An absolute gem just outside of St. Andrews. Only stayed for one night, but what a lovey stay. The gardens are beautiful, I loved walking through them after dinner. The room was well appointed and had homemade short bread. Plus it was so nice and quiet.

The most charming hidden gem we were blessed to encounter. Everything we needed was there so there was no reason to leave, all the while being surrounded by a peaceful atmosphere. The layout of the cabin was perfect, clean, not cluttered at all. Loved it. The “fine dining” experience was nice for presentation purpose, but was way over priced and left us still hungry. Thankfully the 24 hour bar had a great menu that was much more to offer.

A great hotel in really nice countryside surroundings yet only a 5 minute drive from St Andrews. The room was very comfortable and well heated which is important for a December stay.

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.
