We arrived at the hotel having not booked anything for the night. The staff were very accommodating. The only downside was that we had a couple of noisy men in the room next door who woke us up early in the morning. Overall, the room was clean and spacious, perfect for what we wanted for the night.The breakfast menu had... More

Usually, when I visit St. Andrews, I'm staying with family, but there was no room at the family inn this time. Having booked the Ardgowan for others in the past, I thought it'd be worth trying in person - and wasn't disappointed. A couple in our party are (better be careful here in case they read it!) a wee bit... More

There are not many hotels in St Andrews. So I picked the cheapest one. There is always a risk with this, as it could mean it isn't very nice. This was not the case with Ardgowan. The location was superb. It is in the town centre, on the same road as one of the main high streets. It is a... More

Many thanks for your review on our hotel, it is always nice to read that our customers had a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Jim, and the entire staff of the Ardgowan Hotel, went above and beyond to ensure we had the most fabulous stay possible. From the moment we stepped foot in the door until we checked out, we were always treated with immense warmth and kindness. From reserving a taxi to Kittocks for our first round of golf to receiving a packed... More

We stayed 2 nights for a short break. Room was comfortable very quiet and a view across the water. The power shower was excellent. Plenty of tea and coffe in the room. Breakfast stopped at 9.15am which we thought was a bit early - 10am would be a better time to stop serving breakfast. Staff were very friendly and service... More

Many thanks for your kind review of our hotel. We are in the process of trying to review our breakfast times, but is proving difficult in deciding, so we can keep everyone happy, as we still have guests who want Breakfast at 7.15 and others that want it later at 9.15 and later. Again thaks for your kind review Gary More

We had a very pleasant, spacious room (no 31) on the top floor with views to the front and rear; however the bathroom was tiny: there is no bath and the shower was a very tight squeeze. Our main gripe though was that breakfast stopped at 9.15, even on a Sunday; when asked at checkout whether everything was alright I... More

As a last minute choice of towns to visit on a driving tour of Scotland, we found this to be a wonderful place to stay. The front desk manager was very helpful and welcoming. The rooms were compact but nicely decorated and comfortable. The meals we had in the attached restaurant were delicious and the service was great! Internet connections... More

We ended up a this hotel because it was handy at the time and the reviews said it was good. Well, here's our opinion. If you are reaaaaaally desperate to stay near the golf course as you intend to play golf but do not want to be too far away or pay a fortune to stay at the Old Course... More
