To sum it up, if you prefer the finer things in life then this is the place for you. Every employee overflows with customers service, I was hand delivered a flat white coffee to my room by whom I believe to have been the Manager.

A wonderfully comfortable hotel with a team of staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Lovely to sit around the fireplace and relax for our anniversary treat and the luxury garden room was super comfortable.

The Gallivant provided much needed solitude in the most stylish way, with every last detail careful attended to from towels and totes for the beach to afternoon tea service to the lusciously comfortable bedding. We made the easy walk across the street to the incredible stretch of beach, lazed for a bit in the lounge playing games and enjoyed a good cocktail with a delicious meal in the restaurant. We’ll be coming back for sure!

It's a delightful bolthole, moments from Camber Sands - literally across the road
5.0 / 10.0
We had a lovely 2-night break here. Really homely, and a great place to get away from it all. The food was excellent, the lounge and restaurant were very Christmassy and a joy to hang out in. Our room was quite small but had a super comfy bed and nice decor.
The hotel is very dog friendly and the beach is just over the road, great for big long walks. Could do with some dog waste bins around the property outside though.
The staff go above and beyond and are super friendly. We loved the free elevenses and glass of wine at 5. Such nice touches!
We had an issue with our room with a noisy ice machine outside meaning we got no sleep on our second night. Repeatedly told it was not faulty and it took a couple of conversations with different staff to get it resolved. Initially, we were offered a free bottle of wine but in the end, agreed to 50% room cost reimbursement. In hindsight, this should have been more considering on check out we were utterly exhausted after a long night of continuously disrupted sleep. The rooms are not cheap so this was a disappointing end to our stay.
Overall I would recommend this hotel but make sure you have a room far away from the Kitchen / Outdoor dining area!

Relaxing stay at a gorgeous hotel - more like staying with friends. Beautiful, cosy rooms, great food and drink, attentive service. As my husband put it 'classy but not pretentious'. Can't wait to go back.

The Gallivant is such a gem - we couldn’t feel luckier to have stayed in such a gorgeous place. We brought our little dog, who was made to feel so welcome from the start, and enjoyed roaming around the little garden attached to the room. The room itself was beautiful and we appreciated the characterful nature and cloud-like bed. The staff were incredibly friendly and warm, and the whole experience was made all the most fantastic thanks to them and the little touches of hospitality. The food is also very good, and you can feel the care and attention which has gone into it. Great wine list too with plenty of delicious local wines. I am a coeliac and they also catered to this very well. Can’t recommend enough if you’re looking for a special getaway in a romantic setting, steps from the beach. Thank you for a lovely stay, we will definitely be back.

This is a really comfortable, gentle, calm place. You get the feeling of calm and rest as you enter the reception, warm and inviting with its log fire. The rooms are very comfortable, modern, attractive beach themes. We were given an upgrade so added luxury!

We had a very relaxing break at the Gallivant. The staff are very helpful - the couldn't do enough for us. We loved the laid-back, 'Hamptons' vibe of the room decor.
3.0 / 10.0
Food excellent - bed uncomfortable - room a bit poky
4.0 / 10.0
Excellent hotel/restaurant to stay at for easy access (across the sand dune) to Camber Sands beach and Rye town.
Lovely chilled vibe with very friendly, helpful staff.
Food is delicious if not a little over priced, however would fully recommend this place for a one night stay as we did.

Very relaxing. If you want to ‘stop the world and get off’ this is the place!

An hugely unexpected oasis in an otherwise rather bleak area.Lovely rooms, great service and a tidy, upmarket spot with an excellent kitchen.

The location is lovely and there are no kids so a very peaceful environment
6.0 / 10.0
It’s not at the cheap end of the scale so I felt the following issues shouldn’t have occurred:
Our room was ridiculously hot on arrival so we turned the wall heater off. Hours later when trying to sleep, the room was still too warm to sleep comfortably and as it was a garden room, there were only french doors and no windows to open.
I’m allergic to feathers and stupidly assumed that the hotel would provide alternatives (as do most others I’ve stayed in). Only 1 pillow could be found by the evening staff and 1 ‘pregnancy’ pillow which he had stuffed into a pillow case so was so fat it was unusable.
On checkout, we were asked to pay for the room which was prepaid, and items that we hadn’t consumed had been added to our restaurant bill. This was all amended but could have been avoided if someone had done their job properly in the first place.
I know other reviews have praised the staff at The Gallivant, and those we encountered couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful and were the best thing about our stay.
If prices were lowered, expectations might not be so high.

Staff are brilliant & always go the extra mile. The welcome on arrival was very warm & being treated to tea & cake was a very nice touch. Extra Brownie points because they let residents dogs in everywhere. Why are most other hotels & restaurants so paranoid about this idea? Would be 5 stars in all areas given a little bit of attention to detail, like, our room door handle very loose & almost impossible to lock or open, ceiling light bulb blown, lighting in bathroom too dim & water connected incorrectly to basin, cold supply goes on right not left, also the extractor fan was not working and there was no ventilation in the bedroom other than leaving the ground floor french doors open throughout the night and lighting inadequate to read menu in centre of restaurant. That said the food was superb though the wine list prices came from another planet.These are small items that would make this place 100% once attended to.

We felt very welcome at the Gallivant, and found it really was dog friendly. The food was excellent; our only quibble was the unsuitability of the bread provided for toast & how long the toaster took to toast! The location opposite the dog friendly beach is very good, be nice to have a zebra crossing there but thats no criticism of the hotel. We liked the decor and the garden area added to our pleasure. Our room was a little small - ok for two or three nights but not for a long stay - but to have both bath & shower was good. We felt very relaxed here and will be back.

I found this hotel rather disappointing to say the least. I booked 2 rooms as we are a family of 4 and this hotel doesn't offer family or interconnecting rooms. The rooms were extremely small, decorated to a bare minimum and the bathrooms looked rather dated. The views from the rooms were nothing to write home about( looked into other houses).
The real disappointment was the food! The meals were bland and although the portions were good, the price didn't offer value or anything special.
This is not a family friendly hotel as they offered no kids meals and we were made to feel like a nuisance when we took our 10 and 3 year old to dinner. We bought half portions of the adult meals for our kids which were equally bland. In addition, although our room rate booked via Expedia included breakfast we were charged for each item of cooked breakfast. When I queried this with the staff, I was told they only included cold breakfast items in the room rate.
The final shocker was when one of the staff demanded rather rudely they needed their rooms at 12:30 although we had requested a late check out at 1pm.
On the bright side, it's a short walk from the nice sandy camber beach.
All in all, we had an unpleasant experience and I would not recommend this hotel, especially to families.

The recent reviews of the hotel were accurate. It has been refurbished to a high standard and has lots of personal touches which made our stay (2 nights) very relaxing.
5.0 / 10.0
Beautiful little hotel. Excellent food. Friendly staff. Well decorated room with a very nice bathroom. Walls are quite thin and although the beach is very, very close there is almost nothing else in walking distance (restaurants, cafés, galleries, pubs etc). But the hotel is great and perfect for those looking for a quiet trip.
4.0 / 10.0
Friendly, welcoming staff throughout.
Bright, clean, comfortable rooms with a modern seaside feel.
Great food in the restaurant, morning and evening.
They make a mean cocktail too - try the espresso martini after dinner!
Great location for the beach, Rye and Dungeness.
I would stay here again.
