Rooms were clean, bed was comfortable, breakfast was very tasty and it is very close to the old course. There was a slight miscommunication about our room, but staff was extremely helpful and was able to help us sort it out immediately.

This place was right around the corner from the golf courses at St. Andrews. Breakfast service was great! We stayed in room 5 and the shower was the biggest and best we’ve had all week while traveling Scotland.

We stayed in the cottage just out the back. It was on the warmer side during our stay and so we had the windows open. The only downside is you feel somewhat vulnerable with the windows open being on the ground floor but the area is obviously very safe. Location was perfect. It was self check-in so no staff interaction until breakfast - she was lovely and very welcoming. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location. Grand room, liked the bathtub. Nice touches in room, coffees and waters. Breakfast great. Staff friendly and amenable. Room in need of a few minor repairs cosmetically. No parking but road ‘Scores’ behind property is all free parking so no issues. Overall, great value for money and would definitely recommend to anyone

Fantastic location and easy contactless check in! Great communication with staff via messaging. Our charming room was on the top floor (3 flights of stairs). The only issue was the dormer windows didn’t enable a ton of fresh air in and the room was warm, but the fan in the room helped. Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was very nice and well appointed. Suzanne, our host for breakfast, was absolutely lovely and went above & beyond to take care of everyone in the dining room!! Fiona prepared a great breakfast and amazing baked goods as welcome snacks in the living room. I enjoyed getting to know all the other hotel guests over breakfast! Would definitely stay here again. Just wished they had air conditioning. Note for US travelers with cars….the parking app in Scotland does NOT work on US phones! You need to bring coins or call the phone number & pay over the phone, which takes time.
