laughter, accompanied by our brilliant pianist to set the scene.

An exquisite four-course dinner at Harry’s leads into the night’s celebration with coffee and digestifs, fireworks on our terrace, and a midnight champagne toast to ring in the New Year.

New Year’s Day can start with a restorative wellness class for the strong before another a leisurely Gallivant breakfast, giving time to reflect on the night just past and the year ahead and fond farewells.

We’ve attended to every detail to ensure your New Year’s with us will be both restorative and joyful—the perfect beginning to 2027.

Well it was a 3 day blow the cobwebs away break for us , never been to stay with you before , but what a great little find you are , firstly we were greeted by young monty, as he was our very first port of call , I have to say, what a perfect , polite, lovely young man to have at check in , and from then on every member of staff we met, carried on that vein, all the staff were happy, chatty, informative, and just generally nice people , it was like staying with friends ,
As for the hotel , just great , food in the restaurant was excellent, drinks perfect , the emphasis on local food and English wine , just great , our room ( large Hampton) was lovely , good lighting, plenty of storage , if there was a minor suggestion it would be a couple of hooks in the bathroom , either for towels, or robes , just a trivial thing , but something that could very easily be added, the day bed in the room, and the nightly tea , great touches, all in all we had a really nice stay , in a very well run and pretty little hotel , lovely an clean too ,
We will return , but we will also recommend to our friends , a few of which are dog lovers , it was lovely to see there was rooms set aside for dogs , well done !, and thank you for a great couple of days ,
Michelle and Anthony leeman room 12 , Tuesday 28th till today , see you all again sometime , happy 2022!

A wonderful second stay at the Gallivant. After a busy year (and busier than expected Christmas) it was wonderful to walk through the doors and really relax. As my husband puts it the Gallivant is 'classy but not pretentious'. It feels like you've come to stay with friends in their very nice home. And the little details make all the difference – 5pm wine, sleepy tea, lovely toiletries. Dinner and breakfast were gorgeous, as were the drinks from the really well curated bar list. Our garden room was cosy and comfortable, with a great overhead shower. I just wish we could have stayed for more than 1 night…maybe next time!

Just returned from an excellent stay, couldn’t fault anything we enjoyed every aspect of our stay,. We where welcomed by Monty who was so friendly he made us feel relaxed and welcome as soon as we stepped through the door. Every time we saw him he was so friendly and always polite with a big smile definitely a credit to the team. We had outstanding service from all of the staff which was much appreciated, special mention to Elton for super efficient breakfast service and compliments to all kitchen staff as we enjoyed our dinner immensely .
We found the bedroom Cosy and snug and so comfortable felt like our own little beach cabin and we loved the individual touches, birthday postcard, home made madelines and goodnight tea bag, keep doing what you are doing we wouldn’t change a thing , can’t wait to return . Many thanks to the whole team
