Fantastic Stay!!!
Pros:

Had a great time at the Rusacks Hotel in St Andrews. A fantastic hotel with excellent facilities, but it was the staff who really made our stay special.

They couldn’t do enough for us, particularly Michaela, the Front of House Manager. She managed everything perfectly from the initial booking through to our stay, and any changes we needed were handled effortlessly.

We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!

Rusacks, You Did Not Miss
Pros:

Okay Rusacks, you absolutely did not miss!

We started our first morning at The Bridge and what a way to wake up. We were seated in the most adorable little nook overlooking the 18th green and it was genuinely one of those moments where you just stop and soak it all in. The food and service were phenomenal and honestly the most magical breakfast setting I've ever experienced.

Then dinner at Rao's that evening. We got the best seat in the house right by the window and the whole space is just chef's kiss. Gorgeous decor, amazing photos on the walls, and such a cool atmosphere. But those meatballs... top 5 meatballs I've had in my life. No notes. Service was absolutely phenomenal.

We closed out the trip at 18 Rooftop for drinks and apps on our last night. The views were insane and the vibes were even better. The perfect ending to an unforgettable stay.

Rusacks, we'll be back!

RAOS, 18th, and The Bridge
Pros:

I experienced my first British Open at Birkdale then followed that with St Andrews. We stayed behind the Rusacks hotel on Golf Pl. Seamus set the ladies up for brunch at The Bridge the first morning overlooking the 18th hole. I ordered the avocado toast with fried eggs. It was absolutely delicious! The service was also incredible.

Next I want to highlight, that evening we went to Raos, the pop up summer spot on the ground floor of the Rusacks. In NYC, it is near impossible to snag a reservation but here we had a beautiful table. I would 10/10 recommend getting the meatballs and chopped salad! Matthew was super attentive recommending drinks as well as dishes.

Our last evening we had reservations at another place in town but we were told to check out the rooftop called the 18th. Without reservations we popped at the bar and ordered a few snacks and drinks. The oysters were huge and delicious as well as the sticky chicken and the rolls, of course!

Seamus was nothing short of making us feel welcomed and appreciated. Next visit, and there will be a next visit, dinner reservations at the 18th and the hotel stay will have to happen! Cannot wait to see how lovely the rooms are.

Thank you St. Andrews for a wonderful first trip!

A wonderful evening
Pros:

Dined with friends in 18 at Russacks a few days ago and was amazed to be welcomed in by the General Manager of the hotel Seamus Coen. We were looked after by Bronwyn who was outstanding and the food and atmosphere was superb. Many pictures taken of a beautiful sunset which made the evening complete. Thank you 18 and Russacks
