    Everything was excellent: accommodations, breakfast, staff. It’s located about a mile from the city center which we liked. It was quiet and we had a car. Beautiful gardens.

    The setting for the Rufflets is rural on the outskirts on the West side of St Andrews with views up the coast towards Dundee. Clearly, it has been modernised in the last few years and the inside is a very different feel from the more traditional...

    We stayed in the Coach house room #2. It was recently remodeled, large and very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing and the gardens on property are beautiful. We liked the location being a bit away from St Andrews.
