I found this hotel via a random internet search and have to say that it's an absolute gem. My husband and I are seasoned travellers both in the UK and abroad and have high expectations of the hotels we stay in. The staff were very friendly and extremely professional. We decided to upgrade to a king sized room as there... More

I was taken here for my second wedding anniversary and what a treat it was! The first surprise was being upgraded to their beach hut suit - a lovely bright room with a big bed and a sofa. After chilling out, we went for food and were treated to a glass of bubbles to wish us happy anniversary - locally... More

After a spout of illnesses both my husband and I were glad to be getting away for an over night break and some sea air. The staff at the Galivant were helpful and friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble for them to organise. We had a lovely room that over looked the dunes and was spotlessly clean, with the...

We were taken here for a Sunday lunch back in January, it was delicious. We married on the 19th May and and wanted to take a break by the sea, but having a 9 month old puppy whom we had not left before had left us in a quandary, I spoke to a lovely lady on the phone whom said... More

we got a late booking after seeing the resort in a magazine and we were fortunate to get the hottest weather of the year. The room was ultra clean and comfortable and the staff bent over backwards to accommodate us. The food was great and the bistro staff as helpful as the hotel staff. The beach is literally over the...

We had the pleasure of having lunch at the Gallivant hotel recently. It was a fantastic lunch, very attentive staff, and great food. It was a lovely location by the beach, perfect for a walk with the dog.

My wife and I visted the Gallivant oportunistically last weekend and were delighted by the fresh and inspired menu. The quality and preparation was well above what we paid for it and I highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. I had a fresh seafood platter. My wife said potted shrimps were to die for. Nice.

We stayed one night after spending the day on their 'Fish, from boat to plate' course. Well situated across the road from a huge beach. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms simply but sytylishly furnished with everything we needed and a few welcome extras, including home made biscuits! Breakfast was delicious and filling using local produce. Would recommend.

Hi 2CAM - thanks for your review. It was a good course we thought and great bunch of people attending. I know Trevor (head chef) really enjoyed the day and seeing as the feast at the end of the day went on for over 2 hours, so did you guys! best wishes The Gallivant Team More

Having spent over £250 on a nights stay with dinner and breakfast, it did leave me thinking we had been cleverly marketed to. The room was ok but certainly not superior as badged. The room was 10x10ft with a sofa squeezed in. The normal family bathroom and outlook onto the car park gave it a real B&B feel. Yes there... More

Hi Travelhoundsquirrel Thanks for taking the time to write a review. I've stayed in some really special B&B's in my time so not entirely sure what point you are making with your header. We aren't sure which room you stayed in but assuming it has a sofa in it it was either one of the outside rooms or larger Deluxes... More

An excellent location - right by the sands. The welcome was warm, the rooms well equipped and the food truly delicious. I haven't had a French soup outside of France that was quite as tasty.
