Hi Elise, we really enjoyed our stay, the weather was a lovely bonus so that we could enjoy the beach, your beautiful coastal garden and our garden room to the max! We booked the complete package, so touches like wine at 5 and the elevenses are lovely to have (even though we didn't always partake). The food was delicious, and your team were very knowledgeable about where everything was sourced from and local producers. One guy stood out but I am not sure of his name, he was always in the restaurant, and served the wine on the terrace at 5. English wines were a real hit with us, we absolutely love them anyway, but were recommended Simpsons from Canterbury which we enjoyed very much. The vibe at the Gallivant is beautifully relaxed but elegant, the layout is gorgeous and it is easy to find somewhere to chill out quietly. The terrace for breakfast was a favourite of ours. Beds were super comfy, and we loved all the Bamford goodies. All that aside, the Team really made our stay - friendly and engaging, super helpful and delivering a really high touch service. Thank you, we would love to come back and visit again. Bev and Guy

We had such a wonderful stay! It was absolutely brilliant! Everything was gorgeous - so easy to access what we needed and everyone was so helpful and went above and beyond eg with late check out, help with beach blankets etc. Would recommend to anyone!

Hello Elise and Team Another wonderful stay at The Gallivant (now my third). As always, all the staff were wonderful. Special thanks to Georgie, Paige and Naketa and before the stay Agnes - always cheery and helpful with arrangements. Can I also add Kieran to the list - he was delight at breakfast on my previous stay (23-25 March). I didn't know his name until now. Thanks again to you all. I'll be back for sure. Would like to add that I come back due to the staff and the service. You have a great team. Best wishes

We had a great stay - everything about the place works, the atmos is very calming (we chilled out almost instantly), the decor is done so well, the food and drink were great too, and the staff were excellent. The longer I stayed there and took in whats been done, the more I appreciated it (done so tastefully, and I cant think I've been anywhere like it in the UK). We will be back, and I'm looking forward to the new place at Littlestone opening. Regards, Gordon Humphrey

This was our second stay at The Gallivant, and we were thrilled to discover that it is still a perfect place for a weekend get-away, or for any other kind of get-away come to that. Our room was stylish, wonderfully comfortable and came with everything we might need, including a good selection of books, a pack of playing cards and a set of dominoes in case we ran out of other things to do (not very likely). The staff were lovely – cheerful, friendly, and helpful (without being intrusive) and the food was delicious, with some interesting combinations, and a strong focus on local produce which is great. Overall, a welcoming and relaxing place to stay – and as you can probably tell, high on our list of favourites!

Gosh, where to start? For 24 wonderful hours we have just escaped from ‘the real word’ and have been cosseted by a fabulous team of people in surroundings that made me feel even more at home than our home!! You’ve created a superb environment; meticulous design with great attention to detail…..almost ‘womb like’! Nico and the kitchen team have produced for us some exceptionally enjoyable meals which really promote the seasonality and local availability of produce. Last nights dinner was possibly THE best and perfectly cooked steak I’ve eaten with a fresh salsa sauce - what a winning combo!! Of course, it is all about the team who created the atmosphere and environment. From the minute we walked through the door (sounds like a song?) Lindsay, Nikita, George, Tim and Hamish could not do enough for us and of course Ralph our dog. Wonderful people who work together to produce a wonderful experience. To the rest of the hotel team (servers, housekeeping, kitchen and grounds) you are also unsung heroes as everywhere was just a joy to behold. I felt quite sad leaving you this morning! We both commented that we felt as though we’d been away a lot longer than just a short 24 hours. We will look forward to our return, as will Ralph! Our only comment that we felt we could suggest for improvement is the provision of USB sockets in the bedroom for phone charging. Although we did bring a plug with us, it would be good to have sockets by the bed for charging. Otherwise, just brilliant! Thank you to everyone - you’re all complete STARS!
