Top Elie Hotel Reviews

Old Course Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Could use a little updating with the bathrooms- and could use a salon in the hotel. Highly recommend."

Fairmont St Andrews

10/10 Excellent

"I recently stayed at the Fairmont and had a fantastic experience overall. The staff were attentive, professional, and always willing to help, which made the stay feel truly welcoming. The rooms were comfortable, well-appointed, and provided everything needed for a relaxing stay. The golf facilities were excellent and a real highlight of the trip, with the course being in great condition and offering a superb experience. My only criticism would be the breakfast service. While the food itself was very good, the queues were extremely long and resulted in a considerable wait each morning. Improving the breakfast flow would make a significant difference to the overall guest experience. Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would happily return."

Kilconquhar Castle Estate

10/10 Excellent

"We turned into the drive and as we approached the castle it was a real wow moment. The disappointment was that check In for our room was at the leisure centre desk, I so wanted to walk up the steps of the castle and take in the atmosphere. Saying that the staff were all very very friendly, courteous and loved petting our dog. The food in The Bistro was amazing, we arrived on steak night and it was cooked to perfection. The grounds were very peaceful to walk around, very well maintained. We will definitely come back and book a castle room"

The Inn at Lathones

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot recommend this place enough. My husband and I booked on a whim to be close to St Andrews without St Andrews prices. Upon first glance my husband thought I was crazy, he assumed it would be run down, and not offer much because it was not in the city center. He sure changed his tune on that once we checked in. The room was so spacious and beautifully updated while retaining a bit of historic feel. The quant and cosy “Hayloft Room” was perfect. The garden bathtub was such an amazing surprise and big enough to fit even a large gentleman. Not something my husband is used to finding. The all in one duty manager Debbie was sweet and accommodating. She worked so hard in every aspect to ensure a pleasant stay for all the guests. The chef behind the scenes is a hidden gem. I truly had the best meal I’ve ever eaten. The Inspire Chicken. My husband had the Haddock Mornay and loved his just as much. Generous portions, cold drinks, and hot delicious coffee. If I had known about this place I would have planned more nights in the area. I cannot wait for breakfast. Ps. I promise I do not work here and am in no way affiliated with this Inn. I’m an American on vacation. lol. See my other reviews."
