    Located right on the coast and with multiple golf courses conveniently situated. The staff are super helpful. The spa was great, loved the massage. Try out the Jigger Inn, fun place with great food and good pints. Easy to get to town and have a good time.

    Beautiful hotel and great service all round. Very nice spa which is open free of charge to house guests at certain hours. Don't forget to visit Jigger Inn.

    We stopped in to the fourth floor bar for a small refreshment after a hard day's wandering around the town. The staff were friendly and attentive. The view was stunning overlooking the sea, beach and Old Course. Nicely kept toilets. We didn't have time to stop longer but will definitely be back.

    Finished my st. Andrew's golf tour here. Lovely hotel although I wasn't staying there. Beautifully appointed with exceptional views of the course and beyond. There was a spa, golf pro shop and library bar...all were beautiful and staff personnel were fabulous.

    Kholer experience was superb. The facilities are lovely. It was quite busy on a Friday morning, but lots of space still. Great massage and facial.

    Beautiful hotel located on the historic old course in St.Andrews. Their room service is some of the best I have ever had, and this is coming from someone who is a picky eater! Always served hot and the butter chicken is a must try. The spa service I got was one of the best massages I’ve ever had. Kohler water spa is amazing! Lots of cute on-site areas to sit and eat too. Only neutral vs great thing I will say- do not expect to check in to your room early if you’re arriving after an international flight and are tired. Plan your day for the check-in time that is listed online so you’re not sitting waiting! They will store your luggage for you and you can walk into town to explore until your room is ready :) Last thing I’ll mention as a huge plus- their tubs in the room are very nice. With the in-room tea kettle, you can brew a nice tea and look forward to a kohler bath experience!

    This shouldn't be a surprise that everything here is exceptional. The staff were beyond accommodating and incredible. Everything you need or want is there. We did visit while the spa is under renovation so I really didn't get to enjoy that to its fullest. And the views are amazing.

    A fantastic hotel, boasting great food and a spa. Very friendly, efficient and highly professional staff delivering every aspect of service with a smile. Loved it and will return many times in the future.

    Beware, an innocent lunch can turn into an overnight delight! On a long roadtrip. Decided to pop in to enjoy lunch and charge the car up. Concierge set the car charging, and I found the bar on the 4th floor with magnificent views for lunch. Service, food, and cocktails were excellent. And led to me deciding to stay the night if I could book a treatment the next day. 1 slot left in the spa, so booked a base room with sea view, massage, and lunch in the Spa the next day. The only negative: the most expensive room I've ever booked in the UK and the bath plug didn't work, so I kept needing to refill and the noise of it going down the drain removed any relaxation the super deep luxury tub could offer. Coupled with sealant in dire need of replacement and poor TV options, which weren't on a level with the room rate. A real shame as the room with its stunning view, waterfall bath filler, generous complimentary lotions n potions and super comfortable bed was perfect. The details are so important but sadly rarely valued. Fabulous bed, slept very well. Breakfast, back to the 4th floor and those amazing views. Excellent choice, continental buffet, and some cooked items, but the main hot choices being on the menu. Plenty of staff so tables turned around quickly. Check out at 12, so I enjoyed the sea view a little longer. Made reception aware of the bath issues, which they'll make maintenance aware off. Would I come back? Although my stay fitted so well to my trip as an unplanned highlight, I'd probably not return without incentive. The niggle could have been appeased with a goodwill gesture, but instead the level of complacency exhibited devalued my customer worth and experience. Ending anything on a negative is never good and depreciates all the staffs excellent attention previous. Always end on a positive, because that's what you'll remember first.

    After travelling from Devon to visit st Andrews we booked afternoon tea at the hotel. On arrival the reception team offered us to use the spa facilities to freshen up before lunch. The restaurant staff are super friendly. Food was fantastic and the views unreal. Service was top class. Will be back

    The absolute BEST place to stay if you’re visiting St. Andrews. The hotel is amazing. The rooms are excellent, with incredible views of The Old Course and the town, and they have the most amazing showers you’ll find in any hotel. Breakfast is good (although I hate the fact that they can’t seem to cook their eggs here…they’re runny and gross), and it and the bar and the other restaurant all have beautiful views. The service here is excellent. I will say that the fitness center was a little disappointing, but overall I had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this place.

    Couldn’t have annoyed my stay more. Kind and officious staff that appeared eager to help guests. Eating arrangements offer an array of options depending on budget and preference. The photograph is a room (The Boardroom) that can be reserved for a night for a multi-course meal. Roof top access provides an unparalleled view of the gorgeous courses, and town of Saint Andrew.

    Fabulous location and not the first time I've stayed at the Old Course. It is off season but the hotel was lacking atmosphere. Food offering is ok but could be enhanced. Overall looking a bit tired and dated. Jigger Inn needs a refresh and a step change in the food offering too. Enjoyable stay nonetheless but there are other choices.

  • 5/5 Vinny B. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely outstanding hotel. The staff are fantastic, the breakfast and evening meal delicious and the location is unreal. Can't wait to come back next year!

    Lovely hotel. Beautiful situation over looking Old course and Old Clubhouse from lounge bar. No Criticisms it is the flagship Hotel in a top destination for tourists . Worth the premium on prices to some of the more basic hostelries in St Andrews .

  • 5/5 Marko V. 1 year ago on Google
    This was a hospitality package for the Dunhill Cup. We had a really wonderful day the hotel staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly. The service was excellent as was our meal and the view from our table at the window was just perfect. It helped of course that St Andrews looked so good in the sunshine and the golf of course was great !

    Great Spa experience every time. I had the most amazing facial I've ever had. I had a detox facial and the girl that did mine was so gentle and it never at any point felt rushed. The rooms were lovely too. I had my nails done and one of them chipped however the team refunded me promptly - very efficient service.

    Amazing hotel, the staff are so attentive and friendly and helpful. Anything you need, big or small they are happy to help with. The daily breakfast is delicious. You have the option of ordering from the menu and/or getting food from the buffet. I highly recommend the breakfast option for each morning. The rooms were spacious, and the shower luxurious. The spa was good but not the best I’ve ever been too, again the staff were amazing though. Lots of dinning options such as the Road Hole restaurant and the Jigger in. Would highly recommend the hotel for your next stay.

    Service was attentive relative to how busy the restaurant was. However, we were surprised that even with a limited menu many choices were not available. Don't know if this is commonplace or not b/c of their prominent location inside a very busy airport.

    Afternoon tea booked for 11 (10 adults/1 child) on Saturday 4th June. I arrived 10 minutes early and ordered drink. It took 2 attempts and eventually drinks arrived 35 minutes later. Tea was served, one of my party delayed her tea until later and is still waiting. Sandwiches only came out for 9 adults and 1 child, took awhile for staff to understand our dilemma and action. Drinks ordered, not received and whilst you have plenty of staff they didn't seem to have a direction of what to do. Bill arrived as requested, checked and felt that staff wanted us moved on, if a member of staff wanted us to leave to get table ready for dinner, great, we could have moved to bar (maybe spent more money) but was not offered. This was my recommendation to come to Old Course for cousin's 70th Birthday, and was extremely disappointed that service wasn't particularly great. I think you will be disappointed in my feedback as you pride yourself in your first class service. So please take this as an opportunity to address service in Road Hole restaurant and restow my belief in your establishment.

    Having afternoon tea overlooking the Old Course. Top notch as you'd expect from a Kohler hotel. Haven't stayed as a guest, but is there any doubt that every last aspect of your stay will be 5 star?? I think not.

    The Old Course is a truly lovely experience. I think that this time of year (summer) particularly with a lot of events including the university graduations and golf events means that staff are often overwhelmed. They handle it wonderfully, however I was a little disappointed that residents were not allowed to eat in an Old Course-associated pub the Jigger Inn without a reservation (despite there being tables available).

    Wonderful hotel with amazing views over the old golf course. The rooms are extraordinarily quiet and comfortable. Very glad I stayed in memory of my dad who was Scottish heritage and an avid golfer

  • 5/5 Lauren K. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a nice hotel with lovely views and great food and cocktails. The rooms are large and well appointed. We had dinner at the Road Hole restaurant and it was excellent. We only stayed one night but I would have loved to stay longer.
