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

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!
