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.

Very grand hotel in a lovey setting. Bedrooms are very clean but rather old fashioned. Dinner was lovely, I found the food a breakfast limited. Overall an enjoyable stay and would visit again if in the area

Could not be more accommodating

The hotel staff were exceptionally polite and helpful. My husband has a dietary condition and the chef and staff went above and beyond to make him food that he could enjoy even though it wasn’t on the menu. The hotel staff went out of their way to be pleasant and make this an extremely enjoyable stay. Barry in the restaurant went above and beyond. He is an exceptional member of staff.

Quiet and bucolic location

Our stay was in mid-March and the hotel was very quiet at that time. Our room on the ground floor was very convenient for the hotel pool which had a hot tub and sauna. The pool water was a bit too cold but the hot tub and sauna were very good. There are walking trails and a small lake nearby which is great for birdwatching. Also views of a ruined castle within walking distance. Restaurant food was nicely presented.

Good value stay at Dumfriesshire country house

We had a lovely stay at Cally Palace. Very close to Gatehouse of Fleet and near lots of great walks. The reception room and grounds were lovely - the bedroom and swimming pool area were a bit tired. The food in the restaurant was fantastic and staff were great. We got a great deal so good value for money.

Relaxing 1 night stay.

1 night stay as part of a longer holiday. Stayed previously at the Cally Palace and had a great stay. The room was well appointed in a quiet area of the hotel and was very comfortable with views towards the woods at the rear of the hotel. We had an evening meal which was very enjoyable, our table being close to an open log fire. The hotel is located 5 minutes from the A75 but is far enough away that there is no noise from passing traffic. The breakfast was good, there being plenty of choice and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will return for future visits.
