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.

Yoga was exceptional. Three classes in 4 days. Not staying at the hotel but greeted like a valued customer when I went to class. Orange shot after was most welcome. The studio was so well equipped. Thank you Melanie for pushing me outside my comfort zone xxx

We were planning to go to Babington House in Somerset, but decided to try somewhere different for a change. The place is cosy and the bar area was inviting. You get complementary cake at 4pm and then wine at 5pm. The place did feel a little bit like an old peoples home. it was very quiet and calm, which was nice, but it was missing any kind of buzz or vibe in the evening. I wonder whether it is more lively at the weekends? Food in the restaurant was AMAZING, lots of interesting menu options for the adventurous diner. The breakfast was original and delicious. From the outside, the rooms reminded us of a motel from one of those American road movies. Inside they were nicely decorated, with a roll top bath, comfortable bed and access to private (ish) outside space. We both had massages with Ruth, who clearly knew what she was doing. Just as good as the Babington Cowshed massages. Just a shame the spa area couldn't be a bit bigger so we could have massages at the same time. it was a fun experience, and had something unique about it.

We recently stayed at The Gallivant to celebrate my birthday and opted for the 30 Under 30 package, which offers incredible value for money. Our stay included the full Gallivant experience—dinner, wine, an evening tipple, breakfast, and even a morning yoga class. From start to finish, it was nothing short of exceptional. As it was a special occasion, we were delighted to find that our room had been upgraded to a beautiful garden room with its own private outdoor space. The room was stunning, and the bed was one of the comfiest I’ve ever slept in. A lovely gesture from the team. The little touches really made our stay memorable. Happy hour on oysters was such a treat, the cocktails were spectacular, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet luxurious. Honestly, there are no cons to mention. The Gallivant absolutely deserves all the recognition it’s received. We left feeling completely refreshed and can’t wait to return. I am gutted that I have left it this long to write my review as I’ve forgotten the staff names - but from the minute we checked in to departure we were so well looked after.

Nice hotel but very disappointing choice of expensive food. Only 4 main courses, including one vegetarian which contained an unhealthy cream sauce. The only roast on a Sunday was quail. I had cod and chips (no peas) for £22.00! Not good enough for the event we were planning.
