Hotel was first class. Everything about this hotel is exceptional. Early check in, staff friendly and courteous. The room was clean, and furnished to a high quality. The baths are very deep, love the water taps. Also the macaroons in the room were a nice touch. The breakfasts were first class, with amazing views of the golf course. Also enjoyed the cocktails on the 4th floor, where a pianist provided some background music, and even took requests. Loved every minute, will be back.

Literally, the best hotel in St andrews.

The hotel’s location is exceptional, right in the center of the town. It has large rooms with all services and breakfast provided. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Simply, a great experience.

Superb hotel and excellent customer service

Stayed for a 2 night weekend break in September. Excellent hotel; 5 stars fully deserved as are high customer review ratings: 5 stars in regard to: customer service and culture from staff (e.g. cleaner in hall even switched off vacuum cleaner to say good morning when we passed); food (breakfasts and dinner) very good (and excellent value too); room high quality fittings/cleaniness; spa (exeptionally good!). Superb hotel, with customer service and quality engrained in delivery and culture. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!
