1 / 8Cally Palace Hotel and Golf Course
Gatehouse of Fleet, Dumfries and Galloway
Yes. Dogs can stay in most rooms.
An 18th century country mansion in over 150 acres near Gatehouse of Fleet, with hundreds of acres of dog-walking grounds and woodland around it.
Cally Palace is an elegant 18th-century country mansion set within over 150 acres on the outskirts of Gatehouse of Fleet, overlooking the Dumfries & Galloway countryside on Scotland's Solway Coast, with its own 18-hole golf course. Two huge marble pillars frame the entrance hall, and around the house lie hundreds of acres of dog-walking grounds and woodland, so at this dog friendly hotel the walking is on the doorstep.
Most of the 56 bedrooms take well behaved dogs, though pets aren't permitted in the Deluxe rooms, and the hotel asks you to discuss your dog when you book. Dogs aren't to be left unaccompanied in the bedrooms, in case they bark or cause damage. Cally Palace doesn't state a limit on dogs, so mention how many you're bringing when you talk the booking through. Of the rooms, 31 are in the mansion house and 25 in the more modern Forest Wing, where the south-facing balcony rooms look across the gardens to the 18th green.
Dogs aren't permitted in the lounges or dining areas, for the convenience of other guests, so the Bow Lounge with its gilt cupola ceiling and The Dining Room are for you alone. The Dining Room serves dinner to residents and non-residents alike.
Guests have free use of the leisure facilities: a 15m heated pool, a spa bath, saunas and a multi-gym, plus snooker, pool and table tennis. From the golf course there are views of Cardoness Castle, Rutherford's Monument and the Fleet Estuary. With your dog, Carstramon Wood and Round the Water from Gatehouse of Fleet is 0.8 miles away on Wildpack, and Wildpack lists Mossyard Beach, 3.6 miles from the hotel, as its nearest dog friendly beach.
