I wanted to tell you how much this wonderful stay at the Gallivant meant to me! It was just exactly what I needed– a balm on my soul; to take care of myself being surrounded in a such a lovely space with this "private hotel with number of rooms and a restaurant" along with the library and the roaring fireplace….just amazing.

The Gallivant crew, of course, made it possible by providing me with everything I needed– a lovely room with a much needed bathtub which I was so happy to soak in with my books after a long absence from bathtubs–to the great dining room service to answering my number of questions as well as providing me with beach experiences! I can't thank enough to Crystal (taking care of details such as door locks, taxi arrangement, Rye food recommendations), Elton and Paul (great attentive service at dinner!) Louisa for with the wine in the library, Hamish (for his service for the beach ideas) Anna (her cheerfulness at breakfast along with a hug when I left was just appreciated!) and Lindsey and Naketa for their emails (so excited when I was able to get a bathtub room) and they all were so kind and generous– your actions were not forgotten and it means so much to me.

It is because of the AMAZING service they provided that also made it a beautiful and peaceful stay at such a gorgeous hotel– I loved the design and it was so cozy and welcoming. The library was to die for. I loved the books in the bedroom- such a nice touch. And I was so grateful to have both Nextflix and Amazon Prime so I could catch up watching the shows as I don't have access to them while traveling. It is just a perfect place to hole up with your books, reflecting and just soaking in the environment….what a joy it is to have that!

Camber Sands is just so incredible, and I loved taking long walks along the sea and on my last day, I borrowed your blanket and sat in the sand dunes, in the sunlight, reading my book for four hours! Heavenly! This place is truly a balm and I am coming back!!!

Thank you so much again for the wonderful hospitality.

P.S. Can't I just live there or work for you!?

With warm regards,
Sarah Arana

What a special place The Gallivant is!
A very warm welcome and a synergy of calm and fantastic hospitality from every single member the team.
It’s an easy place to fall in love with, great food, lovely comfortable bedrooms and I’ll bag on about it again, the fantastic team.
The whole space is beautifully curated, comfortable seating areas, lots of board games, books and beautiful artwork all nestled around a wonderful fire that instantly warmed the heart and every tight knot that a busy life can create.
Just a night for us on this occasion, however we very much look forward to returning.
Did I mention how fantastic all of the team are?

Wow, what an incredible stay. We are so glad we went for the 30% off for under 30s package – it really blew us away and we felt like we got great value for money. Every detail of the hotel was so well thought through. We thoroughly enjoyed our wine and crisps at 5pm and the beautiful breakfast in the morning! Our breakfast server was so friendly.
Would highly recommend to friends and family.
