Room 102 - excellent large lounge area with flatscreen tv, very comfy sofas and chairs, fantastic large bed and has a fantastic view of golf house and west sands. Room 300 was a twin room again very nicely decorated with tartan decor, flat screen... More

Had coffee here in an old-fashioned style Scottish hotel with lots space for public rooms and a great view of the sea, beach and old course. One small thing, the coffee and cake special in afternoon allows for no deviation. Plain coffee or tea or nothing. Our German guests were perplexed as to why there was no choice of coffee... More

We stayed in one of the new suites and although it was a basement and had no views of the bay the privacy was excellent. The suite was large and everything in it was of a very high standard including a very large and comfortable bed. We had dinner in the Hotel and with superb views over the bay it... More

We arrived here on a very cold rainy day during unseasonably cold weather. The hotel did seem slightly tired at reception and this did carry through to the tiny room. The room however had an amazing view of the golf course and sea beyond that. The staff couldn't have been nicer and that included all of them. The included breakfast... More

Firstly thanks for the honest feedback. Arrival on a cold rainy Scottish "Summer" day is not a good start!. However, "amazing views and all staff who could not be nicer" should have helped to improve that perception. However, our Reception is next on our refurbishment list ( we have done a great deal in the ast 3 years with new... More

The Scores is placed in a lovely setting over looking St Andrews bay and the far reaching West Sands. I found the staff very polite and friendly which made my stay a pleasurable experience. The hotel was very clean throughout with a daily freshen up of the room. I would describe the hotel as traditionally Scottish which suits the setting.... More

Looking at the other reviews of this hotel I feel slightly mean in not giving it a good rating as it clearly appeals to most of its guests. I wasn't there for golf so I wasn't distracted though so I feel my review is unbiased. This is a very old fashioned hotel though not in a good way. It has... More

While I was disappointed to read your review, we always try to use a negative response to improve our operation.

Our stay was a one night stopover that we wish had been longer. First impressions were excellent with very helpful and friendly check-in and then to a well decorated and equipped room with a great view over the bay. Although not golfers, the historic pictures in the grill room were well worth a look. The only downside we found was... More

Many thanks for your positive feedback on your recent stay.. However, I was disappointed to read your comment about the hot items on the Buffet and I am personally reviewing this with my Chef and the Service team. You may not have been aware that apart from the 12 hot items in the chafing dishes on the Buffet, we can... More
