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!

Twixmas Treat

A great place to stay. Check in was delightful, room was warm and cozy, hot shower and comfy bed. We ate dinner in the main restaurant, the food was outstanding. Great flavours and presentation. Whisky, scrabble and a roaring fire in the bar afterwards. Breakfast was good and a quick visit to the hens before departing.

Lovely hotel in as beautiful setting

Beautiful lhotel set in lovely grounds, room was very spacious clean and comfortable, only negative is that on a very hot day, there is no air-con, although we arrived to the room with windows open and although it was warm in the room overnight, it wasn’t unbearable.
Lynne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Enjoyed a quiet, relaxing couple of nights, in a traditional setting with a positive ambience. Staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful, even providing items we had forgotten to pack. Service at breakfast was particularly slow the first morning, but better on the second.

Treated Like Royalty

This charming hotel features beautiful decor and artwork, lovely grounds, good food, and ambiance. It has it all. We waited to check in behind another guest. My partner noted, "He's really getting the royal treatment." I thought he looked like an earl, my husband thought he was a duke. But then WE got the same royal treatment. And we got the same treatment from every staff member we encountered.
