Liked: Cleanliness
Clean and safe and close to the centre of town and the shore, but not a 4 star property by any stretch.
Furniture was cheap and old fashioned (but not in a vintage way). Bedroom had two bedside lamps but only one plug.
Breakfast was served in the Dunvegan (sister property two doors down). Staff were somewhat uninterested though helpful enough. Quality of food was mid to low.
Definitely not good value at £186 a night - even though St Andrews is ridiculously expensive to stay in.
Seems odd that it was more expensive than normal AND unstaffed that night.
Couldn't really recommend it on a vfm perspective but if you are on a budget and its <£150 a night it might be worth a punt.
Great location; nice friendly staff; clean
Parking was a bit inconvenient as we were unfamiliar with the area and local parking restrictions
Room was comfortable but small; a luggage stand would be helpful
Nice property, very good location next to its partner property the famous Dunvegan, around the corner from the Old Course, and walking to everything. The breakfast was good and the staff were very friendly and professional. I will stay here next time I’m in St Andrews.
From the Happy Birthday banner to the lovely appointed room (and fabulous bath) - this was my FAVORITE!!! Breakfast was scrumptious too - what a treat. Location is perfect too. Thank you so much!
Everything about the room was wonderful. Breakfast was amazing. Staff were incredibly professional, sweet, and pleasant. I would visit again due to the service and quality of food alone.
However, I would not recommend my room for more than one person or a couple. The room was small, but cozy. There was no AC, but it was not really necessary. Shower was small as well so be prepared if you are taller or larger. Those were the only slight "downsides." Otherwise the stay was perfect.
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 room was nice other than being on the 3rd floor with no elevator and two twin beds instead of a king. The check in is different, you go to the pub next door and they check you in and the young man carried our bags up and down the stairs. The area is perfect and the pub is a great place to hangout after a round.
The included breakfast was nice. Our room was a small separated building at the back of the property. It was cute but the two twin beds was unexpected. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The only negative was that they turned off the power in our room 15 minutes before checkout and I was still finishing packing up.
We had two rooms for 4 people. One room was the detached back cottage with two twin beds and a bit smaller bathroom that our older daughters used, and one room was upstairs with nice space and a very nice restrooms including modern shower my wife and I used. The location was perfect for our brief visit to see some of the St Andrews history and visit the Old Course. The provided breakfast was superb and we enjoyed talking with the staff. The sister property, Dunvegan Hotel, had a nice bar for drinks and listening to the golfers coming in tell their stories. We would stay here again.
