St. Andrews Golf Hotel

St. Andrews Golf Hotel owned and run by the Hughes family was fashioned from two stately Victorian houses located on the Scores of the old town with breathtaking views over St Andrews Bay and Links. Their Scottish Tourist Board 4 Star rating tells you a lot about the quality you can expect during your stay with the Hughes family.

The elegent bar, adjacent to the reception has French windows opening onto the patio and small ornamental garden, which is sheltered and south facing. Golfing prints and an array of past Open Championships hint at the provenance.

The Golf Hotel is a short stroll from both the golf links and the shops. Best of all, this is a walk-about town, so cars can be forgotten.

Outside the town centre is the Botanic Garden, which is well worth visiting, and just outside St Andrews is Craigtoun Country Park. There are a number of museums, a theatre, cinema and an arts centre, but the best pastime of all is just to enjoy the atmosphere created by the medieval layout of the old town and the almost spiritual presence - even non golfers can sense the atmosphere around the Starter's Hut and the 18th green - of the Old Course.
