Incredibly lovely stay! Never been before, will definitely return. Staff were all so welcoming, rooms delightful, food excellent. Location also brilliant - love the little extras they provide to make heading to the beach a joy! Would absolutely recommend.

Utterly brilliant. The staff were wonderful. Quite easily the most helpful staff we have ever encountered. Rooms comfortable and well designed, food excellent. Really convenient location. Couldn't have asked for better. Many, many thanks.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gallivant. Lindsay was very welcoming as suits someone who is titled "Head of Happiness" and all the staff were always very cheery and helpful and generally could not do enough for you. We loved the room although must say we found the bed a little too soft for our liking. What really stood out were the breakfasts and dinner we had there with the latter honestly being one of the best meals we've had in a long time. Although it did not spoil the overall enjoyment, I thought the supplementary charge on the final bill for water and internet a little unnecessary.

We had a lovely birthday weekend at The Gallivant Hotel. It was perfect from start to finish. All members of the team are very welcoming and happy. I think it must be a very nice place to work. The food in Harry's was fabulous. We both had fish on Friday and Saturday night and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The sharing apple tart was amazing as was the Chocolate dessert! The breakfast was lovely - we really liked the breakfast spread - so nice to not have an English breakfast - a breath of fresh air. The Granola and Smoked Salmon were lovely. We give the breakfast 10/10! The weather was so good we ate outside on the Sunday. We were lucky enough to be upgraded as it was a birthday weekend - thank you very much :). Cake at 4pm and wine at 5 pm was a really nice touch. All together a lovely relaxing weekend in a lovely environment eating lovely food. Harry you have a really nice Hotel and ethos going on there. Thank you. We will be back.

A lovely stay. One night of being made to feel welcome and at home. Such a lovely relaxing place. Totally chilled and looked after by fantastic, friendly staff. Nikita welcomed us and from then on everyone was amazing as well. We loved the room and the food at Harry’s was delicious. We are looking forward to returning.

2 😊night stay at the end of February.. Our 2nd visit in 6 months & we were excited to return 👍.. It was nice to be ' expected' & the welcome from all the team across our stay was consistently friendly 😊👍.. Our 2 dogs were made to feel welcome & fussed over..👍👍.. I feel it's a testimony to everyone that there was no one that outshone anyone else, i.e. all deserve 5😊👍.. Good food, with the standout dish being the Scallops 😋😋.. The ' wine at 5' offerings hit the spot too..😊.. We will return & will definitely recommend..⭐..

A fantastic stay for us both this weekend. A room upgrade which was an amazing bonus, a warm and helpful welcome from Lindsay, along with the very best in service from everyone in the team. To improve? Maybe consider an egg chef for breakfasts. Offering scrambled, poached and fried along with eggs benedict/Florence from the kitchen would really enhance breakfasts.

Having had such a fabulous new year at the Gallivant for 2024, we decided to treat ourselves and return this year. One of the things we loved last year was the opportunity to chill, I mean how often do we do this so that is what we wanted again. We got out for a couple of walks but we also spent time curled up on the sofa reading and listening to our music. We liked the way things were slightly different so there was an air of surprise still there and we loved the food, in fact we thought the food was even better than the year before. The lamb we had on New Years Eve was the best I have tasted for a long time. The staff were fabulous and we felt we were 'home' again. Thank you so much.

Our recent stay at The Gallivant was our second visit, and it was a great way to spend New Year's. The peaceful coastal setting provided the perfect backdrop to relax and start the year on a calm and positive note. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we felt comfortable throughout our stay. Their helpfulness and professionalism stood out once again. The food and drinks were excellent. The room was cozy, with thoughtful amenities that made our stay even more enjoyable. We're glad we chose The Gallivant for our New Year's getaway and would happily return in the future.
