“The Perfect Place to Stay!”

St. Andrews Golf Hotel

5 of 5 stars
San Diego
Jul 17, 2007

Golfers - making the pilgrimage to St. Andrews - with your family - to "challenge" the Old Course? Then THIS is where you want to stay! PERFECT location and EXCELLENT accomodations. The staff were incredibly polite, helpful and supportive - especially "Mike", their roving Goodwill Ambassador. Great stories and a great guy... there's a convenient golf bag locker near the front door, and walking down the short hill to the R&A clubhouse, with your spikes on and bag slung across your back, viewing the sweeping coastline and links before you, well... it just doesn't get any better than that. The rooms are very nice (we stayed in the Harry Vardon suite, with an expansive bay window view of the sea - awesome!), the restaurant's menu highly commendable and the bar is a perfect place to sample single malts and tell war stories. Even better, it's perfectly situated for the rest of the family to stroll into town, check out the cathedral and castle ruins and just soak up the remarkable ambience of the place. I'd read quotes from famous pros like Jack and Player and others who said St. Andrews is perhaps the most delightful town in all of Scotland - and I'd have to agree. Believe me - we covered another 1500 miles exploring ALL of Scotland after our visit, and that comment STILL holds true! Anyway, It's just a great place with great staff and fabulous food. If I'm fortunate enough to ever get back there, that's the first booking I make (right after I get a tee time, of course). Cheers!

Many thanks for your very kind review. Mike our resident 'Hero' was delighted with his mention. You seem to have taken our sunshine back with you to San Diego! If you or indeed any friends intend returning, first have a look at our website which gives you all the details on how to apply for those all important advance tee times on the Old Course but remember how strict they are on application date!

“Great Few Days Away”

St. Andrews Golf Hotel

Jul 12, 2007

A lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. The room was big and bright and airy with great views and a modern well furnished bathroom. The staff were particularly attentive and with a small child this was particularly important. The restaurant for both breakfast and dinner was also very well appointed and the food was excellent. Highly recommended...

I'm delighted you enjoyed your recent stay in one of our newly refurbished, bedrooms. We do try hard to be as accommodating as possible of children of all ages, hence the new baby changing facilities on the ground floor. We're looking to have a small range of toys available to borrow during a child's stay in the near future - watch this space! Thank you for taking the time to submit a review, we really appreciate all your feedback.

“A great deal”

St. Andrews Golf Hotel

5 of 5 stars
New Orleans LA
Jun 13, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

We were astounded at the high prices at The Old Course Hotel (which was, to be sure, spectacular) and "settled" for the St. Andrews Golf Hotel. We didn't regret our choice for even a second. This hotel was extremely well located, completely comfortable and staffed with a great group of people, from the reception clerk to the bartenders to the dining room staff. If, as I hope, we ever get a chance to go back to St. Andrews, this will be our first choice. It's a really nice place to stay, extremely welcoming, and at a fair price.

“Outstanding Service in St. Andrews”

St. Andrews Golf Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Kenilworth, Illinois
May 30, 2007

Everyone at the St.Andrews Golf Hotel seemed to love their job and it showed in terms of good cheer, helpfulness, responsiveness, and great service. In order of appearance, the reception staff helped on everything from ensuring that the rooms met our needs, helped make reservations, and provided good directions. The bar staff were friendly and attentitive. The restaurant wait staff were very eager to help and the food was terrific. The porter was jolly and full of helpful advice. The hotel appears to have been redone and is clean, sparkling, and inviting. The new owner stopped by and introduced himself. He was visible throughout our stay and set the tone for a fabulous stay. Just a short walk to the tee at the Old Course, right on the shore, and near everything. Good parking on the street. The icing on the cake was free wireless Internet--doesn't it drive you nuts at other hotels when you pay premium for a hotel room and then through the nose for the Internet? Not so at the St. Andrews Golf Hotel. I have stayed elsewhere on two previous trips to St. Andrews and this is the best overall value for money.

“The St. Andrews Golf Hotel is Wonderful”

St. Andrews Golf Hotel

May 25, 2007

The St. Andrews Golf Hotel has recently undergone a major redecorating and it is beautiful! The rooms are tastefully decorated with very comfortable beds and quality bed linens. The bathrooms are stocked with wonderful bath soaps, lotions and shampoos. The staff at
the hotel are well trained, extremely helpful and vey friendly. The food in the dining room and MaBelles was excellent. The location of the hotel is great - closed to the "Old Course", close to St. Andrews
city center and an easy walk to the castle and cathederal. We would definitely highly recommend this hotel and hope to be able to stay there again. The Fellows

Very pleased your party enjoyed your recent stay at 'The Golf'. You certainly had the weather for it! It's always nice to hear from happy guests, hope you had a safe journey home. We look forward to welcoming you back some time soon and thank you in advance for your recommendations. Next time you visit you might like to consider upgrading to a room with a sea view or one of the newly refurbished rooms on the first floor.
