Property details
- Timeless sophistication: Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course, a magnificent 18th-century country mansion set on over 150 acres of picturesque grounds, is a step back to a time of period style, plus all the comforts you'd expect from a modern hotel. Swan through the oak doors, to a timelessly grand surrounds, from impassive marble pillars to the magnificent gilt cupola ceiling of the Bow Lounge. Enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Scotland from an effortlessly majestic abode.
- Swing, spa & play: The grounds of your hotel are home to an exclusive 18-hole golf course, offering a lovely secluded spot for a round or two, with dramatic castle views along the way. If golf’s not your thing, the hotel boasts an excellent indoor leisure complex, where you can take a dip in the indoor swimming pool, enjoy sauna sessions or work up a sweat at the fitness centre. If you fancy something more low-key, you’ll also find a snooker and pool table.
- Upscale dining: The dining room is the place to enjoy Scotland’s seasonal specialties of game, fish and more, always prepared with the freshest and finest ingredients. Work up an appetite all day before heading down for a delicious dinner, or else get things started earlier with a luxurious and decadent afternoon tea served in Bow Lounge (fees apply). There’s also a cocktail bar for pre or post-dinner tipples, and the sunny Conservatory is a lovely spot to relax with a refreshment any time of the day.
How to Get There
The nearest major train station is Dumfries Railway Station. From here, the hotel is just under an hour away by car or taxi. The hotel is just under two hour’s drive from Glasgow Prestwick Airport. We'd recommend hiring a car if you wish to explore the beautiful area, as the hotel is in a rural location. If driving from the south, take the M6 motorway into Scotland before following signs for the A75 road towards Dumfries and onward towards Gatehouse of Fleet.

For a day out on the water, the Galloway Activity Centre is a great idea, where you can enjoy activities like kayaking and paddleboarding. It’s well worth exploring the wider region, which includes the unspoilt landscapes and dramatic dark skies of Galloway Forest Park.
