The staff at the Old Course go above and beyond. We were staying to celebrate the anniversary of our engagement, when we also stayed here. On both occasions the staff have gone out of their way to make each weekend truly special. The hotel itself is beautiful with great facilities and an unrivalled location. I also appreciate that they have gluten free bread meaning the breakfast has several gluten free options - in future it would be good if these options were even more extensive (e.g gf granola or pancakes/french toast etc.)

Absolutely amazing weekend. Felt looked after straight away from the check in staff, this carried on with each area we were in, including the spa and The Jigger Inn. The hotel is so well looked after, the bedroom was clean and comfortable with great views of the golf courses.
