Excellent Breakfast and Central Spot

cooked choices helpful staff central location

The breakfast had good cooked choices. The staff were available, they helped me with everything I needed. The location puts you two minutes from city center. Golf course St Andrews is a 20 minute walk.

The room was a bit small.

The hotel is central to the main high street and local attractions. It is easy to walk anywhere from this hotel. There is free parking available, that's a great feature for a spot so close to everything.
