Eccellente connubio tra qualità del servizio e tranquillità
Pros:

Ho trovato un livello di comfort impeccabile. Lo staff si è rivelato estremamente disponibile e cortese, garantendo un'accoglienza attenta ma discreta. La camera era bellissima, curata nei minimi dettagli per garantire un riposo ottimale e resa unica da una splendida vista sul grande giardino della tenuta. Un'ottima scelta per chi apprezza la pace di un contesto rurale senza rinunciare a standard qualitativi elevati.

A luxury country house experience within walking distance of St Andrews
Pros:

The staff are friendly, the ambience pleasant, the style luxurious and the food very good.

Cons:

Price-wise this is at the top end of the market - our bill for dinner, B & B and drinks came to nearly £700. The place is worth the money in my view, but at the same time should continue to do all it can to provide good value for guests.

A beautiful place worth the short drive from
Pros:

Absolutely restful and beautiful and near the city of St Andrews. If you have a car there is no better option. Peaceful dining and gardens and helpful staff.

Cons:

It was a traditional style so the rooms were relatively small. Still the amenities were wonderful and modern.

Very british
Pros:

Ein sehr schönes Haus, typisch britisch. Das Frühstück war hervorragend und das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben einmal im Hotel zu Abend gegessen, dass war recht ordentlich. Es gibt noch eine gute Bar..

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war recht klein und dass Bett schmal für zwei Personen. Das war aber vorher bekannt und war für uns für 3 Nächte OK. Was nirgendwo vermerkt war, dass vor dem Fenster ein Ventilator/Abzug von ca. 6:30 morgens bis nach 22:30 Krach gemacht hat.
