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.

Amazing stay at a fantastic hotel.
Stayed in a gorgeous Shepards Hut which boasts fantastic facilities in an idyllic location. It is located in a very peaceful area of the lovely hotel garden.
The staff were very friendly, courteous and professional and the service provided was excellent, particularly by the head waitress / supervisor.

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

The hotel and grounds were beautiful. It’s a short cab trip to the Old Course and downtown. The bar and restaurant were very nice. Moreover, the staff were just wonderful. They couldn’t have been more welcoming. We highly, highly recommend this hotel.

We were only in St Andrews for one night, but the hotel was lovely. The staff was friendly, and the 2 rooms we had were perfect for a family of 5.
Dinner in the bar was nice, and the breakfast options were fantastic. We will certainly be back on our next trip to Scotland!
