Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

10/10 Excellent
"This is a tale of two halves… We had booked for a deluxe family suite, that had been modernised and had two separate rooms. Unfortunately we arrived to find that our room was unavailable, due to a leak (awful Scottish weather) and they offered us either a deluxe family room (two doubles) or two adjoining rooms in the dated part of the hotel (the forest wing), which we opted for. Although it hadn’t seen a lick of paint or new furniture in decades, it was exceptionally clean and had everything we required. The rest of the hotel had lots a modernising throughout and was staffed with a team that genuinely cared about their customers experience and getting it right for them. The food within the restaurant (we dined on a Sunday evening), was both delicious and of a high quality. We made use of the pool whilst there also, which was heated, followed by games provided in the games room and a game of pool (no additional cost."

"When we arrived at the hotel it didn't look anything special from the outside. On entering into the small reception we received a very warm welcome and given some local information. We were directed to our room which was very spacious, clean and a nice outlook . The bed was very comfortable although I found the room warm but my husband slept right through the night, which is unusual for him. We opted to have dinner in the hotel and although a bit pricy we were very happy with what we ordered. A very pleasant stay and I would definitely return"
