I love this small hotel in the quiet village of Crail. The staff are excellent and extremely helpful and friendly. And the food! Even if you don't/can't stay here you must come and try their delicious meals. This was my second visit and there will be more.

Alastair United Kingdom

good choices and well presented. Service excellent. However the room set up in keeping with present restrictions lacks what could be termed "homeliness" for the very few guests who were present. Coming up to the winter period I would suggest some "warmth" scenario.

Dorothy United Kingdom

The food was excellent The staff were ver helpful. It was in a good position in the town. They also Kept to the Covid rules

John United Kingdom

Given the covid situation, the breakfast was varied and well presented. Surroundings were clean and pleasant and the staff were very professional.

Joan United Kingdom

Lovely old Inn type hotel with lots of character and a good team of staff.

George United Kingdom

Breakfast was excellent more than enough on plate service very good plenty of choice

Robert United Kingdom

It was a lovely room with everything you need including a fan which was so needed it was a scorching few Days . The lovely lady who served us breakfast was so helpful and friendly 😊we had our wee jack russell with us and she loved it too.

Jane United Kingdom

The Golf Hotel was perfectly place, we took the bus to St Andrews from outside the Hotel and walked back along the coast path. The staff allowed us to book in late due to the time it took us. Great steak pie and chip to finish the day of walking.

Gordon United Kingdom

It was centrally located and staff could not be any more helpful.
