The Gallivant

Beach hotel over the road from Camber Sands, bar and terrace included

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A relaxed coastal hotel on New Lydd Road with the dunes of Camber Sands across the road and Rye about ten minutes' drive away. Rooms are in soft coastal colours, some with semi-private decks, and the restaurant, Harry's, cooks local fish and salt marsh meat. It suits a beach weekend where the dog wants sand every morning. The hotel has its own resident Norfolk terrier, Brock.

Why it's in the collection

Camber Sands is right across the road, and its western and eastern ends stay open to dogs all summer while the central stretch is dog-free from 1 May to 30 September. Rye's cobbled lanes are about three miles away.

Dogs are welcome in the Sitting Room, the Bar, the Terrace and the coastal gardens. They aren't allowed in Harry's restaurant, or at a dining table in the Bar while dinner is being served. There are a few dog-friendly rooms, so request one when you book.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
