Staff was extremely friendly and helpful! The hotel coud use a little rennovating- but it is in a perfect location and an affordable alternative to the more expensive golf related hotels. Breakfast is simple and pleasant- overall, very good value and would stay again.

A true find in St Andrews! Comfort and hospitality covered here, especially for travelers that have their clubs in tow. The garden space was a plus! Will look to visit here again.

When life requires a Uni visit for your child
Like a giant hug, felt like a home away from home when the purpose of the trip was for an emergency for my son, a student at St Andrew's. They were so understanding and accommodating making that part of the trip zero worry.
