The outside garden is beautiful and dining area is very cozy. The room was clean but overall very very dated. Our shower had to be plugged in and switched on in the bedroom when our shower of course was in the bathroom. The fireplace is just a little electrical one which is fine but kinda takes away from the rustic feel when the rest of the room/furniture are more updated but cheap. I do think the pictures give it a different feel than in person. Overall our experience wasn’t bad and the staff was very helpful, but it doesn’t feel like any money has been put back into the inside of the property in many many years.

Good parking. Best restaurant of trip! Staff friendly. Room large/clean. Bed just not comfortable. It is in the country but pretty and quiet. Close to St Andrews and a short drive to other coastal towns.

Of the 4 hotels I stayed in in Scotland, this was the best. A short drive outside of St Andrews with rates a fraction of the cost of hotels in town. Parking on site was easy. On site restaurant was excellent. The fish and chips was the best I had in the country. Staff was amazing. Rooms were in excellent condition. Property was unique and looked like a small village.
