Looking out over the famous fairways of the world’s oldest golf course, the Old Course Hotel is the ultimate place to stay for golfers visiting St Andrews’ legendary links.

Previously voted Scotland's Leading Golf Resort and Luxury Resort Hotel of the Year, The Old Course Hotel is a top-class facility, worthy of its glorious position adjoining the world's most famous golf course. Guests will enjoy one of the country's finest spa facilities, fine dining and the marvellous Jigger Inn pub, a true example of 5-star luxury from start to finish.

We certainly had t he "wow" feeling when we entered our room. Superb throughout. We tried the Road Hole bar for coffee, the Jigger Inn for dinner and the Road Hole restaurant for breakfast; all fantastic. Having the full breakfast overlooking the old course was really special. All in all a first class experience.

Superb stay in this top quality hotel. Room very comfortable and the staff were all excellent. The situation with guests only being allowed to use the Spa between certain times unless you upgrade or pay £40 isn't what you would expect from a 5 star hotel. There is the leisure pool which is fine but surely guests should be allowed to use all the facilities - that's my only criticism.

The hotel facilities are excellent and the general atmosphere is of a top hotel without being too formal. The food was superb at dinner and breakfast with attentive staff. Everything in the room was perfect with a very comfortable bed and a good shower.
