There is a chef to cook breakfasts from a surprisingly varied menu or to order. The food and staff are excellent. Location is extremely convenient with St Andrew University graduation ceremonies literally across the street. Grocery, pharmacy, excellent dining options, great pubs all within a three minute walk. Free parking on street, but these are likely to fill up during the working day very quickly. Spaces generally open up after 5pm. Will stay here the next time I'm in town.

Very comfortable and quiet ! We stayed in the Bunker room, and even with it off of the main lobby, it was a very peaceful night! Very centrally located, able to walk anywhere in Saint Andrews, and lots of parking available on the street!

Charming Hotel with Timeless Atmosphere

We loved this hotel—it feels like stepping into another era. The location is perfect, making it easy to explore while still feeling tucked away. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable. A truly memorable experience!

Did not do my homework properly Just had new hip so stairs were way too much of a challenge .Room was far too small for getting around Again breakfast going down all them stairs was unsuitable. No handles in shower to hold on to and no shower mat. Disappointing stay Would not return.

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.
