My family stayed at Ardgowan Hotel near the end of our travels in Scotland for 2 nights. One of our biggest challenges in Scotland was finding accommodations for 3 people (myself, husband, and son). Ardgowan had the perfect room with a cool view. It was a big room with 3 singles beds, a vanity, 3 night stands, television, ect..... Also... More

I was pleased with this property. Rooms are average, but we were there to golf, not stay in a 5 star resort. Small beds, shower, & room. Staff was helpful & nice. Restaurant had excellent food. Again, it was great for a golf trip and in walking distance of everything. I would not consider it hotel where you would relax... More

This hotel was very central. Our room was large with great views but not suitable for elderly or infirm as it was on the 3rd floor. The shower cubicle was quite small and didn't have anywhere to put your shower gel or shampoo. If you were plus size you would not fit in it! We didn't have dinner in the... More

Just spent an evening at the Ardgowan Hotel and had a very nice stay. Highlight has to be the restaurant, which has an excellent wine list supplied by Corney & Barrow, at very reasonable prices. Try the picpoul. It's excellent. The room we had was very nice albeit a bit small, but given that we did not intend holding a... More

We stayed for 2 nights at the ardgowan hotel. We had a room in the annexe which was reached through the sister hotel next door. Room was very clean and perfectly adequate and although on the room looked onto the main road it was very quiet ( obviously very good secondary glazing). The breakfast was excellent. Great choice and although... More

My son and I recently stayed at the Ardgowan hotel during a golf trip to the St. Andrews area. We found the rooms to be small, but clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and accomodating and food in the restaurant was very good. Parking is non-existent, but there is plenty of parking off of Scores drive a block away which... More

Hotel very well located just a few minutes from the Old Course and therefore not surprising that all other guests were groups of golfers but during peak summer months this is to be expected. Comfortable rooms but basic facilities. Playfairs Restaurant great food, make sure you book. A bit pricey for my budget!

We had the second floor center room right above the front door and restaurant area, so it was noisy. I had booked two months ahead and asked for a quiet room, so that didn't help. Our daughter had a room in the back wing and she and her husband were unimpressed, also. The girl at the reception was just there... More

Located just round the corner from the Old Course, the hotel is ideally placed for golfers. Staff very friendly and the food is good. Rooms are comfortable, shampoo/hair gel supplied and shower good. Breakfast excellent - I got there on time, its not hard, Good selection of beers at the bar.
