We had a lovely room in the gatehouse which was clean and had everything we needed. You won’t be disappointed with the food. Quality tasty and well prepared and presented. Simply delicious. Very close to the centre of St Andrews but not walking distance. Plenty of car parking at the time we visited. If you are not a golfer try the 18 hole putting course, lots of fun.

Rufflets was our favorite stay out of five different hotels in the UK. The whole experience was incredible! The staff is so wonderful and welcoming, the bar was cozy, and the breakfast was delicious. My family all agrees that this is the one hotel we want to go back to!
