All was wonderful until we discovered the coffees all decaf and there was no breakfast tea. But they did send some over after I had to request it. AND THEN in the morning the induction stove top didn’t work. At 6 am I went to the main house and the night clerk suggested the breaker needed to be reset. But the fuse box was locked! So the small kitchen was absolutely useless to us. Most disappointing

The hotel and grounds were beautiful. It’s a short cab trip to the Old Course and downtown. The bar and restaurant were very nice. Moreover, the staff were just wonderful. They couldn’t have been more welcoming. We highly, highly recommend this hotel.

We came in at 3.30pm and the room was not ready. We also had some trouble with a taxi which has almost resulted in us missing our flight. The receptionist seems to have forgotten to book our taxi which we had agreed upon the night before. Since we were leaving for the airport at 5am, there was little chance to find a cab in a small town like this. Luckily, the situation was salvaged by a night person. To finalize our experience, we got charged 92GBP for some imaginary drinks at the bar which we never had. Other than that, the hotel was cozy and cute.

We were only in St Andrews for one night, but the hotel was lovely. The staff was friendly, and the 2 rooms we had were perfect for a family of 5. Dinner in the bar was nice, and the breakfast options were fantastic. We will certainly be back on our next trip to Scotland!

We visited to attend a wedding. Although we were advised the room may not be ready for us before the ceremony, the hotel stated they would do their best to allow us entry. On arrival we were told fairly gruffly it wasn’t ready and would get in after the ceremony. We could use the public toilets if needed. The woman on main reception was not particularly friendly! Had been asked on our booking form if it was a special occasion for us, which it was, so filled that out with details. The unfriendly receptionist said “oh I believe it’s your anniversary” and that was it. So am unsure why the hotel had asked 😂. After the ceremony it took a while standing at main reception before I got the key as the staff were too busy. The grounds are lovely but some of the gardens further from the main house are a little untidy. Room comfortable and very clean, no concerns there. Breakfast was great and staff in the morning were absolutely lovely. It was not a cheap option to stay here and I’d hoped for a better welcome to be honest, was a bit off putting. The Sunday morning staff were much nicer!

Very nice resort-style hotel away from St. Andrews a bit. Easy access by taxi (not an Uber town). We had a car, but taxi made town and restaurant access easier. Hotel has lovely bar and dining facilities, but St. Andrews is easy to get to as well. We had a woodland suite, which are modern/new rooms a short walk from the main inn.
