Cozy hotel just outside of St.Andrews

Hotel was very cozy, about 2-3 km outside of St. Andrews. Loved the breakfast buffet, with cozy outdoor seating by the beautiful gardens.

1-night trip

6/10 Good

When I arrived at 8pm there was no one at front desk, also the front desk was a table. I had to get the restaurant/bar staff to check me in after hitting the bell twice over 5-10mins. The hotel feels family run and has charm, however the service received was not great, It seems like they were short-staffed. Great breakfast to choose from and the room was comfortable.

An absolute gem just outside of St. Andrews. Only stayed for one night, but what a lovey stay. The gardens are beautiful, I loved walking through them after dinner. The room was well appointed and had homemade short bread. Plus it was so nice and quiet.

William, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All the staff very extremely helpful and professional. We stayed in the gatehouse with our dog which was ideal. Our only issues were the works required in the bathroom, there has obviously been a leek at some point the wall paper is coming away and the ceiling is stained, the tiles on the on the shower floor are loose and could cause an injury.

A great hotel in really nice countryside surroundings yet only a 5 minute drive from St Andrews. The room was very comfortable and well heated which is important for a December stay.
