We stayed there the night of our wedding and couldn't believe the service we received considering it was a 5 star hotel. The bar was closed by 1pm and although the hotel had the right to close the bar whenever they wanted it was the attitude of the staff that made this more frustrating - we arrived at 1.20am and...

We had a recent stay (only one might) at the Fairmont, terrific rooms, great location & great golf. The rooms were spacious & had everything you needed. The bar closed at 03-00am which left a few disgruntled wedding guests unable to carry on through the night suggesting they'd been told it was "last man standing service" At breakfast came the...

Stayed at the Fairmont for one night in the middle of a six night trip around Scotland for my partners 'milestone' birthday. Did lots of planning beforehand and kept this particular nights stay as a surprise thinking it was a bit of a treat and rather a lot more money than the other guest houses that we had chosen for...

Stayed on a number of occasions. Had a nice junior suite with views over St Andrews. Shuttle Bus no longer runs at night. Restaurants in hotel either like sitting in an airport or severely over priced. Pool and gym are very crowded in the early morning and between 5&7 with leisure club members. Lots of things wrong in room on... More

We stayed recently as a family of three. The room was very large (400sq ft) and well-appointed. Arrival was smooth and efficient and our room ready even though we arrived early. The hotel itself is looking slightly dated and we had some minor issues with the standard of our room. There was a hardwood floor in the area of the... More

We booked a night to return to St Andrews for a university reunion. I was a bit worried that with our three month old baby it would be difficult. Especially as this hotel is quite far from the town. The hotel was great. We pulled up outside and we were unloaded and in our room in no time. I returned... More

Huge rooms with very comfortable beds, plenty of storage space and an easy to work safe. Only downside was the air con in the room always seemed to be on, even though we thought we had turned it off. Buffet breakfast is a great idea, caters for all needs with staff happy to chat. Swimming pool is good, perfect for... More

I have stayed here a few times now and have been very impressed. The rooms are wonderful, with very comfortable beds. Food in the hotel is top class, especially the breakfast, the choices were wonderful. The views are fantastic especially on a clear spring day.
