I love this hotel. It is luxury on a large scale. Nothing is small, squashed or cramped. The vast 50 ft atrium is a perfect venue for the vast Scottish breakfast buffet that never fails to delight, and equally suited for elegant afternoon teas quietly served to intimate groups of family or friends relaxing on squashy sofas and in high-backed winged armchairs. The bedrooms are big enough to throw a party and the bathrooms palatial. Situated as it is on the top of a hilltop, overlooking the sweeping bay of the ancient town of St Andrews, this is my go-to hotel when I feel the need to breathe, and escape the irritations and accumulated stress of everyday life. It never fails to deliver.
