Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

Great location. Very nice staff. Room older in style but had everything that was needed. Great value for money

On getting to our room we found someone was already in there, so had to take some extra time returning to Reception only to find our room had been accidentally given away. This was fairly easily amended, with us being given a different room instead but without a balcony. We could’ve done without spending the time sorting this out especially lugging our bags and children around in the process. However, the staff were very courteous, with one lady especially being extremely helpful and making our children feel very welcome. The leisure facilities were excellent, and the breakfast fantastic.

Scenic, accommodating pets, homely feel, good views from room. Good downstairs rooms with National Trust like decor. Swimming pool & jacuzzi fab. Downside guest rooms dated but very comfortable beds. Needed a little dust. But didn’t spoil our stay. Would stay again.

I stayed here mainly because of the price. For the couple of days I was staying here it was reasonably affordable. But also for nostalgic reasons. As someone who grew up in Gatehouse, we used to use the Cally for the swimming pool and would walk around the Cally grounds and gardens. It was nice to see that it still has the same feel it to it and even though there are updates, it still has preserved that old stately home feel with the furniture. The bedroom was hugely spacious. The bed was bigger than expected and very comfortable. Definitely what I needed each night after a day of exploring the area. There are two separate en suites in the room I was in a shower, toilet and sink in one and bath and sink in the other. With the latter there is a clothes line which did come in handy. The staff on reception were lovely and incredibly accommodating. Happy to provide information around the area but also the hotel. I did have an issue with something in my room and it was fixed straight away. The room was clean. With an excellent view of the lake around the golf course. The wardrobe also provides dressing gowns which was a lovely addition.
