We have just returned from a stay at the Russell last weekend, which was very pleasant due in the main part to the staff, from heating our baby's bottle to offering advice on whiskey, nothing was too much trouble for them. We arrived late evening and hadn't booked in for dinner, both restaurant and bar area was fully booked but... More

After a visit to the British Golf museum we wondered around looking for a place to have lunch and stumbled across this gem. Lovely and helpful staff, scrummy grub and very reasonably priced. From jacket pots, Panini’s to fish and chips and lambs liver, it suited all pockets and all tastes. I recommend the ice cream for dessert, we shared... More

Stayed in this hotel as part of a deal for DBB. We upgraded to the sea view room which was really nice, the view is beautiful and well worth the small addtional charge. The dinner and breakfast were really lovely and the staff were very helpful and really lovely to deal with. They also catered for vegetarians which I was... More

Like several other reviewers, we were staying using the "Itson" deal. However, we were still allocated a very good room overlooking the Bay which is in sharp contrast to many hotels tactics. The hotel is a very traditional St Andrews Hotel, clean and comfortable and wiithin very easy walking distance from all the attractions. It would make a great base... More

We stayed for one night recently. The room was nice enough with en-suite shower room and located on top floor with amazing view. The hotel has a quaint bar which serves bar food and the restaurant/breakfast room is furnished and decorated stylishly, very pleasant to sit in either. The staff are all lovely and it is a very comfortable place... More

Got a great deal from Itison, £69 for dinner, bed and breakfast. Dinner was lovely, small but comfortable restaurant. Food and service were excellent, staff very attentive at dinner, and also at breakfast. Hotel doesn't have a car park, but there is free on street parking in the surrounding streets. Hotel overlooks the beach, and makes for a lovely walk... More

We stayed for 3 nights on the second floor with a bay window view of the water - worth every penny to sit with a cup of tea and look out the window. Everyone we met on the staff was cheerful, hardworking, helpful and made us feel at home. Great choices for the included breakfast. Beds comfortable, plenty of storage/closet... More
