Great location for golfers and families of students of St. Andrews. Breakfast offered great delicious choices. Great service. A great bonus was a delicious homemade baked item left in dining room each afternoon.

The location of this property is amazing. Literal steps from the Royal Mile and a fantastic pub right next door. Rooms worked well and were clean, and the kitchen provided essentials for anything you’d need. Definitely recommend!
