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

Wonderful Hotel Experience in St. Andrews
Pros:

The hotel is very good: comfortable, with spacious and beautiful gardens. The staff, without exception, were extremely friendly, and the communal areas are very pleasant. We had a small issue with the room, which was resolved immediately.

The meals, particularly dinner, were of exceptional quality, both in terms of the service and the food itself. The hotel is of a size that allows for comfort and a personalised approach to service.

We will certainly return on a future trip.

Cons:

Everything was wonderful.
