Top Rockcliffe Beach Hotel Reviews

Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed here mainly because of the price. For the couple of days I was staying here it was reasonably affordable. But also for nostalgic reasons. As someone who grew up in Gatehouse, we used to use the Cally for the swimming pool and would walk around the Cally grounds and gardens. It was nice to see that it still has the same feel it to it and even though there are updates, it still has preserved that old stately home feel with the furniture. The bedroom was hugely spacious. The bed was bigger than expected and very comfortable. Definitely what I needed each night after a day of exploring the area. There are two separate en suites in the room I was in a shower, toilet and sink in one and bath and sink in the other. With the latter there is a clothes line which did come in handy. The staff on reception were lovely and incredibly accommodating. Happy to provide information around the area but also the hotel. I did have an issue with something in my room and it was fixed straight away. The room was clean. With an excellent view of the lake around the golf course. The wardrobe also provides dressing gowns which was a lovely addition."

The Ship Inn

The Ship Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Parking was in the street outside the hotel and not a problem. The room was large and spacious and the bathroom was spacious with a great overhead shower. The bar was very large and plenty of room in the restaurant. Best to book a table as it gets busy with locals. The staff were very helpful, attentive and the menu had a good selection and the food was very great. Can recommend the fish and chips or the Sea bass. The breakfast was in the restaurant and cooked to order with plenty to choose from. The Ship Inn has a beer gardens just across the road with views over the river. It’s also a short walk to the town/village and the old Mill is well worth visiting as it has a good history of the town and a nice cafe. I would also recommend driving towards the small war memorial and then taking the road sign posted to a parking area with amazing views across the area. Although the stay was a bit pricy I would have no problem staying again if in the area."
