We were allocated a studio room on the annex. We are in our 70s and had to walk up two very lengthy staircases to get to our room which was a converted loft room . We were first down for breakfast and I ordered the full breakfast and a number of items were reheated .I developed a stomach reacted next day .Won’t be going back!

A bit pricey but a nice stay

We booked last minute for St Andrews so this was one of the few properties left that had an opening. It was a little more expensive than I would have liked to pay, but the room was big and the bed was comfortable (albeit a bit on the small side for two people). We were in their other building across from the main hotel. There were a lot of stairs which was fine for us but could be an issue for others. The parking situation wasn’t ideal. There were apparently free spots somewhere but they were never open so we had to keep feeding the meter during our stay (be sure to have coins!). The hotel is on one of the main streets so on one of the nights it got a bit noisy. The included breakfast was pretty decent. All in all probably one of the nicer hotels in St Andrews.

Dawn

Disliked: Amenities
Spa is no longer available without purchasing a treatment. We booked and paid way too much to not have this offered any longer due to new ownership. No AC meant windows had to stay open allowing bees and wasps inside and very loud due to traffic and birds. Our room was located across the street and on the 3rd level with no assistance with luggage up a tight spiral staircase.

If you want to go “free” spa, prepare to pay

We selected the hotel, because it has a spa. Then we found out that in order to get in the spa you need to buy a special treatments.. all over 100 pounds. We think that information is very misleading

Really nice hotel. We were in the annex across the road but the very helpful receptionist took us over to our room. Room was huge as was the bathroom which had really nice toiletries. Breakfast in the main hotel was really good with freshly cooked items fresh fruit pastries and lots more. I would return to this hotel

staff lovely& breakynice butdangerously low ceilin

Staff were lovely and accommodating, nothing too much trouble. Excellent breakfast options and very tasty. I would not recommend staying top floor in the annex to anyone with walking difficulties or even those who can’t manage steep steps. The room layout with the windows and low slopping ceiling meant my partner cut his head open and I bumped mine too but was only bruised. Only one chair at the table where coffee machine was and this was broken - so was disappointing.

A fantastic one night stay

I had a fantastic one night stay. The hotel is located in the heart of St Andrews, close to all of the town’s amenities. The staff were professional and welcoming (Klaudia in particular was very kind and took the time to talk to me about my visit to St Andrews). My room was spacious and had a very large, comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent: there was a plentiful continental selection in addition to the cooked breakfast. -My room was mostly very clean (apart from some dust on the top shelf of the wardrobe).
