The staff at this hotel are fantastic, we were met by Dave the concierge and what a welcome we were given and this continued throughout our stay with all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble, Maureen was lovely, even was prepared to watch our dog whilst we went for a meal. We had a small intimate wedding in the... More

Stayed here for a conference in May. Food was good, service was efficient, rooms nice. No complaints. But it lacks a bit of atmosphere, it's a little sterile and felt empty despite there being more than 150 guests in the hotel. I'd go back - it's nice, and the grounds are stunning. But it has the feel of a huge... More

The grounds surrounding this hotel are spectacular, and I enjoyed a lovely ocean view from my window. The room itself was comfortable and large by UK standards, but it was not extraordinary. The lobby and public areas are vast, but not particularly pretty -- in fact, they remind me more of a slightly tacky convention hotel, not a high end... More

We stayed there the night of our wedding and couldn't believe the service we received considering it was a 5 star hotel. The bar was closed by 1pm and although the hotel had the right to close the bar whenever they wanted it was the attitude of the staff that made this more frustrating - we arrived at 1.20am and...

We had a recent stay (only one might) at the Fairmont, terrific rooms, great location & great golf. The rooms were spacious & had everything you needed. The bar closed at 03-00am which left a few disgruntled wedding guests unable to carry on through the night suggesting they'd been told it was "last man standing service" At breakfast came the...

Stayed at the Fairmont for one night in the middle of a six night trip around Scotland for my partners 'milestone' birthday. Did lots of planning beforehand and kept this particular nights stay as a surprise thinking it was a bit of a treat and rather a lot more money than the other guest houses that we had chosen for...

Stayed on a number of occasions. Had a nice junior suite with views over St Andrews. Shuttle Bus no longer runs at night. Restaurants in hotel either like sitting in an airport or severely over priced. Pool and gym are very crowded in the early morning and between 5&7 with leisure club members. Lots of things wrong in room on... More

We stayed recently as a family of three. The room was very large (400sq ft) and well-appointed. Arrival was smooth and efficient and our room ready even though we arrived early. The hotel itself is looking slightly dated and we had some minor issues with the standard of our room. There was a hardwood floor in the area of the... More
