Loved our stay at the Rusacks. Thr room was beautiful and spacious with amazing views over the golf course and beach. Could relax in our room for hours. I had the most comfortable sleep even the pillows were a dream. The staff were all friendly, polite and welcoming. Would highly recommend going at Christmastime. The location is ideal close to the beach and the town. Thank you for a wonderful stay

10/10

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.
