Nice, old fashioned hotel, with beautiful dining and tea rooms, lying in the middle of splendid trees and green fields (mostly part of the golf course). Bedroom is lacking a bit on the soundproof, but for the rest nothing to complain about. Excellent breakfast and diner.

We had a fantastic stay at The Cally Palace Hotel. I visited with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson — the boys enjoyed a round of golf while we girls headed to the Arts and Crafts Festival in Kirkcudbright. The hotel is full of charm, with beautiful surroundings, comfortable rooms, and very friendly staff. The food was excellent, and the whole atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!

Grand old place we will stay again

Cally is a grand old place which we enjoyed staying at, in a lovely setting. It is tired in places but homely and we will stay again. The dining room needs windows that can be opened as even at breakfast it is a bit airless and hot. The beds are comfortable and the bar and dining staff are attentive.
