The beds were a little hard for our taste. Our pre-booked vegan dinner on the first night was a little disappointing.

A lovely relaxing experience with excellent friendly staff. The comfortable room had nice views over the lovely gardens. Breakfast was good. The hotel is situated a short way out of St Andrews in a lovely situation but within very easy distance to the town.

Service was slow in the bar and restaurant within the bar. They seemed short staffed and slightly overwhelmed when it got busy. Food was good though when it arrived.

We stayed in a shepherds hut in the grounds and it was lovely and quirky and very warm. The bath is gorgeous and the kitchen stocked well with tea and coffee facilities and homemade shortbread. Unfortunately the blind was broken on the front door which restricted privacy at night but aside from that no complaints with the hut at all. The staff in the main hotel were helpful and friendly on arrival and took our bags round to the hut on a golf buggy and we were guided to the hut. There’s sufficient parking outside the main building.

The menu options for lunch and dinner are a bit limited; having more variety would make it even better.

The cottage features details that are both thoughtfully considered and highly practical.

Wish it was a smidge closer to St Andrews

Helpful and friendly staff in a beautiful setting. Comfortable turret room overlooking the stunning garden.

The decor is starting to look a bit tired - carpets in particular

Staff were really the highlight - so friendly, accommodating and could not do enough for you. They make it. The hotel itself has a wonderful vibe and feeling with wonderful gardens.

What a beautiful hotel! The gardens seen from our Turret room window were lovely. The room was very comfortable…especially the bed. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The weather was grand, and we enjoyed the balcony. The distance from St. Andrews was nice. It was quiet and peaceful without the traffic noise. I’d love to stay here again!

A fridge in the room would have been beneficial. In the short time between initially considering booking the hotel and actually making the booking, the price had increased by £120 for a two night stay in a standard room. This was excessive and made the stay less good value.

The hotel staff are very welcoming and the hotel, itself, is tastefully decorated and the rooms well appointed. The gardens are extensive and lovely. The hotel is well situated a few miles away from St Andrews.

This is the cosiest, most lovely cottage I’ve ever been into. We stayed at the Goldfinch house and it was a delight: it had all we needed to have a pleasurable stay. The main premise is also wonderful and the breakfast is rich and delicious. We were extremely sad to leave!

Perhaps there could have been more fresh fruit on display?

The breakfast was good but the coffee was weak and tasteless.

Breakfast was excellent

Bed size was smaller than anticipated and made for an uncomfortable night

Staff was lovely and accommodating, we arrived early and they stored our luggage, when we returned our luggage was waiting in our room.

The young waitress in the breakfast room was a bit short with me. But they were busy. Staff didn’t quite match the high standard of the hotel which was otherwise perfection. That would be my only criticism.

The gardens absolutely beautiful and their dedication to sustainability impressive. Kitchen garden absolutely inspiring. Food is also amazing.
