Fantastic hotel and staff, friendly, professional, helpful. Because of them I managed to play at the Old Course (I’m from Canada, I didn’t know golf would be available this time of year… they gave me the idea and helped me make it happen!) The atmosphere was great, it seemed like all guests were having a good time. The “One Under” pub downstairs was fantastic… I had a great time thank you for everything guys!

Liked: Room comfort
1- like other reviewers, I also experienced plumbing issues ( hot water delay) water not maintaining temperature. 2- As a global traveler, this was the smallest room I ever stayed in. 3- For breakfast, I felt like porridge was microwaved and pancakes were from Tesco. 4- breakfast service was attentive

Disappointing stay
First impressions of the hotel were good. There was a warm welcome and the decor is lovely. Unfortunately, we spent the first night in a warm room with no hot water. We were assured it would be fixed in the morning but no-one came. When we followed up, we asked to change rooms. We then ended up with hot water but a freezing room. It was a dreary weekend in St Andrews and we kept coming in from the rain hoping to get warmed up. It was unusually difficult. Service was mixed. For instance, the food at breakfast was lovely but on day one the table was set with dirty cutlery and on day two with cracked crockery. Overall, not what we were expecting.
