The Gallivant

We had a wonderful time with you this week. We were so touched by the upgrade to our room to help us celebrate our 25 years being married. We absolutely loved the room. The bedding was divine and really appreciated the decor. We loved the wine at 5pm and it was a nice opportunity to try English wine. We enjoyed the snug area and cosy atmosphere of the bar. We are enthusiastic board game players and it was great to have so many options and some which definitely had a touch of nostalgia. The evening meal was delicious - the bar service was excellent and so personal. The only slight issue was that we had already finished our starters by the time our wine arrived! The breakfast was delicious - and loved every aspect of it. We enjoyed the yoga - although it was definitely challenging! Nikita gave us such a warm and lovely welcome. Our only disappointment was that we hadn’t booked a 2 night stay!

Lindsay is amazing! The whole team were so friendly and welcoming during our stay. Our room was perfect. We booked Gallivant to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary and so the postcard in our room was an added special touch. We thought it was lovely that they had all the necessities for the beach available to the guests - sun hat /beach mat /towels/umbrella etc. The only one thing which we would’ve liked is a fridge in our room to put our Champagne in ☺️ Other than that we had an amazing short stay. We have already recommended The Gallivant to our friends . Nikki H.

I really wanted to give this five stars. The vibe is amazing, the decor imaginative and there are lots of nice touches to make your seaside stay fun. If you are a townie having a weekend at the seaside, everything is laid on so you don’t have to bring the things you probably don’t have. The food menu was a bit limited but very well prepared and totally delicious. The service started well and to be fair ended well but in between … well there wasn’t any. If you are paying £75 plus a head for a simple evening meal I would expect the staff to be checking in on me, offering a drink top up or more this and that. But no, we were left alone and my desire for more wine was unrequited. So, marked down big time on that. Such a pity, everything else was so good.
