Overlooking the famous Old Course in St Andrews centre, Rusacks St Andrews features valet parking is available and free WiFi throughout the property.

The rooms each have a modern bathroom with free designer toiletries and a hairdryer. Rooms also feature a flat-screen satellite TV and tea/coffee making facilities.

First the hotel itself. I personally think the hotel's location is excellent, and the interior of the lobby is very cosy. They have all the necessary facilities including a nice fitness centre. I had breakfast at the bridge as well and the food and coffee were nice. The view from where I was seated was beautiful. Second, the staff. I only stayed for a night so I did not interact with the staff much but everyone I did interact with were all so friendly, nice and helpful. They made me feel welcomed. Lastly, the room! if you're able I definitely recommend getting a room with a balcony overlooking the incredible view. The room itself was a very nice size. it was spotless, had everything I needed, and the bed had to be one of the comfiest warmest beds I have ever slept on.

At St. Andrews' oldest coaching inn, enjoy open log fires, award winning food and really friendly people to look after you.

The room was spacious & the bathroom was especially roomy. The shower was hot with good pressure. The view off the back deck was picturesque with hills & grazing sheep. The on-site restaurant & cozy bar are exceptional.

    The Garden Flat at Kincaple house was everything we was hoping for and so much more. Tucked away from the main streets of St Andrews yet a 2 min drive the heart of all the town. A stones throw away from the beach, which was lovely to see out of the windows first thing in the morning. The house was clean and tidy and had literally every amenity you could possibly need for a weekend away with the family. The design is cosy and authentic and give you a really homely feeling. We have had the best time and will certainly be visiting again.
