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.

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.

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.

Disappointed with buffet breakfast as one morning it took over 10 minutes for the bacon platter to be replenished and another day only 3 small croissants left - both these occasions happened before 9 am.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
A lovely and luxurious hotel in need of updating in some respects. Our room was a little odd - enormous but with a low ceiling and small windows for the size of room which made it rather dark. It is also rather dated and the furnishings are showing their age a little, but still very comfortable. We ate at the hotel on one evening and none of the items we ordered (both mains and wine) was available although on the menu. Porridge was a strange omission from breakfast for a Scottish hotel.

Food, service ok. Room needs upgrade. Door closing mechanism requires maintenance, along with fire doors. Noise of doors closing in middle of night not acceptable!!!!
