to get started.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating! The views were breathtaking.

Jacob, United States of America

Very good buffet breakfast with choices for hot course included. Easy walk to several restaurants and pubs.

Tony, Canada

I loved the location right next to the course and the beach. Such amazing views at breakfast.

Reilly, Spain

Loved the gracious welcome, entire staff and overall ambience of the hotel.

Chris, United States of America

The proximity to the golf course and West Sands, and the town in general

Frank, United Kingdom

Breakfast was outstanding Choices included full Scottish breakfast In addition to Cereals ham eggs cheese baked breads scones etc Service was excellent Our room was in the attic but it was cozy and well worth the climb because it overlooked the 18th hole and west sands beach

Irene, United States of America

Head chef and staff were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Good local knowledge.

Fraser, United Kingdom

This place is absolutely perfect for a dream golf vacation. Bordering the 18th fairway of the historic Old Course, you’re close to all the action. Enjoy breakfast in the morning watching the early birds try to secure a tee time. The staff were extremely helpful, friendly, and professional. The room was comfortable enough and had a rustic charm. Take time to enjoy the lounge and look at the artwork.

Lars, United States of America

Booking.com was the worst. I will never use your site again. The hotel room was dated and charged $200 more per night than the great fairmont hotel.

Kathleen, United States of America

Lovely stay and perfect location- great views of The Old Course! The bar atmosphere is nice and our dinner at Rocco was fantastic. The staff was very accommodating and helpful.
