Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed for one night in a twin room with my 6 year old son. The room was spacious and comfortable, the staff were very friendly and helpful checking us in. We used the pool which he loved. Breakfast was tasty with a wide choice. Before checking out we had a small walk round the grounds where he was able to run around and explore. We both enjoyed it and hopefully we will get a chance to return soon."

"The hotel is very nice, with lovely rooms and beautiful surroundings. The staff went above and beyond to be helpful, although they often had to juggle multiple roles at once, which sometimes made them difficult to find.
