Our bedroom was very elegant and comfortable (particularly the king size bed!),with a very spacious and well appointed bathroom.The room had recently been refurbished to a very... More

Dear Jane M Delighted to hear that you like the refurbishments - we have spent a lot of time planning it all, and to have been able to do the front hall and reception areas, plus some of the bedrooms - it is reassuring to know that it is being so well received. Many thanks for the kind comments, and... More

This small hotel (20 something rooms) is simply excellent. The food is superb and the rooms are really comfortable and spacious. Staff are friendly without being "in your face" but not as professional as you might wish. Thoroughly recommend. More

We do know that there is much competition in and around St Andrews these days, and to read the 'dont go anywhere else' comment is great - thank you. This hotel is very special - and quite unlike the other hotels in the area - and through having good staff, do provide a special experience for all our guests. Hope... More

We stayed at Rufflets recently for a weekend break and found it very pleasant. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a huge bathroom. Dinner was very good and there was a varied wine list. Our only quibble was that we thought a £5-6 supplement to the Table d'Hote menu for a cheese course was a bit excessive. The bar... More

We stayed in a classic double room(37) and had an absolutely fabulous stay. We were very warmly greeted and shown round the hotel restaurant, lounges and... More
