Pros:

Hotel jako takový je luxusní, umístěný na velmi klidném místě. Ideální pro odpočinek.

Cons:

Umístění pokoje nad kuchyní znamená velký hluk ze vzduchotechniky bezprostředně před oknem pokoje. Nedokonalý úklid koupelny-pavučiny na světlech

Would recommend if you want a relaxing peaceful place to stay that is good value
Pros:

The garden is exceptional, the room generous in size & the staff couldn’t be more helpful or pleasant

Cons:

It’s slightly further away from the centre of St Andrew’s than we thought however the peace & tranquility made up for it

Not worth the money if they don’t improve their performance.
Pros:

Very nice location and a fantastic garden.

Cons:

Low service for a 4* hotel. Seems to be understaffed and some of the employees are not very motivated.
The room was as described - however, I think it’s worthy to mention that the kitchen exhaust is located directly outside the window. (We stayed at the east wing)
Will share a picture which was taken directly in front of our door.

Nice place to stay near St Andrews
Pros:

The park next to hotel is so beautiful and refreshing. Good breakfast and service at café is superb.

Cons:

The mattress seem old, sinking. Wasn't comfortable at all. Our request for additional bed rejected due to "safety" reason !
