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.
