Twixmas Treat

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.

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.

Lovely property in country house style within 5 mins drive of St Andrews. Well appointed and comfortable room, great bar with very friendly staff which also carried through to a fab breakfast. Would have been nice with further facilities but an inviting 10 acre garden makes for a lovely walk
