Amazing staff!
I brought my husband here for his birthday and to play at St Andrew’s. The team at Rusacks made it such a memorable stay for us. They were very warm and welcoming from the offset and gave us a tour of facilities and a walk through of the grounds. They even had great quality clubs to lend him for his game. We were treated with a bottle of champagne to celebrate and a bag of treats for our pup. The room was beautiful with a great view of the old course. My husband was a big fan of the man sized towels and robes which many hotels miss out on. 5/5 would stay again thanks to the great team there!

Great Location and Property
Great location in one of the most picturesque villages in Scotland. The 18th hole is just outside the back door and the road hole is right there too. Great for a peaceful early morning walk, even if you aren't a golfer. The stroll down the street along water to the ancient cathedral is a beautiful walk as well. Overall the food, location and room were first rate and some of the best accommodations we had in our week in Scotland.

Wonderful hotel!
My family and I loved our stay here! The rooms were so beautiful and the views we had of the golf course were lovely, perfect for the golfers in our family! The staff were very friendly and were always ready to help us or answer any questions we had. We had a wonderful time!

One of the best
Truly one of the best hotel stays. Our room was great with views over the 18th fairway of the Old Course at St Andrews. Staff were super friendly and helpful. A real golfers paradise.

Very unique hotel- it’s not a 5 star- but maybe in 1800s it was. I liked the quirkiness. Staff were very nice! Overall- great stay. Possibly communicate private functions. We chose this hotel because we wanted to dine on rooftop. Ooops- private function closed!

The property is in the perfect location and the front desk staff made the stay even more amazing. We would definitely return and I would have given it five stars on every level if it didn't ten minutes to get hot water (not eco-friendly) or having dirty plates both mornings during breakfast. Everything else was exceptional!

8/10 Very good

Lovely stay. Comfortable room and bed. One issue was the blinds were not fully functional and needed repair. And the inability to plug in the coffee tea equipment in a convenient spot was frustrating. I understand it’s an older building but the furniture should be set up and chosen so that you don’t need to move furniture or rearrange the desk to make coffee! Charming property but I would go for a larger room next time! Great staff. Thank you!
