  • One of my favourite places in the world, the Royal and Ancient Course at St Andrews, Scotland. How brilliant is this course...incredible. And if you don't like golf, fine, St Andrews is a cool little town. I'd also recommend the Anstruther Fish Bar just down the coast a wee bit...and I don't really like fish and chips heaps, but delicious all the same. 2.4.2005

GREAT location, large rooms - love staying at the Dunny. Onlybwarning I would give is that it will be loud at night (until the bar downstairs closes and the golfers/students disperse) until around 11. Not good for children.

The Dunvegan Hotel is fabulous! We loved our time there. The location is perfect, close to the courses, shops, beaches and St Andrews. The people and staff are amazing, so helpful, and so fun. It was lively in the pub area and dinner at the Claret Jug was great. Absolutely a place I'd recommend for repeat visits.

Legendary hotel

Amazing location and history. The bar was always lively but the noise wasn’t an issue in our hotel rooms. Breakfast was good. The only downside was that there was a leak in the room above so the ceiling in one of our rooms was in pretty bad shape. The bathrooms were newly remodeled but our room needed some TLC. Having said that I would stay there again

Fun spot from which to experience St. Andrew’s. Great staff. Comfortable, clean room. Only cautions are that parking is a couple blocks away and there is no elevator, so luggage must be carried up the narrow stairs to the 2nd floor. Would stay here again.

Wonderful hotel

I loved staying at The Dunvegan. First of all, the staff was outstanding. They were friendly and responsive. The hotel was clean, and my room was kept in prime condition. The breakfasts were yummy, and one night I ate in and the fish and chips were the best I've had. The hotel was central, so I could walk everywhere with ease. If I return to St. Andrews, The Dunvegan will be my first choice of where to stay. Thank you!

This is an older hotel and when you first check in rooms seem old. However they were comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was fabulous and we found the restaurant/pub the best in the evening. It was packed full of golfers and locals, who made you feel at home. The hotel is within walking distance Erin the bus station and to all of the local attractions.
