We stayed at the hotel just before Christmas as we had purchased an internet voucher where we paid 50% of the full price for dinner bed and breakfast.

There was supposed to be a function on at the hotel that night which we were told had been cancelled. So the hotel was pretty quiet which we were happy about.

It's a country house hotel outside St Andrews and so not walking distance from the town centre.

In general the hotel decor was very nice although the staircases are starting to look tired with a couple of large score marks on the wallpaper.

Our room was on the top floor and looked as if it had been recently refurbished. It was spacious and very nicely furnished. The bed was also very comfortable but could be a little soft for some people.

Dinner was great. I had a fillet steak form the grill menu which I have to say was excellent. My wife had pasta which was very good as well. The service was also pretty good although there were only 4 other tables occupied.

All in all we had a great stay, however, there is no way I'd pay full price for this. They are approaching 5 star prices and, at that level, I would go somewhere else before coming back here....

We stayed one night in the Turret room in the Rufflets hotel in December 2011. The room was lovely and well-equipped with WIFI, a whirlpool bath and homemade shortbread! We enjoyed a beautiful meal in the restaurant with great service, coffee in the drawing room beside a roaring fire, then a cosy night in comfortable bed (and our very own hot water bottle placed by staff during the 'turn down' service!) Breakfast was very nice. We would return to this hotel due to good location, clean and comfortable rooms and great food/friendly and professional service. Would recommend!

We stayed at the Rufflets overnight and enjoyed a fantastic meal in the Dining Room.
We enjoyed walking in the beautiful gardens. Everything was so peacefull.

As a party of 8, plus baby and dog, we stayed in the Kinness Lodge for 5 nights which incorporated a nephew's wedding held in the Garden Suite as well as staying on for New Year's Eve celebrations. The hotel itself was an excellent choice for a wedding and reception. The wedding meal was very good and the staff were attentive and welcoming. The Lodge was ideal for our requirements - the 4 en-suite bedrooms were well appointed and much appreciated by our family group. The large, modern lounge with a 50 in. flat screen tv was very comfortable and the kitchen had all mod.cons with an adjoining larder and utility room. Set in lovely grounds it was a peaceful getaway.
