Fairmont St Andrews reviews
“Would love to return.”
LikedExcellent staff Golfer’s paradise excellent pro. for golf lessons.
“I would HIGHLY recommend staying here not only for its beauty, but the staff is wonderful!”
LikedEverything about the Fairmont is absolutely perfect! The outside of the building is beautiful and is right next to the water.
“Awesome stay!”
LikedEverything. This was one of the nicest places. Location and grounds are beautiful. Employees are the BEST!!!!! Would recommend this place.
“Very child friendly resort.”
LikedStaff hands down makes your stay memorable. So kind and genuine. Very good with the kids and helpful. Tons of activities to do around the hotel not just golf. While I played golf, the kids played soccer, kids zone, and pool.
“Very very special.”
LikedFrom the moment we arrived, we could tell this place is magical. The views are spectacular, the property itself has a great location, the room was very clean and comfortable, the staff incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet, which was included in our room rate, was one of the best I have seen. To play golf at St.Andrews is a special experience, but the Fairmont St.Andrews took it to “trip of a lifetime” level. I have spent many years staying in hotels all over the world - I would have to put the Fairmont St.Andrews in my top one or two favorite hotels - it’s that good. One last recommendation - don’t miss dinner at sunset at the St.Andrews Bay Clubhouse Bar and Grill - unbelievable !
“One of our favourite hotels in the UK.”
