The Gallivant Hotel

At the weekend we headed down to the East Sussex coast to soak up some winter sun. After a mooch around Hastings Old Town, we headed to Camber sands and to the Gallivant Hotel, an unassuming building from the outside - in fact so unassuming, we drove straight past it! But step inside and it envelopes you in a warmth, inspired by Scandinavian design.


The cosy snug invites you to curl up and hang out for a few hours, perusing the selection of beach-inspired coffee table books on offer whilst sipping a cocktail. 


The main guest area has been divided into zones and there are many areas to sit and relax. You can then step from your cosy seat in the lounge area, to the warm environment of the restaurant where they serve a delicious selection of locally sourced dishes.


The bedrooms have been beautify designed with not too much pretention, but a lot of attention to detail. I loved the window seat with its navy and orange colour combo and big soft cushions to sink into.


The bed was so comfortable!


Breakfast was served in the airy main restaurant, with a selection of cereals and fruit etc on offer as well as cooked options.


I loved the addition of framed vintage swimwear that decorated the walls of the restaurant as well as the bedrooms and the public bathrooms.


I especially liked these funky high-waisted trunks!


After a hearty breakfast, we trotted across the road and though the sand dunes to go for a wonderfully bracing walk along the windswept beach of Camber Sands. Heaven!
