Sad and dated. Bed was solid… seriously. I’d have been better on the floor. 3 members of staff took 10 mins to find someone to check me in.

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.

A really nice place, friendly and helpful staff and a generous size room. The hotel could do with a bit of TLC in places, but overall value for money and enjoyed the short stay.

Tired / overpriced
Unwelcoming reception staff. Very tired hotel. Our room key had the number hand written on a piece of paper sellotaped to the fob. Good room size. Room tea and coffee items basic quality. Dinner and breakfast food quality okay. Meal service staff friendly.
Overpriced.

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.
