"Having dined here several times under the previous owners, this was, however, our first time staying at the Open Arms (now under new ownership). We were not disappointed. Dinner was as delicious as before (though we were sorry to see that the haggis wellington option was no longer on the menu). My partner’s severe pork allergy was catered for with an alternative option for his breakfast & staff seemed well aware of this - thank you. Our room was clean, comfortable & had all the amenities we...

Fairmont St Andrews

Fairmont St Andrews

10/10 Excellent
"We very much enjoyed our 2-night stay at the Fairmont in late November. Location is stunning, in close proximity to the sea and accessible coastal path. Our room was large and very comfortable and well furnished. All staff we encountered were extremely helpful, particularly Emma /Emily on reception (who dealt efficiently with a room booking discrepancy caused by Expedia) and Alex on Concierge. Breakfast buffet was excellent, with a la carte options and egg station. Swimming pool was large with a well organised booking system. The spa lived up to expectation. The golf practice facilities were very good and open to all residents. Unfortunately I didn’t get to play the golf courses on site as planned owing to the weather, but they looked scenic and well maintained. There is a regular shuttle bus service into historic St Andrews town, which is a few miles away. Would definitely stay there again. "

Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Earlsferry cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Earlsferry vary, but you can find a great deal from £46 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Earlsferry is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Earlsferry for beaches is the village centre, particularly around the main street and towards the waterfront.

This area is the heart of Earlsferry, offering direct access to the beautiful sandy beach that stretches along the coast. You'll find a selection of charming self-catering cottages and a couple of guesthouses clustered along the main thoroughfare, often with views towards the Firth of Forth. It's a compact village, so everything is within easy walking distance.

Families will find this area particularly convenient. With the beach just a stone's throw away, it's easy to spend full days building sandcastles, paddling, and enjoying the coastal air without needing to travel far.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Earlsferry?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Earlsferry is during July and August. These months offer the warmest weather, with average temperatures usually around 18-20°C, which is ideal for enjoying the stunning Fife coastline and its beaches.

During this period, the extended daylight hours allow for ample time to explore the coastal paths, play a round of golf at one of the nearby courses, or simply relax by the sea. The village buzzes with a pleasant activity, and you'll find all local amenities and attractions operating at their fullest. Many visitors enjoy watersports or boat trips during these prime summer months.

As another option, June presents a fantastic alternative. The weather is still very pleasant, with temperatures often reaching 16-18°C, and the days are wonderfully long, offering plenty of sunshine. You may find better value on hotel stays and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular restaurants or for specific activities like tee times on the golf course.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Earlsferry with Expedia?
One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Earlsferry beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in Earlsferry?
The best beach activities in Earlsferry revolve around exploring the Firth of Forth coastline, particularly the stretch between Earlsferry and Elie.

The main draw is the extensive sandy beach that connects Earlsferry to Elie, allowing for long, leisurely strolls. The beach is backed by dunes and offers views across the Firth of Forth. At low tide, you can walk directly to the Elie Lighthouse and explore the rock pools nearby. It's an excellent spot for families with children, as the wide-open spaces are great for playing, building sandcastles, and searching for shells.

For those who enjoy a bit more adventure, the Elie Chain Walk offers a great experience along the cliffs between Elie and Shell Bay. This involves navigating a series of fixed chains and ladders along the rock face, providing stunning coastal views. It's a fun challenge for active couples or families with older children looking for something a bit different.

Water sports are also popular here. You can try paddleboarding or kayaking from the beach on a calm day, exploring the coastline from a different perspective.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Earlsferry as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Earlsferry for you.
