Find Hotels in St. Andrews, United Kingdom

The Hotel du Vin is a small and fabulously located hotel on the sea about a block from the Old Course. The front desk staff is welcoming and professional, while the rooms are nice and clean. One might consider it rather quaint compared to the Old Course Hotel or the Fairmont, but the location can't be beaten. The breakfast is served in tut front room over looking the sea and is a nice way to start the day. The grumpy main waitress "sort of" adds to the charm but shouldn't deter you from trying out this nice smaller property while enjoying the beautiful town of St. Andrews. Cheers...

We stayed 1 night. The hotel was an ideal location as we were visiting Kingsbarn whiskey center. Our room was a larger 2 double beds with a sea and golf course view (1017). Excellent bathroom and amenities. We ate in the bar for our evening meal and the food was good. The breakfast which was included in the price was excellent, a large choice and all very fresh. The staff were all friendly and helpful. My advice do not book direct with the hotel as it is much, much cheaper on Agoda.

We booked a superior double room which we considered not to be the case as it had a very busy trunk road on both sides with heavy traffic all night long. There were cobwebs on the light in the small hall between our bedroom and ensuite bathroom and the bed was VERY uncomfortable, with a coin under one foot for some reason. Breakfast was very average. We booked a 2 night stay but checked out after one but had to pay the full amount of £230 which we were shocked at. We would have paid a token amount for the second night but NOT surely the full amount. We did explain our reason for leaving re the lack of sleep but could not expand on the other matters as there was a taxi driver waiting to collect another resident who was within earshot when I paid the bill and I did not want a confrontation. We went to Visit Scotland's place in St. Andrews and booked somewhere for our second night at half the price. The room in our b and b in Largoward was superb and very comfortable. We cherish our breaks away as we have busy lives and this is the first time we have made a bad choice.

I have stayed in several hotels in St Andrews and cost is often the issue with high prices at several of the more well known hotels. I chose this on the basis of its location and cost and was not disappointed. Reviews elsewhere had highlighted the night club underneath the property but, on a Wednesday night this was not an issue (presumably only open weekends?). Parking was free around the property and the room was comfortable and in a great location for access to the golf courses, shops, bars and restaurants
