    Charming rural property with good meal options on site.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The floors in our bedroom accommodation were very noisy. They squeaked and creaked making it impossible to move around at night without disturbing each other. The floor itself appeared scuffed and worn. There was a strong smell of industrial strength cleaner in both the corridor and the room upon arrival. This was quite unpleasant and a bit overwhelming, but did at least give a clear indication of cleanliness. There were no available power outlets near the bed. No USB outlet for charging devices, which is a nice bonus we have found at a few other places we have been. The lighting in the bedroom was poor - the window did provide natural light, but as the room was large it did not reach well into the inner part of the room. The bathroom, while modern, seemed to lack a bit of finesse in the finish, but was certainly functional. Breakfast did not meet all of our group's expectations, but was in a pleasant and well lit room. The mushrooms were rather salty, and the porridge also was too salty for my husband. There were good breakfast options, and enough to meet everybody's needs. There were artificial flowers on the breakfast tables. Flowers are nice, and I imagine that artificial ones are easy to maintain and avoid allergies, but I still miss fresh flowers when it is summer. This is of course only a personal preference. My daughter and I usually like to go for a walk in the morning before breakfast, but did not feel that the country road was safe enough to do this.

    Staff were very welcoming on arrival, and provided plenty of information. Email contact via Booking.com kept us up to date with what to expect and prompted us to confirm and make reservation for dinner before arrival, and for breakfast when we checked in. Our room was a generous size, and the bathroom was as well. A spa bath in the bathroom was appreciated. Bedroom door felt solid and secure. The bedroom decor was pleasant, although more masculine than feminine. There was a wardrobe and chair, and the TV was a good size and easy to view. Comfortable bed, and the view from the window was of the property itself, which is quite charming. Dinner was in an attractive restaurant on the property, and was well prepared. We enjoyed our meals, which were very tasty and well presented. Drink selection was good. Breakfast was satisfactory, and in an attractive warm toned room. Table service provided. An attractive rural location, and quiet. It is a place I would be happy to recommend.

    The only thing with having the dogs is that you really need to have a car as the Inn sits on a busy main road so you can’t walk them direct from the Inn. I had a car so no problem.

    Found this little gem of a place on booking.com as I needed a stop with my 2 dogs. Spotlessly clean rooms, great wee garden area for dogs and absolutely wonderful staff. Just 5 miles from St Andrews. The food was outstanding if a little expensive.

    Returned back at 10.40pm on our 2nd night to find bar locked up and no sign of any staff. Spoiled our expectations of a night cap prior to turning in. Also problem with shower in our newly refurbished en-suite.

    Staff were all fantastic. Very helpful and couldn't do enough for us. Had an enjoyable meal in the restaurant on our first evening.

    If you have a room located at the very front on the hotel which is very close to the road, traffic noise can be loud, especially when HGV's pass. Rooms located at the rear of the hotel are not affected that much. Wi-Fi signal was poor in the room I stayed in N.o 14.

    Very spacious rooms, well appointed, friendly staff. Good quality food. Pleasant atmosphere.

    Very stiff safety hinges on the doors to our room made it hard work to come in and out when holding anything. Some minor defects in the bathroom needed attention, which I reported to Reception. The room rate was expensive for what it is, but that may be typical of East Fife during the golfing season? We paid less for better appointed hotel rooms in Galloway and Northumbria.

    Good spacious room with a wide and comfortable bed, very quiet too. Good breakfast. Very pleasant and helpful staff.

    The only issue where the hotel did not fully meet our needs was the lack of grounds to allow us to exercise our small dog who stayed with us.

    The staff very very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. Breakfast was excellent, as good a breakfast as I have had. Obviously freshly cooked to order and now Luke warm from a buffet.
