Great location, with access to the beach just across the road. The rooms are overpriced, however having direct outside access was great with taking our dog out. It feels like a done up old motel. The beach chic in some areas felt like an apology for the little table not being sturdy but wobbly. The window handles and mix-batteries on... More

My girlfriend and I spend a night at The Gullivant and had a lovely time. We stayed in the Beach Hut Room which was stylish and very comfortable. The restaurant / bar area is also tastefully done. The hotel is a short stroll from the beach and, all in all, it was an excellent experience and I would certainly recommend... More

We stayed here in May as friends had taken over the hotel for a wedding. The ceremony was in Rye but we returned to the Gallivant afterwards. They served pimms and beer on the beach with canapes, and whilst the wind did it's best to blow us away it was a lovely touch and made for some great photos..!!!! We... More

We had a great two-night stay in the Gallivant's beach hut room. Friendly and helpful staff, a lovely room and some delicious food (in particular the bountiful breakfast) Would love to come back again.

A great concept - boutique hotel with every comfort you could wish for yet with a simple beach hotel feel - wonderful touches such as home-made cookies in the room, robes and White Company toiletries..... The bed (Hypnos) was utterly divine - we booked the Beach Hut room but actually moved down a little to another deluxe, suite room (the... More

Great stay, loved the little touches such as fresh cookies in the bedroom. Food at both dinner and breakfast was very high quality. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms a good size and the overall beach/shabby chic theme was lovely and suited the location. Would highly recommend hotel.

We booked the beachcomber escape, two nights with breakfast and one evening meal. We wanted the Beach hut room but this was unavailable for both nights so Heather, on reception, offered us the beach hut room for one night and a deluxe double for the second. This was very accommodating and indicates the efforts the Galavant Hotel will make to... More

We found a great deal for two nights B&B inc an evening meal in their brilliant beach bistro on the first night - it was all really, really lovely! The room was a good size, an amazingly huge bed (thank goodness, as our recently rescued greyhound didn't think the lovely doggy bed they had provided was anywhere near big or... More

We booked the dog lovers break for my birthday and had the most wonderful stay in this beautiful hotel. The location was perfect with a dog friendly stunning beach on the doorstep, and we were very lucky with the weather so managed a few trips to the beach with the dog. Rye was also only a short drive away, so... More

We got married at the Gallivant in April 2013 and the day was just brilliant. You can hire the hotel out for exclusive use so you and your guests have complete run of the 18 room hotel. The Gallivant already has the shabby chic decor (think white washed tables and driftwood) that we love so planning a wedding here required... More
