A lovely room but not the 5 star we expected, pillows were awful, aircon noisy, had to ask for refreshing of the shower gel. Mud not hoovered up etc Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice and attentive service. The bar in the evening was packed and it was slow service and sometimes difficult to get a space. La Cucina wasn't anything special and overpriced for what it is, much better restaurants in St Andrews. The spa is nice but with lots of families with children wasn't relaxing and difficult to swim. The shuttle service is helpful but often fills up in advance with only 8 seats and stops at 6pm, a taxi back from St Andrews costs about £10-£12.

First Class, Welcoming & Excellent

There for a romantic stay and the hotel was beautiful, especially with all their stunning Christmas decorations. Service was absolutely first class: friendly, helpful, warm, welcoming and just made us feel special and pampered. Yes it’s a hotel of the highest standards but you don’t feel in any way uncomfortable - just like a beautiful big house with lots of people looking after you for two days. Huge credit to management and more importantly the staff.

Fabulous hotel, perfect for a relaxed break whether that be as a couple or as a family. Overall, High standards and friendly service. Would definitely return. Only couple of issues we had was it was very difficult to find a parking space on arrival due to the busyness of the hotel and very slow service at reception checking in which meant significant time standing in a queue. One of the most disappointing points, which I did not expect from such a high class hotel, was when our beds were made on the second day, the sheets were neatly folded but the pillows were left as we had slept on them- not plumped to neatened. Did not look good when we arrived back to our room.
