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.

Wonderful stay at a great price.

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.

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.
