Breakfast super and dinner on Saturday night very enjoyable. Staff were excellent and made the stay even better. The bar, and the outside seating area very comfortable and we enjoyed our drinks in the sunshine. Golf course, although we didn’t play looked in extremely good condition. A great break away. Could have stayed longer.

Lovely warm welcome, beautiful building. Good facilities like a pool to keep my kids entertained. Had a drink on the night from the bar and relaxed in a beautiful room watching baby deer on the golf course. Woke up from a good night's sleep followed by a delicious breakfast in the hotel dining hall. We all loved it and will definitely be back on our next travels through Scotland.

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.

6/10 Good

We have mixed feelings about our stay at the Cally Palace. In its time it has obviously been a very impressive building in amazing surroundings. As with a lot of these historic buildings, the upkeep is a mammoth task and financial burden. The public rooms show the sense of history of the property, and create a relaxed environment. The bedrooms in the main building are roomy and in character with this period property, giving a sense of the grandeur of better times. We had our dog with staying with us, so access to some of the rooms (main dining room and lounge) wasn't possible, but we dined in the orangery adjacent to the bar and used the adjacent lounge. The grounds are beautiful, plenty of woodland and pathways around the golf course to explore. The leisure facilities are good too, with a small workout area, sauna, jacuzzi and pool. Special thanks to Aaron on reception who made our arrival, check-in and departure a friendly, helpful and smooth experience.

Having stayed at the Cally Palace Hotel and few times I've always had a pleasant overall experience. The hotel sits in a beautiful countryside location, ideal for a quiet and relaxing getaway. The rooms were comfortable and clean and everything was functional. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout my stay, which made a positive difference. One of the highlights was the food—both dinner and breakfast were enjoyable, with a variety of options aswell as having a relaxed and welcoming feeling. Overall, the Cally Palace Hotel is a great choice if you’re looking for a peaceful stay in a scenic setting. While it could benefit from some slight updates, the service, surroundings, and overall experience make it worth considering.

Very relaxed stay. We enjoyed the walks around the hotel and the leisure facilities were first class with a lovely pool. The room was huge and spotlessly clean overlooking the pitch and putt course. The dinner was first class. We had an excellent menu supporting local produce and food was beautiful. Service throughout our stay was excellent.
