“Nice B&B Intelligent Owner Good Pub 50 yards away”

20 minutes from Saint Andrews by good, safe back roads make this a very convenient place to stay when visiting St Andrews, avoid Cupar at all costs unless you need to do some shopping. This B&B is very clean and will be even better this year when all rooms have en suite facilities. Contrary to some reviews the owner is a highly intelligent lady, fluent in English, French and German. Kristin has plenty of useful information she can pass on and if you want some serious discussion on any other weighty matters she is happy to share discuss.

“Great B&B”

We stayed here for 3 nights during our golfing holiday last week, it was all very pleasant. Due to some delay on arrival, we finally made to the hotel almost 11pm. Kirstian was still awak and waiting for us, even offered us some tea. The room is on top floor, with view of golden farm field. For me, it was excellent, been living in big city and facing high raised building for most of my life, the view is a treat... The room is very spacious and beddings are very comfortable. Although we don't have en-suit shower/bath room, it was just next door to our bedroom. Nice and clean as you can expect... Breakfast is simple but good quality, it gave enough energy to us for playing 18 holes golf. Location is good for us, as we are playing 4 golf courses are all within 30mins drive, including St. Andrews. I love Scotland, love the golf... We will defintely go back next time ...

“NOT WELCOME”

Arriving 30 minutes before 4 PM Check in on a very rainy day we found the hotel locked tight. Our Taxi cab driver suggested we put our bags into the open garage and seek shelter in the local Inn. It too was closed, and the only other shelter from the rain was the bus hut. Host drove in 15 minutes later and parked in the garage. My husband asked her to let him get our luggage out before she closed the door. She raged at him demanding "Who said you could put them there?". NO WELCOME. Just complaint and rechecking her watch, now 10 minutes before opening. Also, "SOME WOMAN has being leaving messages (2) regarding your stay". Despite our explanation and water soaked condition, she still complained and strode toward the hotel. My husband uttered an uncomplimentary comment under his breath, but audible. I quietly asked her if she would prefer us to not stay with her. She said "Yes i would NOT have you stay" With prying, we were able to get our dear friend's messages from her, and caught a bus back to the nearest town , wondering where we might stay. This was NOT the usual SCOTTISH WELCOME, that we experienced everywhere else. Thank goodness, our friend's new phone number was in the message, and we were rescued from our damp distress.
