Over that much money, my room was facing the road not the sea.
Greyfriars Hotel is centrally located in St Andrews. Ideally located within easy walking distance to many University Departments and buildings, shops, The Old Course.

We were right in the middle of town, but with a quiet room with a view of the strand. Easy walking to the university, comfortable, very friendly hospitable staff, great breakfast!!

Really liked St Andrew. My husband was keen to see the golf course and photos were taken at the 18th hole. He went to the golf museum which he said was very good ! I went upstairs for a coffee and enjoyed the lovely views of the golf course and beach.
The shopping area is good in the town too.
The university accommodation was adequate and a good price for St Andrews.
We had a very nice day there.

This is a great and friendly town, which is very crowded all year around with either students or tourists. It is very clean and a joy to walk around. Worth visiting the town centre on foot and just enjoying the small shops and boutiques as well as the ancient college buildings.
St Andrews is a small town, especially the tourist part and so it shouldn't take more than 2 hours to walk around the entire town and see all its sights. However, give it a day to actually go into all the key tourist attractions. Then just spend time drinking in the ambience of the town.
Its worth the time to explore many of St Andrews back alleys and small lanes and if you got the time, take Lade Braes Walk down to the Botanic Gardens along Kinness Burn (probably 30 minutes from start of walk).
Parking is pretty limited in the town, so best to park in your lodgings and walk in or get a bus (very regular due to student community). Most of the town is at 20 MPH if you do drive and has speed bumps everywhere. Many of the side roads are narrow and if you must park in town, most of the roads have Parking Meters.
Nice beaches near the golf course (West Sands) and below the cliffs (East Sands) although the water is quite cold most of the year around.

This should be on every golfers bucket list.
This should be on every golfers bucket list. You really get into the feel of what links golf is. It's also a University town so lots of students abound but great pubs and restaurants and shopping make for lots to see and do.
Make sure to visit the cathedral ruins (stone from which built the town) and the nearby town of Anstruther for great fish and chips at "The Wee Chippy".

We came up to look at the university.
We came up to look at the university. Arrived later in the afternoon and stayed two nights. We don’t play golf, but walked all around the town giving it a thorough overview, and even had a dip at West Sands. It’s bracing!!! 😳Everyone we met was delightful - engaging and smiling. It felt like we’d stumbled across Brigadoon! An antidote to the troubles we all seem to face on the daily news, the air is clean and fresh, the history palpable.it is a genuine town that embraces its visitors and makes them feel very welcome.

In addition to picture perfect St Andrews, steeped in history and many many happy uni memories, there are lots of pretty towns and villages along the East Neuk coast to explore. We took a boat to Bass Rock on our journey to the Offgrid Hideaway at Cambo, stopping off in North Berwick and squeezing in a walk up The Law to take in spectacular views of Fife. I’d recommend having a bite to eat at The Ship Inn at Elie and the Giddy Gannet in St Monan’s - they have divine cinnamon buns and the best coffee and ambience around, plus sumptuous smoked salmon and bacon sarnies all prepared with friendly professional service. Loved the coastal walk from Anstruther to Cambo Sands. Bought some great handmade oilskin bags and a bespoke hat from the maker at Fabrik in Crail, and discovered a gorgeous bracelet and drawing, both from The Beehive. Lovely walks around Cambo gardens including the incredible walled garden. And no midges!
The place is gorgeous, very tastefully decorated, super comfortable beds, beautiful bathrooms, a wonderful experience overall. We spent the last night of our 1 week trip in Scotland here and, after having seen a series of 4-star accommodations in various places in Scotland,, this was by far our favorite. Needless to say the location is perfect, right on the main street of the town, close to every nice restaurant and shop worth visiting. This place really feels like a home away from home and not a hotel, we loved it.
By far the best hotel I have stayed at in Scotland. Every detail is well thought from eye masks/shades, black out shutters, amazing bathroom amenities, fresh milk for tea/coffee, high quality linen (obsessed with the pillows and how comfortable the bed was) and overall design.
Charlie was quick to answer any questions we had prior to our arrival.
Bonus points for the fruit (all day) and bakeries in (morning) by the foyer.
Room was exactly as the photos in hotel/room description.
The hotel was very central.
The kinnetles wellness centre was nice and private ,very clean .
The only downfall was that the steam room was out of action.
The staff in the wellness centre were lovely.
Reception staff on arrival - the girl was very pleasant and very welcoming.
The restaurant was shut for refurbishment .
Great location and parking is close to the hotel .
Pubs and restaurant all close by.
Great location right by the Old Course. We stayed the week before The Open and were able to walk out on the course every day. We walked everywhere in St. Andrews.
The room was comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Scottish pancakes at breakfast were fabulous. After eggs most mornings of our trip, it was a calorie splurge. So worth it!
I visited my daughter who came here for a study abroad program in St. Andrews. We loved the room with 3 beds, exceeding my expectation. The breakfast was excellent too. My kids & I enjoyed it very much. The location is great, in the center of the town, very close to everything.
Everything about this property is perfect!!!! First of all it's beautiful!!! The location is perfect, the house is so spacious, it has everything you need and is immaculate. We will try to stay here every visit to see our daughter at St. Andrews. It's absolutely the best!!
The warmth of the hotel and the lady at the front desk. Im sure i looked a little worse for the wear as a foreign traveler showing up after dark, but she was kind and welcoming.
The morning staff was just as sweet and my breakfast of eggs royale was incredible!
Norma and Alan were the perfect hosts, both so warm, welcoming, and helpful. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and beautiful with lovely gardens and a great view of St. Andrews. Breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. We wish we could have stayed longer!
the location was very good central location which served us very well. we were attending a wedding at St Salvators with reception at the Old Course Hotel and it was halfway between the other locations where friends and family were staying.
Everything was absolutely perfect. Nikola was very attentive. Answered all our questions...checked us in with a great welcome basket. Apartment was very clean. Perfect amount of room. Just a couple of minutes outside of St. Andrews.
We have been a few times in recent months but stayed in the new quarter on this occasion which was superb. Rooms much higher standard. Spa was fantastic yet again. Probably the best of any other 5 star hotels we have stayed in Scotland.
Everything was as promised. Plus the location was quiet, parking was off-street, the price was fine given the tourist season, and we were reasonably close to Saint Andrews' attractions.
Always book this hotel when in Saint Andrews. It’s a pity it’ll be taken over by new owners and will be closed for a couple of years. We’ll miss the old Scores charm.
The breakfast was amazing, the location was even better and the staff were very pleasant and so helpful. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone else.
Excellent location, free parking, clean basic accommodation. Within walking distance to Old Course Hotel and beach, 15mins walk into town centre. No complaints
