Pros:

Good range of options and size of portions. Staff friendly and helpful. Free parking right next door to hotel.

Cons:

Very noisy outside my room (overlooking the street) Shouting till midnight. Might have to expected if we'd won rugby. Friday worse than Saturday night but maybe I was just more tired. I stayed here before a couple of years ago and this was not a problem. Perhaps room at the back?

Cozy stay at inn in downtown St Andrews
Pros:

Perfect location on North Street. Staff were friendly and the inn is a cozy spot above the pub. Comfortable bed, decent breakfast.

Cons:

The water temperature was impossible to keep at a comfortable temp for a shower, but the tub was deep and comfy and I was able to draw a bath instead.
