Review
Certainly the most luxurious five-star hotel in the historic university town of St Andrews, the Old Course Hotel is situated just five minutes walk from the heart of the town and enjoys a spectacular location overlooking the famous 17th "Road Hole" on the Old Course. Boasting superb facilities and excellent service, the Old Course Hotel is one of Scotland's leading hotels and for those seeking that extra bit of pampering, there is nowhere finer to stay when visiting the Home of Golf. Somewhat unusually for a hotel of this standard, the atmosphere is far from pretentious and you are assured a warm welcome in the best traditions of Scottish hospitality.
All of the 102 en-suite guestrooms and 32 suites have been designed to offer a welcoming haven and provide unrivalled views over either the Old Course or the surrounding countryside, while each is appointed to a very high standard and boasts marbled bathrooms and plush furnishings. From a culinary perspective, the Old Course Hotel offers a unique choice of experiences. Guests may choose between fine dining in the Road Hole Grill and informal meals in the Jigger Inn or Conservatory, while the Sands Seafood Bar & Restaurant offers a menu with a strong maritime influence. The perfect 19th-hole pint can be enjoyed in the Jigger Inn and the award winning Road Hole Bar offers a selection of Scotland's finest whiskies from some 119 distilleries.
Perfect for the discerning golfing visitor, the Old Course Hotel boasts its own championship golf course in the form of the Dukes Course, which was designed by former Open Champion, Peter Thompson. A perfect complement to St. Andrews famous links courses, the Dukes Course offers a serious challenge and should not be in any way dismissed as a resort course. As one would expect from a five-star hotel, the facilities provided are second to none. The Spa offers the expected array of services, while a team of therapists provide the best in health and beauty treatments.
