Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and well-equipped rooms, although housekeeping could be improved. The service is very helpful and welcoming. The location is fantastic, and the dining experience could be enhanced. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly staff and some minor areas for improvement.
The hotel offers spacious and nicely decorated rooms with great views over the golf courses. The shuttle bus into St Andrews was very useful. The service was exceptional, with extremely friendly and helpful staff, though they were out of Pinot Grigio. The location, while a bit out of the way for non-golfers, offers a shuttle service to the main town. The dining experience was good, but lacked atmosphere. Overall, a memorable stay in a delightful hotel.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with fantastic garden and sea views, coupled with friendly and professional service. The quiet location provides a serene getaway, while the dining options are plentiful albeit a bit pricey. The facilities are well-maintained, adding to the overall positive experience.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were spacious with a convenient roll-away bed option, beautifully furnished with all the necessary amenities. The service was overall very good, although there were some minor setbacks. The location offers stunning views and plenty of activities, while the dining experience was mostly positive with a small hiccup. The facilities were well-maintained and satisfactory overall.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were nice and comfortable, providing plenty of seating to relax. However, my room was located quite far from the reception area. The service was excellent with friendly and helpful staff, although there was a minor issue with my plate being forgotten. The hotel's location was great for golf enthusiasts or those looking to enjoy a beautiful hike along the coast. The dining experience was a bit lacking in attention to detail, especially for a supposed 5-star hotel. Despite this, the self-service dining allowed flexibility in choosing portions. Overall, the hotel's facilities were decent.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with amazing sea view rooms overlooking the golf courses and St Andrews township. The rooms were spacious and very clean, although my check-in was delayed past 3 pm. The service was exceptional, with friendly and engaging staff throughout my stay. The location was fantastic, with a comfy bed, great indoor pool, and beautiful views. The dining experience was a bit impersonal, but the buffet-style meals were nice. Overall, a great stay with a few minor hiccups.
