Fabulous location overlooking the Old Course and New Course and then out to sea over the beautiful beach.

Lynne United Kingdom

stunning setting. Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Room was lovely, very comfortable with an amazing view of the golf course and sea. We had breakfast delivered to our room and it was well presented and delicious. We were celebrating a special birthday and this hotel did not disappoint. Christmas decorations had just been put up as we were arriving and made it extra magical.

Sarah United Kingdom

The room was awesome, view of the 17th and 18th and the ocean. super comfortable! The staff was great, loved the gift store.

Robert United States of America

it is an expensive five star hotel with the amenities and service to match. expensive but worth it. Road Hole restaurant ( on 17 th fairway of the old course) was an exceptional Michelin type experience. even if hotel is too expensive, make reservations for the restaurant bb

Mary United States of America

Room was updated and awesome. Dinner and breakfast were great. Service was great and parking was so easy. What's not to like. We could not believe how nice it was . Probably the best service we had on our. 10 day trip. Jigger inn was fun and the Road Hole restaurant was spectacular. Service made it even that much better.
