Excellent. Exactly as expected and will definitely stay again
Pros:

An absolutely stunning property on the edge of the St Andrews Golf Course. The views from the 18 Restaurant over the course, sea and sands were spectacular. The staff were great, could not do enough to help with everything, pleasant and very friendly.

Cons:

The only very small drawback was the parking. Although we were very lucky and able to park very close to the hotel

Excellent spot for enjoying all of St. Andrew’s!
Pros:

We had a wonderful experience at the Rusacks St. Andrew’s! The hotel shows Scottish charm and hospitality! All points of interest were a comfortable walk around the small town. Special thanks to Lauren’s help with local recommendations and beyond. Gordon was quite helpful and kind, and we loved his traditional style! The Sunday brunch was wonderful, as were the views! Donald our server was great. The breakfast service was excellent as well! We are grateful for these memories and hope to return!

Weekend Away with an Amazing Upgrade
Pros:

My wife and I have just returned from another amazing weekend stay at Rusacks, our 2nd visit this year. We always feel so welcome and comfortable each time we visit. We were fortunate enough to receive a fantastic room upgrade during this last visit, and the view across the Links golf course and beach from our balcony was very special indeed. We truly savoured and appreciated every second of being in that wonderful room with the incredible view. As always, the service from ALL the staff was brilliant, but Jack in the breakfast room deserves a special mention for his friendly attentiveness and efficiency. Breakfasts were great, plenty choice and everything very tasty. We will definitely return, hopefully many times!

A fab stay at Rusacks
Pros:

We had such a lovely stay. Laura and Isla welcomed us on reception to check us in. The concierge team had set up our room to perfection with fizz and cake for my husband's birthday. Breakfast was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. Feel refreshed and looked after. We'll be back!

Excellent hotel, great staff, lovely views
Pros:

Had a wonderful stay here this weekend. Gorgeous hotel with exceptional staff. Bruce the Concierge took us to our stunning Links room overlooking the golf course, with views of the beach too. He was friendly, professional and very informative with regards to our room and stay. We were welcomed both mornings at breakfast by the manager Becky who was lovely and friendly despite dealing with a busy breakfast service. A great choice of table served breakfasts to choose from and plenty of staff working which meant a smooth steady service. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back.
