A lovely room but not the 5 star we expected, pillows were awful, aircon noisy, had to ask for refreshing of the shower gel. Mud not hoovered up etc Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice and attentive service. The bar in the evening was packed and it was slow service and sometimes difficult to get a space. La Cucina wasn't anything special and overpriced for what it is, much better restaurants in St Andrews. The spa is nice but with lots of families with children wasn't relaxing and difficult to swim. The shuttle service is helpful but often fills up in advance with only 8 seats and stops at 6pm, a taxi back from St Andrews costs about £10-£12.

Location is good, plenty of walking options. St Andrews is 10 minutes away. Menus, food quality and availability, was better last March when we stayed in this Hotel. Best to stay when schools are not on holiday.
