United KingdomWe had wanted to take out cockerpoo Buzz on a beach holiday for ages and I was pleased when the Gallivant came up as a dog friendly hotel. There was an extra £25 for the dog but I think he liked it so it was justified. The interior was stylish, the bed was comfy and the restaurant food was top notch. the staff went out of their way to make you feel welcome and the whole experience was above expectations. we would definitely go back.
United KingdomEverything, we had such a wonderfully relaxing stay. Thank you for the amazing Valentine's chocolates left on everyone's door they were delish! Yoga was well getting up for. I can't want to come back, especially as there are some brilliant activities on offer. Thank you to all the staff in the team, absolutely lovely people.
