Loved our stay at Rusacks St Andrews. Great welcome when we arrived. Our room was immaculate, with a lovely view over the 18th hole. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Breakfast and service outstanding, had our evening meal on our 2nd night and it was outstanding. Will definitely return.

The vibe and character of this hotel was perfect for us, as golfers. Everything in this hotel is beautiful. The pasta was excellent and the rooftop restaurant 18 was amazing. Rooms were comfy, spacious and walking out to the 18th hole at St Andrew’s Old Course was epic.
