Our stay was delightful, as the hotel provided exceptional spa services and breathtaking views overlooking the Old Course. The rooms were luxurious and spacious, allowing for a comfortable stay. However, the dining experience fell short of expectations, as food at the restaurants was average at best. Overall, it's a relaxing getaway, but there's some room for improvement in the dining options.

I had a memorable stay at the Old Course Hotel, which is beautifully located near the iconic St Andrews Old Course. The luxury of the rooms and the serene atmosphere were standout features. While the dining experiences were mostly enjoyable, the breakfast service left much to be desired, and I experienced noise issues during the night. Overall, the price aligns with what you would expect from a luxury hotel, but improvements in service could elevate the experience significantly.
