“The most welcoming and personable hotel ever!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012
4
people found this review helpful

I stayed here in summer 2010 on the eve of my wedding. Whilst not luxurious it is steeped in golfing history and packed with character. When my best men and I were dressed up in our morning suits we sat down and had a drink in the bar. Sheena (hostess) took notice of the wedding party and put a few wedding songs on in the bar/ restaurant - and congratulated me in front of all the guests. She also wrote a good luck message on the notice board outside the hotel - which was seen by all the wedding guests as they made there way to St Salvatores. You simply don't get that level of personal service anywhere else. Many thanks to Dunvegan!

“The total package, The Dunvegan has it all!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

Nowhere better in all of Scotland. A 9-iron from the 18th green at The Old Course, The Dunvegan is the place to stay when in St. Andrews. I just returned from a golf trip in Scotland and while only scheduled to stay in St. Andrews for 4 days, I ended up there for two weeks. Jack, Sheena and the rest of the crew are the best I have seen and the food is fantastic. The rooms are perfect, and they have the best showers at any place I have ever stayed (very important after a round of links golf). Can't wait to go back.

“Great location for a golf vacation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

Sheena is a great hostess. Very accommodating to large and small groups of golfers. Location is great. Food is good. Nice quiet restaurant or you can eat in the bar which can be crowded and a little noisy, if that is what you prefer. You can meet some interesting local characters, as the establishment has a lot of local history. You can often meet some of the caddies from the old course. A lot of local knowledge that can be used both on and off the course. The only negative is parking. You need to stop in the street to pick up and drop off and find the nearest parking spot that you can.

“Ideal place for the golf Lover!”

Great location and atmosphere for golf lovers! My husband was like a kid in a candy store upon arrival to St. Andrews!! Was a little more expensive than what we wanted to spend but was well worth it! The bar attached to the hotel was a perfect spot to either sit outside and people watch or to grab a bite and a beer after an afternoon of golf!

“Perfectly wonderful stay in St. Andrews!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Eight golfing friends from Virginia spent a perfectly wonderful five days at the Dunvegan on our first ever trip to Scotland. The hotel is one block from the first tee on the Old Course at St. Andrews, so it could not be more convenient to golf, restaurants, and pubs; in short, everything eight guys could want on a golf vacation. We stayed in a three bedroom suite, complete with sitting room and kitchen. We did not cook, of course, prefering to have our breakfast in the hotel, along with two dinners. The food was excellent, and the service was superb. We finished our round each day in the Dunvegan's pub, a place for the rich and famous, and us too! (Sam Torrance was in having a drink one night while we were there). The hotel keepers, Sheena and Jack, were most accommodating, including helping to arrange tee times at several courses. Don't know if we will ever get back, but would not stay anywhere else in St. Andrews.
