The hotel is beautiful but I had some issues. I made contact with the hotel to make them aware and received an apology. I was not happy with something said at check-in, my shower handle came off and wardrobe door handle too. These were not fixed. The noise from upstairs, fridge and people banging on the hall way door prevented me sleeping. I had issues ordering breakfast due to a lack of menu in the room and reception not knowing what I could have. My room was lovely other than what I mentioned above, the majority of the staff were friendly and the food good. I loved the smell of the coal fire every time I went to the reception area! I just expected better from a 5 star hotel. I would not return at full price as I don’t trust that I wouldn’t have a similar experience.

Loved our stay at the Rusacks. Thr room was beautiful and spacious with amazing views over the golf course and beach. Could relax in our room for hours. I had the most comfortable sleep even the pillows were a dream. The staff were all friendly, polite and welcoming. Would highly recommend going at Christmastime. The location is ideal close to the beach and the town. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Amazing staff!

I brought my husband here for his birthday and to play at St Andrew’s. The team at Rusacks made it such a memorable stay for us. They were very warm and welcoming from the offset and gave us a tour of facilities and a walk through of the grounds. They even had great quality clubs to lend him for his game. We were treated with a bottle of champagne to celebrate and a bag of treats for our pup. The room was beautiful with a great view of the old course. My husband was a big fan of the man sized towels and robes which many hotels miss out on. 5/5 would stay again thanks to the great team there!

Great Location and Property

Great location in one of the most picturesque villages in Scotland. The 18th hole is just outside the back door and the road hole is right there too. Great for a peaceful early morning walk, even if you aren't a golfer. The stroll down the street along water to the ancient cathedral is a beautiful walk as well. Overall the food, location and room were first rate and some of the best accommodations we had in our week in Scotland.
