The hotel offers spectacular views over the beach and the golf course with well-equipped and very clean rooms, though located in the basement. The service was excellent, especially from the housekeeping team, and they were lovely and welcoming. The location is fabulous for coastal strolls and exploring downtown, but noise from above rooms could be an issue at night. The dining experience had some drawbacks with inconsistent food quality, but there are lovely bars and dining options available. Overall, a great stay with a few minor hiccups.

The hotel is excellently located for easy access to St Andrews, offering beautiful views and convenient proximity to the city’s attractions. The rooms are thoughtfully arranged, comfortable, and pay close attention to detail, but they can feel a bit confined on the top floor. The dining experience is generally of high quality, although there were some inconsistencies in value. The hotel facilities are well-maintained and contribute to a pleasant stay.

My stay at the hotel was truly a mixed experience. The rooms were beautiful and clean, and we were fortunate enough to get an upgrade, enjoying stunning views. However, the service was less than attentive, although the staff in the bistro and on reception were really friendly and helpful. The location offered great views, but there were some issues with the restaurant size that affected the dining experience. The food was tasty, but the service could have been improved. Despite some shortcomings, the hotel facilities were impressive and contributed to an overall pleasant stay.

The dining experience was a mix of highs and lows. While the breakfast was one of the best I've had with a wide range of choices, the dinner quality was a bit disappointing with low-quality ingredients and poorly brewed coffee. However, the breakfast buffet with freshly squeezed orange juice and a variety of coffee choices was a standout.

I was impressed by the enormous sleigh bed and the incredibly comfortable mattress in the room, making it an amazing experience. However, the restaurant fell short with below-average offerings. Although there was a lack of welcome gestures despite prior communication regarding the special occasion, the room itself was truly remarkable.
