Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Inn At Lathones from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Inn at Lathones, with its historic charm dating back to 1600, is often praised as a great base for exploring St Andrews, just a short drive away, as well as nearby coastal towns. Guests frequently enjoy the spacious and clean rooms, with some appreciating the bonus of patio doors offering unrestricted countryside views. The on-site restaurant and bar, featuring cosy open fires, are a highlight for many, with the dinner service and breakfast receiving compliments; however, some guests have noted that rooms closest to the road can be affected by traffic noise. Parking is ample, making it convenient for exploring the surroundings.

i felt welcomed. the staff was happy to chat and recommend places. my room was upgraded to a modernised one that was beautifully decorated. the room had a jacuzzi bath, great after exploring.
the beds were uncomfortable. it was a thin old spring mattress that left me sore. also, there were no blackout curtains so daylight beamed around the corners.

mixed feelings here

alright staffundersized duvetdated shower
the staff seemed alright i guess, they did their job.
The duvet was a joke. It barely covered the bed, like they put a double on a super king or something. the shower also felt pretty dated and tired. i had hope for a good sleep, but the bedding situation really let the room down.
