"Located inside boutique hotel The Gallivant, Harry’s bears all the same hallmarks of discrete seaside elegance. Think comfortable rattan armchairs, tables covered with fine linen and exotic plants giving a greenhouse vibe; guided by a charming team, you will instantly feel at ease here. The cooking is classically French through and through, from traditional terrine to rabbit with mustard sauce via beef Bourguignon – all underpinned by strong produce and textbook technique from an experienced chef." - Michelin Inspector

The Gallivant (Rye, East Sussex) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Beachy chic is a vibe that’s somewhat rare in England, but at the Gallivant, in the East Sussex seaside town of Camber, it’s in plentiful supply. The Gallivant is now a remarkably swanky boutique hotel, complete with a spare cabin that houses a small Bamford spa. And while it’s inspired by an idealized vision of the Hamptons, its interpretation is a unique one, studiously avoiding transatlantic clichés in favor of a look that’s roughly equal parts casual surf shack and stylish country inn." - Tablet Hotels

My son held his wedding at this hotel and it was truly wonderful. We stayed 2 nights and the rooms were perfect - comfortable beds, a lovely door on to a patio and the hotel garden; the bathroom was also perfect (very rare in my experience) - fabulous shampoo, showergel and lotion - a place to hang towels and an excellent shower tho being a short person I would like a lower shower head as well as the top one. The breakfast was incredible and plentiful. All the staff were fantastic and welcoming throughout our whole stay - esp Lindsay and Agnes (who I had a lot to do with sorting a few things out for the wedding) - so calm and helpful and supportive. The food was delicious and the service incredible. I love the games provided and the seating in the lounge/bar area is so comfortable. Plus the thoughtful provision of foot wear and blankets etc for the dunes opposite. All in all a wonderful experience - and for a perfect wedding.

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Gallivant!

The themes of "cake time" and "wine at five" really encourage you to relax in the main bar area and are a fantastic opportunity to sample local English wine. ||The evening meal at Harry's was delicious, Sophie was so friendly and attentive. To top it all off, I enjoyed a very relaxing morning yoga session with India and a ginger shot to start my day, the perfect 24 hours! ||The Gallivant really is special, whether you're sitting by the fire hiding from the rain or returning after a long walk on the beach it is full of cosiness.

We visited Harry’s at The Grenville and was looked after by Oscar. I just had to go out of my way to write a review;what fabulous service we received. Oscar is so professional, understands his customer and is a credit to the Gallivant. I have visited many 5 star hotels around the world and Oscar will stand out for his impeccable service. We left to go home feeling relaxed, appreciated, valued and relaxed. Thank you Oscar for making our visit so memorable.

We had a wonderful time with you this week. We were so touched by the upgrade to our room to help us celebrate our 25 years being married. We absolutely loved the room. The bedding was divine and really appreciated the decor. We loved the wine at 5pm and it was a nice opportunity to try English wine. We enjoyed the snug area and cosy atmosphere of the bar. We are enthusiastic board game players and it was great to have so many options and some which definitely had a touch of nostalgia. The evening meal was delicious - the bar service was excellent and so personal. The only slight issue was that we had already finished our starters by the time our wine arrived! The breakfast was delicious - and loved every aspect of it. We enjoyed the yoga - although it was definitely challenging! Nikita gave us such a warm and lovely welcome. Our only disappointment was that we hadn’t booked a 2 night stay!

Lindsay is amazing! The whole team were so friendly and welcoming during our stay. Our room was perfect. We booked Gallivant to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary and so the postcard in our room was an added special touch. We thought it was lovely that they had all the necessities for the beach available to the guests - sun hat /beach mat /towels/umbrella etc. The only one thing which we would’ve liked is a fridge in our room to put our Champagne in ☺️ Other than that we had an amazing short stay. We have already recommended The Gallivant to our friends . Nikki H.

Our wedding at The Gallivant was unforgettable. Agnes, Victoria, Lindsay, Oscar, Naketa, Lorena, Matthew, Mariana, Fergus, and the whole team were warm, attentive, and made everything run seamlessly on the day. The venue was beautiful, the service flawless, and the food outstanding - many guests said it was the best wedding meal they’d ever had, with plentiful canapés and perfect timing around speeches. We’re so grateful to everyone for giving us the most incredible day.

I really wanted to give this five stars. The vibe is amazing, the decor imaginative and there are lots of nice touches to make your seaside stay fun. If you are a townie having a weekend at the seaside, everything is laid on so you don’t have to bring the things you probably don’t have. The food menu was a bit limited but very well prepared and totally delicious. The service started well and to be fair ended well but in between … well there wasn’t any. If you are paying £75 plus a head for a simple evening meal I would expect the staff to be checking in on me, offering a drink top up or more this and that. But no, we were left alone and my desire for more wine was unrequited. So, marked down big time on that. Such a pity, everything else was so good.

Absolutely loved this little bed and breakfast! The rooms were clean and cozy. I enjoyed the staff. The included breakfast was delicious! I really liked that they had games and books to use in the lobby for a rainy day. It was also helpful that they had beach gear to borrow so that you can pack light! Really loved the yoga on the beach.

The restaurant proper was closed when I arrived at 5pm but the marquee was open. For essentially a self-serve bbq at the motorway, prices were rather high. The place is very close to the beac but behind the dunes and the road so don't expect any views.

Close to the dunes of Camber Sands, The Place at the beach is a bit off the beaten track but well worth a visit if you are in the area. I took my wife here for her birthday. The food was excellent, I thoroughly recommend the local salt marsh lamb and the fish looked superb. There's a fixed price lunch menu during the week and specials according to stock at the local suppliers. Sunday roasts are a given. Read the reviews on the walls as you make your way to the restrooms. There are rooms if you want to stay and deals on dinner, B&B packages.

Quite a nice restaurant, I'd say the prices are a little steep for what you get. The drinks were not cheap either. Very enjoyable outside seating though. Would probably stay in the hotel again but would opt out on the food.

We had the best time here. I think the previous reviews here don't quite appreciate that this is essentially a high-end hotel with excellent food that regularly hosts evenings with top chefs. Anyway, we had booked the Dog Lovers Escape: off-season two nights for two people including dogs (beds, toys and bowls were provided) for £250 included an amazing three-course meal, all breakfasts as well as afternoon teas and cake. We thought given the quality of the service, the local and fantastic food (fresh fish and even local wines), the huge room, the bath products and the lounge and dining area with fireplace, games, and lots of cozy sheepskins this was pretty good value for money. The Gallivant also has a self-service larder with cheeky things like marshmallows and old fashioned sweets. A lovely touch. And it is right across from the beach. Given there are dunes there is no direct sea view, but the dunes make the charm of Camber. This beach is not without reason compared to the Hamptons in the US, and it's the dunes that allow for idyllic picnic spots or to watch the sunset. It's the most wonderful beach for humans and dogs, and nearby Rye is a great spot for a bit of vintage shopping and some more food. We'll definitely book another stay soon.
