What guests loved the most

“Room was beautiful, clean, spacious & very comfortable. Attention to detail was great..we loved our stay and will be back with family next time. The service was faultless & the restaurant one of the best meals we have had in a long time. We enjoy good food & wine and living in London we have a lot of choice, yet we would still choose to go back to the Gallivant for dinner over many of our favourite city haunts.”

“The room was very comfortable and well equipped, loved the honesty larder. The lounge was very cosy and the double sided fire was most welcoming due to the cold weather. Staff were very attentive and friendly. We had a meal and breakfast which were both amazing-the granola bars were a real hit!!”

“The breakfast facilities and times available uptil 10 am.”

The staff were all very welcoming and friendly, making an important contribution to our overall enjoyment.”

“The room and garden it looked out onto were lovely and we slept so well in the comfy bed. There are lots of little extras that make this place feel like a treat. The beach opposite is impressive and we liked being so close to Rye to be able to explore.”

“Comfy bed, nice rooms, good location to the beach.”

, United Kingdom

“Rooms were well decorated and all the facilities you could wish for were there. Nice garden area which had deck chairs in. Also a large terrace area next to the restaurant where you can have alfresco drinks and food. Restaurant - dinner and breakfast were fabulous. Hot breakfast option is extra but the buffet was very good indeed. Lovely touch - flip flops and wellies were available for use. Luckily we used the flip flops as the beach was only a few minutes away.”
