Please thank Nikita for all that she did to make us feel welcome last Sunday night and Monday. We finally arrived, late, after being stuck for a couple of hours in the snow up in Seddlescombe, followed by a somewhat hairy journey down to Rye. She greeted us with a warm welcome and a drink and squeezed us in for a last minute dinner, for which we were very grateful. When we were checking out, there was a little confusion about our disappeared breakfast bill, which was then waived with added generosity. We try to get to The Gallivant at least a couple of times a year. It is one of our very favourite places to be. The care and service we receive is always brilliant and this time was no exception. Thank you.

Another perfect stay at the Gallivant! You feel relaxed the second you walk through the door. Always delicious food, the comfiest beds and the most amazing staff ensure that you can not do anything other than sit back and relax Having the most beautiful beach a minute's stroll from the front door is the icing on the cake.
Special mentions to Dan who took great care of us during this our 4 th stay, Hamish who was charming, Lindsay who is always fab and of course Paul who is just an absolute legend! His enthusiasm and knowledge is second to none and he has time for everyone. Last but not least the chefs who consistently deliver the most delicious and adventurous food.

This was our first stay at the Gallivant and it was superb in every sense. The accommodation and food were excellent as expected and all of the staff were outstanding – very personable and all contributed to a relaxed atmosphere. We actually got engaged during the weekend and they went out of their way to make it a memorable experience for us. It would be unfair to single anybody out but we really enjoyed talking to Paul about the various wines being served. We will be back one day!
