    This place suits me perfectly! I enjoy the free wi-fi, 24-hour reception, and bar area. I remember when the staff helped me find my lost wallet. Once, Sam made my stay even better with their kindness. Don't miss it!

    garden area
    sun terrace
    non-working extractor fan

    Absolutely loved our stay! We enjoyed relaxing in the garden area and soaking up the sun on the terrace. The only small hiccup was the bathroom extractor fan not working, but it didn’t take away from our overall experience. 🌞

    delicious food
    friendly environment
    dog-friendly policies
    small shower
    early breakfast

    The Gallivant offered a cozy atmosphere, ideal for relaxing, especially after a walk on Camber Sands. The staff genuinely tried to create a welcoming environment, accommodating my needs promptly. The food featured local ingredients, and I particularly enjoyed the lamb Gnocchi, bursting with flavor but could have used larger portions. The beach access was a big plus, allowing leisurely strolls with my dog. the room for my stay felt smaller than expected, and the shower drainage was an issue, affecting comfort. There was confusion surrounding the billing, especially regarding additional charges I wasn't informed about, like for the sparkling wine left in my room, which was frustrating. Breakfast choices seemed limited, and I missed out due to early serving times, which didn’t align with the relaxing weekend vibe I hoped for. I was hoping for a more flawless experience given the price point.

    The garden area outside offered a peaceful retreat in the mornings, perfect for sipping coffee while reading a book. Local wines featured prominently on the menu, enhancing the dining experience, and the beautifully decorated spaces contributed to a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

    Some areas outside felt a bit worn-down compared to the price being charged, which caught my attention upon arrival. The lack of air conditioning in the room was surprising given its small size, making it uncomfortably warm at times. the shower had drainage issues, causing a flood on the bathroom floor during use. The car park felt cramped and tricky to navigate, particularly for larger vehicles. Lastly, the confusion over the complimentary sundowner drink was frustrating. a clearer offering would have been appreciated.

    tasty meals
    beach access
    unique shops
    uncomfortable nights

    Had an awesome time with my friends! The beach nearby was perfect for relaxing, and we enjoyed exploring the unique shops in town. The food was a highlight for us, especially the tasty evening meals. Practical note , the breakfast could use a bit more variety.

    One hiccup was the lack of air conditioning in our room, which made nights a bit uncomfortable since we hesitated to keep the patio doors open.

    exceptional dining
    beautiful decor
    coastal atmosphere
    limited menu

    I found the Gallivant an inspiring retreat after a day of outdoor adventures. The beautiful decor and exceptional dining options made my stay memorable, though the limited menu options could be refined. a delightful base for exploring Camber Sands.

    premium toiletries
    garden rooms
    cozy retreat
    extractor fan

    A nice touch includes premium shampoo and conditioner, enhancing the in-room experience. The delightful garden rooms provide a cozy retreat after a day at the nearby beach.

    The extractor fan in the bathroom didn’t work properly, which could be bothersome during longer stays. I also encountered confusion around menu items and billing, especially with the complimentary sundowner drink and service charges feeling unclear. I noticed that the breakfast portions and quality varied. some days felt less generous than others. It felt a bit frustrating resolving misplaced dish orders, which impacted the dining experience. Lastly, the atmosphere in the lounge and restaurant dipped due to the chill in the air, making it less inviting to linger.

    local ingredients
    cozy vibe
    exciting menu
    small room
    lack of storage

    The dining scene was a culinary delight with local ingredients shining in every bite. Breakfast was a standout, serving up quality fare. Plus, the weekend vibe was cozy, and the menu changed daily, keeping our evenings exciting! Happiness really is a trip to Gallivant!

    While the Double Room was nicely decorated in that cape cod beach style, it was a bit snug for my taste. No hand shower, and storage was lacking, but it was still a comfy stay for a weekend romp.

    comfy bed
    complimentary yoga class
    dog-friendly policy
    extra charge
    filtered water fee

    The atmosphere was lovely and we enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing stay. The complimentary yoga class was a great way to start the day, and the Valentine's chocolates left for us were a delightful touch. I particularly loved the dog-friendly policy, which allowed our cockerpoo to join us for our beach holiday. The interior decor was stylish, and the bed was extremely comfy.

    friendly staff
    delicious breakfast
    small room
    noise disturbances
    limited accessibility

    The staff genuinely exceeded expectations, going out of their way to ensure my dog and I felt right at home. The breakfast options were delightful, particularly the homemade ice cream. The atmosphere throughout the hotel was warm and inviting, complemented by its prime location for beach walks. I found the room a bit smaller than anticipated, and there were moments when noise from neighboring guests was noticeable, which disrupted the serenity I sought.
