    Nothing.

    Brilliant stay from start to finish. The only challenge was the early morning light through the blinds — but with a lovely room, gorgeous shower, excellent freshly cooked breakfasts, and restaurant food worth staying in for, it’s hard to complain. The pub is run by dedicated volunteers who really care, and Roxy deserves a special mention - full of energy, warm, attentive, and a master of those thoughtful touches that make you feel like the most important person in the place. She doesn’t just go the extra mile, she makes it the best part of the journey.

    Just some feedback: Service at breakfast was a bit inconsistent. Despite ordering what we wanted for breakfast the night before on a menu sheet which were requested to do, we received wrong items which had to be changed on both mornings. However it did not spoil our stay.

    So handy for all surrounding attractions. Lovely property we were made very welcome by the lovely staff. Great parking.

    Unfortunately we weren’t able to have lunch or evening meal at the property on the days I’d booked. I hadn’t checked this before booking… and I didn't see it mentioned on booking.com

    Very comfortable; spacious family room. Lovely breakfast. Friendly staff. Good play park for children to the rear of the property.

    They need room darkening curtains. We woke up at 4/5 am each morning. It was rough after going to bed late. It truly is necessary. I did tell the staff when we checked out.

    Our room was lovely. Well appointed and a large bathroom.

    1 of the windows didn’t open which may be more of a problem if it was the height of the summer. Our weather was cooler so didn’t affect us too much.

    Beautiful room. Large, very comfortable bed. Everything provided you could need including robes and slippers.

    To be honest there was nothing we didn't like! Initially I was concerned about the distance from St sndrews which is just so expensive but when we heard about excellent bus service that was great. We didn't have to worry about parking in St andrews so we had a nice wonder round then dinner and a few cocktails then headed to bus station for return bus which runs till around 11pm. My Strathclyde over 60 bus pass was accepted so free bus!!

    It was delightful. Beautiful room, nice new walk in shower bathroom. Robes slippers. Staff so friendly snd helpful especially Roxy and ulrika at breakfast. Food was great. Breakfast included was superb. Dinner was delicious and very well priced. Lovely walk down to the beach about 15 mins. There is an amazing burger shack public toilets snd a sauna!! Highly recommend this place for great value. Get the bus outside straight to St andrews or in the other direction to Crail anstruther Pittenweem etc. Good timely service.

    There is nothing that I disliked.

    The location was in a quaint village not far from St. Andrews. The Inn was picturesque and all rooms updated. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. The bar and restaurant were terrific. The Sunday roast dinner was absolutely delicious...one of the best meals we had while in Scotland. I could not have asked for a better experience and am so happy we booked this hotel. I would definitely recommend it to many. One of the fascinating things is that the entire village helped it become one of the best inns in Scotland.
