Thanks for a wonderful NYE stay. The food and service were excellent and the staff were all genuinely lovely. Moolie was a great front of house! Very cosy and relaxing. Thanks to Dawn for handing in our lost property. Wishing you all a happy healthy new year x

We had a wonderful stay at the Gallivant during the Twixmas period. Loved the decor, the vibe, the food and the wine. Everything was perfect and we felt we could really relax and recharge. Will come again for sure!

Our first visit to The Gallivant and spending Christmas away. We received a very warm welcome from Moolie who ensured our check in went smoothly. The ambience of The Gallivant is perfect, we felt very much at home and nothing was too much trouble. The furnishings and decor and the log fire make it a wonderful place to relax. We very much appreciated the fruit bowl and walnuts to crack. It was like spending Christmas in a beautiful country home rather than a hotel. The opportunity to do a morning yoga class is a great idea and Melanie is an excellent teacher. We were in a snug cabin, having booked late but didn’t find it too small. The space has been used well and the ability to make a tea or coffee was great. The food was excellent throughout we really couldn’t fault it. The evening bed turndown service was a nice surprise with sleepy tea and a flask of hot water left for us along with a little treat each evening. We loved sitting in the snug lounge and playing the many games on offer. Listening to the pianist on Boxing Day afternoon was blissful. I can’t really think of anything you could do to improve the experience. It really exceeded any expectations we had. All the staff were amazing, and work as a team which is important when it’s busy but nothing felt rushed, they were calm and courteous and friendly. Thank you for giving us a perfect Christmas and to Lindsey for taking the time to show us one of your luxury garden rooms before we left - one to try next time. If happiness is a place, then this is definitely it.

Very pleasant stay, lovely staff and surroundings

We’ve been coming to the Gallivant (or rather The place at the beach then The place) since 2005 and each visit brings new happy memories - thank you. We were greeted warmly by everyone, Nakeeta, Johnathon and Jo especially made us feel like old friends. Tiff in the restaurant was very knowledgable and we were impressed with her cheery yet professional manner. The food has definitely upscaled so many thanks to Matthew and the team couldn’t fault a thing. Also love the new breakfast suited us perfectly. We stayed in a snug room Fastnet and bed comfy of course, bamford treats always welcomed. Looking forward to our next visit. Happy Christmas to you all 🎅🏻🎄 Yvette Hales & Matt Wallis

Such a gorgeous winter getaway! Wonderful food, beautiful room and a very lovely team. Thank you!
