4 out of 5

Lovely building set in beautiful wooded parkland

Pros: The dinner menu was fabulous and although not able to be served in the Orangerie was a lovely experience all round.
Cons: Cleaning of bathroom floor and surrounds,shower head required some maintenance
Location: Coastal villages ,St Andrews and Edinburgh easily accessible
Independently owned hotel whose main attraction would be as an excellent wedding venue, thus ,understandably, the facilities available to other guests ,i.e. dining and breakfasting in the Orangerie not possible as advertised. Being a Georgian building there is no lift so anyone with mobility problems might find the amount of stairs challenging. The room was adequate although if I was booking again I woold stipulate not Room 311 as the noise of an ?extracter fan outside made for a disturbed night . I found all members of staff obliging ,professional and friendly.
