Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

8/10 Good
"Excellent staff, glorious location, fabulous grounds and views. Lovely lounges and bar. Super pool and facilities. Spacious bedroom, bathrooms and storage space. We did not use the restaurant. Cleaning and replenishment of refreshments and room service only if requested. Bathrooms Need some attention as there is significant mould in the bathroom and shower, and also there is considerable condensation in the bedroom windows, even though we opened them during the day. Overall a lovely holiday.,"

"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"

"Fabulous property - luxurious and well appointed, great hosts who were friendly and welcoming. The house is ideally situated in Wigtown so right by some lovely pubs, bookshops and nice areas for walking. We were a group of 6 adults and 4 young children (and a dog) and it perfectly suited our needs - plenty of space and ideal for a group get together. We can’t wait to return!"
