Pros:

La posizione vicino alla stazione dei treni, alla fermata del bus, al supermercato e alla chiesa.
La gentilezza del personale.

Cons:

La stanza non isolata con la porta che non si chiudeva e la troppa vicinanza al pub (almeno la nostra stanza). Si sentono tutti i rumori fuori.

Would definitely stay again if passing by. Lovely little village.
Pros:

Friendly staff, comfy bed, lovely hot shower and everything very clean. Kitchen with washing machine was great but could do with a small table and a couple of chairs so you didn't have to eat in bedroom.

Cons:

Small windows and couldn't open them, room hot and only a fan to cool. Wasn't the pictures I saw on booking . com.

Pros:

Newly updated room, very spacious and good size. Really friendly staff. Parking at accommodation. Easy access to Dundee, St.Andrews and many more towns and the coast

Cons:

The room we were in (the only downstairs room) had a hallway between the room and bar. A few people using the hallway to make phone calls right outside room door and also this room is below kitchen so woke at 4am with residents in kitchen noisily chatting. Bring your earplugs!

Pros:

Stanza molto ampia e letto molto largo. Molto carina la location con pub annesso dove puoi solo bere. Ampio parcheggio

Cons:

La stanza purtroppo si affacciava su una strada con le macchine che si sentono passare.Ma per il prezzo e dormirci una notte va più che bene

Ok place to put your head down if passing through.
Pros:

Parking. The room was a good size and the bed comfortable and the shower hot. Team and coffee making.

Cons:

The traffic noise until later hours of the night. The shower controls were too high up for me to reach and I needed to get a tall person to turn it on for me. Wouldn’t be any good for someone under 5’3. No refrigerator. No meals close by but we had a delicious meal at the golf course club about 7 miles away.

Cons:

Previous reviews mentioned car noise from the street, noting that the old building lacks soundproofing. However, neither my friend nor I are particularly sensitive to noise, so this did not pose a problem for us.
Issue #1: The shower water control knob in the ground-floor king bedroom was positioned too high—it was installed right up against the ceiling. At 5'1", I couldn't reach it.
I went to the bar to explain the situation. A friendly female bartender went across the street to her own home and brought back a collapsible plastic stool. That issue was resolved.
Problem #2: Regarding the downstairs room—the first day of my stay was reasonably okay. I had been a bit on edge because I’d read reviews mentioning a sewer-like odor. However, when I returned on the evening of the second day, there was a rather strong toilet-like smell coming from the sink. As a temporary fix, I covered the sink drain with toilet paper, which helped a little.
Problem #3: I fully understood and accepted the creaking noises coming from the staircase and the upstairs area.
The left-side door in the second-floor kitchen, as well as the main kitchen door, could use a little oiling; the noise they make is disruptive to the surrounding rooms.

Overall, considering the area, this accommodation offers excellent value for the price.

Pros:

나와 내 친구 이ye olde hotel에 4일 머물렀다

4일 전체 같은 방에 예약이 안되어서 첫 3일은 킹베드가 있는 방 화장실 포함 둘이서 함께. 아래층 길가 도로변에 출입문. 마지막 날은 더블베드에서 화장실 공용 각자 한 방씩 방 두 개 2층에.
아래층 킹 베드룸 방이 무척 컴 침대도 편안 방은 무척 깨끗.
- 마지막날 지낸 더브베드 룸도 적당한 사이즈 보통의 방 참대는 더블 오케이 그러나 가방 두 개 두기엔 약간 협소. 전체 호텔방, 아래층 화장실, 공용화장실 과 부엌 모두 리모델링이 된수퍼 크린. 오래된 물이지만 잘 관리된 곳. 공용 부엌도 충분히 음식 만들어 먹을 수 있는 취사 도구가 다 구비 됨 커피외 티도 넉넉히 준비 되어 있음. 사용서가 필요 없을 정도의 알기 쉽게 적혀 있는 세탁기도 있음. 부엌도 수퍼 크린. 4일 동안 우린 매일 식사는 직접 요리. 냉장고의 음식 보관 자리도 충분.
아래층 바의 직원분들도 무척 친절. 우리는 체크인보다 이른 시간에 도착 과 체크아웃 이후에도 짐 보관이 필요. 미리 짐 보관 요청을 해 놓았음.
무척 친절이 해 주었음.

투숙객 중에 세인트 앤드류에 골프 치려 가는데도큰 문제 없음 바로 호텔 앞에서 승하차 올드링크까지 버스로 넉넉히 15분. 버스도 자주 있음 주중에는 거의 10분 마다.

지닌 리뷰에서도로변의 자동차 소음.방음이 안된 오래된 건물. 나와 내 친구는 많이 예민하지 않았어 그것은 문제가 되지 안았음.
문제1 아래층 킹베드룸의 샤워 물 조정기가 너무 높았음. 천정 발ㅗ 아래 설치 됨. 5‘1인 내키에 닿지 않았음.
바에 가서 설명. 친절한 여자 바텐더가 건너편 자기 집에 가서 접는 플라스틱 스툴을 가져다 줌. 이 문제는 해결.
문제 2 아래층 방에서 도착 첫날은 그런대로 괜찮았음. 왜냐면 리뷰에서 하수구 냄새가 있었다는 글을 보았기에. 긴장했음. 그런데 둘째날 저녁 때 돌아왔을때 세면기에서 변기 냄새가 약간 심했음. 임시 방편으로 세면기에 화장질 덮었음 약간의 차도.
문제 3 층계에서와 위층의 비끄덕 소리는 충분히 이해 됨.
2층 부엌 외쪽문과 부엌문에 약간의기름칠이 필요. 주변방들에 소음이 됨

전체적으로 그 주변에서 숙소로 가격대비 아주 좋음.

Pros:

Good location, walking distance to the railway station; a bar inside the hotel . An old property, but rather charming and very clean. The room was comfortable with an onsuite. I was able to have food at a pub across the street.

Cons:

No complaints. Very adequate to my needs.

I was in the St Andrews area for work so really only needed somewhere to sleep and so the accommodation was acceptable.
Pros:

It was close to St Andrews and it was extremely reasonably priced. The room was clean, bright and warm. The welcome was very friendly.

Cons:

The entrance, stairs and hallways are extremely dated (needs a new carpet). It is a shared bathroom which appears to be shared with 4 other rooms. (although I didn’t really have any problems waiting to use it)
The shower is electric and, as is usual, with this type, the water pressure is pretty poor.
