Cally Palace Hotel, set in a beautiful landscape, is often praised for its spacious rooms, some located in the Forest wing with balconies overlooking the grounds. Guests appreciate the large, comfortable beds and the availability of leisure facilities like the swimming pool, jacuzzi, and sauna, plus snooker. Many find the half-board rates to be good value, though some have found the restaurant uncomfortably warm and that air conditioning is needed.
