Spent Hogmanay at The Rusacks. It was a fantastic experience which I would highly recommend to anyone. Our room was a junior suite overlooking the Old Course and R&A and was lovely. The meal was outstanding and as our table was situated in one of the bay windows of the restaurant again the view was great - even at night. Our meal was followed by a ceilidh, which was great fun. The staff here are fantastic and the restaurant is superbly run - even on a hectic night like Hogmanay. This 4 star hotel puts many 5 stars to shame!

We stayed 1 night - class hotel - class food - class views.

Service was of a top quality - we were able to check-in at 10.45am which was great.

There is a small enough car-park attached to the hotel but they alow double parking as long as you leave the keys with reception.

Reception very friendly and knowledgeable -no leisure centre etc but otherwise very comfy..

Breakfast is a gourmet feast -buffet & hot options ..top notch..

Hotel is full of nice annex rooms ..highly recommended..

We stayed in the Rusacks on a Saturday night while attending a friend's wedding. I booked early and got a double room on lastminute.com for £100. We also managed to wangle breakfast out of the hotel direct!

The location is fantastic, just a short walk into the centre of St Andrews and great views onto the golf course from the north side of the hotel, including from the breakfast room.

Unfortunately our room (119) didn't have a view, other than of the side of another building! The room itself was fine, big comfy bed, flatscreen tv including some cable channels. There was also a massive shower in the bathroom which was great. However, the room was right beside a draughty fire escape and the bathroom and side of the room which was against this wall were absolutely freezing. The room was also located above the kitchen and we were woken at 6.45am by the jazz/swing classic 'How D'ya Like Your Eggs in the Morning?' being blasted at full volume for some unknown reason.

Breakfast itself tasted lovely and I had the best black pudding I've ever eaten however the service was appallingly slow. It took a over 10 mins for our order to be taken and 15-20 mins for the food to actually arrive.

The decor of the hotel is very twee and Scottish which no doubt appeals to the clientele it's aimed at, however attention to detail and the comfort of guests wouldn't go amiss.

The Rusacks hotel is in an excellent position for both the town centre and the golf courses. There is a small car park at the back of the hotel with further free on-street parking close by. We stayed in November and couldn't get into the hotel car park so I imagine it's vitually impossible in the height of tourist season in the summer.

The hotel has a wonderful reception area, open lobby with comfortable seating around a large fireplace, the bar and restaurant also offer fantastic views over the Old Course, beach and sea. Check in was very frendly with the receptionist offering good advice on pubs and directions to restaurants in St. Andrews.

The only slight disappointment was the room, probably one of the smallest double rooms that I have ever stayed in. The room was clean and functional although a little dated, but I guess it served its function.
