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.

Not our first stay at Cally Palace. We like the area. The hotel is set back in private grounds but within easy reach of the A75. The rooms are always comfortable and clean. The staff are helpful and friendly. There is a pool, hot tub and sauna which we made use of. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel which we fully enjoyed. After a stay at Cally Palace we always enjoy our time and leave feeling relaxed. Looking forward to returning soon.
