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.

There is a stark contrast between the magnificent main entrance of the palace and the entrance of the hotel rooms on the left wing of the building.
This access looks very poor, it resembles instead the back door entrance of a laundry room, it should be certainly improved.

Generally very good, clean and tidy, but dated.
Food was great but service was a little hit and miss, had to ask for our table to be cleared or excess glasses/ cutlery/ empty wine bottles.

Great place for short break in Gatehouse
Beautiful building and grounds, staff professional and friendly. Was a very reasonable price for bed and breakfast however rooms and corridors are tired, but I expect there are rooms that cost more that had been refurbished. A property of this size and grandeur must cost a fortune to renovate.

Lovely setting, full of old-fashioned charm. Dinner was really disappointing - multiple dishes from the menu were not available, and our 3rd choice of sirloin steak was mediocre. Cheese platter was good with a generous helping. Bed was far too soft, no support at all, a really uncomfortable night. Breakfast was ok but nothing special.
