We chose the Cally for a relaxing weekend away after our usual hotel in Dumfries and Galloway was fully booked. The hotel looks lovely from the outside and the reception and public areas were very welcoming, however our 'Deluxe' bedroom left a bit to be desired. We had 2 single beds joined together to make one bed, a bathroom with... more

Spent 2 nights here in August on a golf break with friends. There were 14 of us in our party. Grounds and golf course were quite impressive although the greens had just been tinned and were a bit bumpy. For a 4 star hotel the whole experience was very disappointing. How they managed to win a medal for “Hospitality Excellence... more

We stayed a Sunday evening in sunny July. Our arrival was greeted with a friendly receptionist. We had a very large room overlooking the gardens which was very clean. Dinner was not intrusive, we had the piano playing in the background and the evening was finished in the lounge. Overall staff were professional every time we past them, greeting us... more

This is a Hotel that obviously understands the meaning and value of hospitality in it's truest sense. On our arrival in the oppulent reception area we recieved the warmest of welcomes before bieng shown to our room which was beautifully appointed and full of natural day light due to the massive bay windows, Lovley bathroom also! A short stroll around... more

Having travelled through heavy traffic for 3 hours it was a huge relief when we finally arrived at the 'Cally Palace Hotel'. The entrance with the reception was beautiful - at the top of the stairs were 2 hugh pillars which filled the room with an oldish feeling !! The receptionist were very helpful and smiled constantly which is exactly... more

Spent one night in late September in order to break our journey to the ferry at Stranraer. Grounds and architecture were impressive, however the decor was tired, rather like the other guests. We were the youngest there by a long stretch (my husband is in his mid-forties!). Staff were helpful and courteous but lacked considerable professionalism. Our room was spacious... more

From the moment of entering the picturesque grounds to the moment of departure one can only marvel at the overall experience. The efficiency at reception was supported by the manager who carried some of our bags to the room. The room was spacious, luxurious and clean. The view from the room overlooking the first tee of the golf course was... more

I spent a wonderful weekend at this hotel and although the weather was cold the staff certainly weren't. The standard of service was superb and nothing was too much trouble. The addition of the gym is great news and we enjoyed making full use of the facilities. Unlike other reviewers I found the bedrooms up to a four star standard... more

Having just stayed at the Cally Palace for two days we were most disappointed that this Hotel does NOT rate its four star status, the hotel is very dated and old, the furnishings are well past their sell by date and the rooms are very shabby ,friends of ours also stayed at the same time as us and their curtains... more
