Our carpark is a modest size and for guests only so this would be subject to availability on the day, but we would do our upmost to find you space.  You are very welcome to come early and have lunch while we make up your room.

Our purpose at the Gallivant is ‘to restore people’s happiness and wellbeing’. We do this by creating a relaxing place for our guests to retreat to that is very calm and considered, with incredibly comfortable beds, exquisitely simple food, happy team members and inspirational experiences to connect with.  We decided some time ago that young people don’t always help with this philosophy so decided to welcome everyone over the age of 16.

We don’t have any family rooms. All our bedrooms have King or Super King beds and are strictly for 2 adults. The Baby Hampton and Large Hampton rooms have day beds which can be made up for one extra person but this must be confirmed and paid at the time of booking.
