Rufflets St Andrews

10/10 Excellent
"Kirsty must be applauded for being so hospitable and very helpful of my queries. She’s really good of what she is doing. One unfortunate incident was during our breakfast. One of the guy with the green watch treated us as if we’re dirt. No manners at all!!! But the rest of our stay was excellent. As the saying goes goes nothings perfect.!"
