My daughter and I stayed here recently when we were attending an Open Day at St Andrews University. The University was about 3 minutes walk away so we couldn't have been more conveniently located. Our room was pleasant and clean with all the facilities we required, including nice biscuits to go with the tea and coffee selection. We were technically... More

7 golfers staying for 4 nights. Rooms were ok. Restaurant was fantastic. Had 2 dinners here - better than most in the town, I guess. Service was generally good as we are used to in this country, even though a newly hired American receptionist seemed a bit less serviceminded than the typical Scottish hotel-person. They should be careful not to... More

Stayed as part of a boys golfing group. This is a good quality hotel and definately value for money. Rooms are clean and tidy with everything you would expect from a hotel of this standard. Staff are very helpful, especially in the restaurant, for both dinner and breakfast. Golf storgage room so no need to keep clubs in bedroom. New... More

This is a standard type en-suite hotel in the area. Rooms were clean but slightly small, however consistent for type of building. The bathrooms were much larger than expected. Staff was friendly and location cannot be beat (unless you need to park-but that is a challenge everywhere). Renovated restaurant is much improved. More

Had my second stay at the Ardgowan and it was no less enjoyable than the last. Friendly staff, clean rooms, if not large ones, and a great location if you are a golfer. More

The staff were really friendly and welcoming and didn't mind our dog. The staff at breakfast were especially attentive. This is of a high standard for its star rating but unfortunately our room was especially small when we had a dog in tow! There was no noise like what is mentioned in other reviews. Whilst the bed was huge, you... More

Stayed all too briefly at the Ardgowan last weekend and loved everything about it. Great location with a friendly welcome and a spotless room with the comfiest beds. Top marks to the chefs too, we had a fantastic dinner in Playfairs Restaurant (best steaks ever!) though making our choice off the menu was hard as everything sounded lovely - looked... More
