Such a lovely hotel! Staff were all lovely and very helpful. We were welcomed by a sweet dog when we came in which was lovely too. The room was really nice and spacious, would definitely recommend. Location was great too with a bus stop right outside taking 15 minutes to get into st andrews.

The Inn is sweet - small bar - but very welcoming - dining room excellent. Our bedroom was tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable and warm. Loved the old shutters

Owners and the team super-friendly and accommodating. Room spacious and well equipped. We dined both nights and loved it. Would stay again! Only minor negatives around some
cobwebs in the room and outside appesrance of the property, which was a bit untidy and could do with a refresh.

Lovely overnight stay at The Inn at Kingsbarns, the staff were very friendly and the location is ideal for St Andrews and the surrounding area.
Room was very comfortable, quiet and well appointed with a lovely bathroom and tea and coffee making making facilities with fresh milk in the fridge, my room also had access to a small patio area which was ideal to be able to just nip out to the car, the weather was not ideal but it was a nice addition.
Evening meal was very nice, small menu but concentrating on doing those items well rather than having too much on the menu, breakfast was again very nice with plenty of options be it cooked or continental.
Very nice stay indeed :-)

We were warmly greeted on arrival by Annette (and Harris!). Our room was extremely comfortable and well appointed. Excellent breakfast - we ate in The Scranhoose on three evenings and on each occasion the food was home cooked and of excellent quality and value. The Inn is in a great location to explore the local area and it was so good to be able to relax in the bar at the end of the evening.
Thank you Annette, Maxx and Ann for looking after us so well!

A comfortable stay . Hosts were very welcoming and friendly . Breakfast was very good . Location excellent for visiting places in both directions . Felt rooms were rather overpriced as this was a small inn rather than hotel but appreciate this is an expensive area to visit so will have been priced accordingly . Harris the dog was a great talking point and such a lovely pet. However there was lots of dog hair around so if you are allergic to dogs this may not be for you .

A short break at the Inn. The room was excellent, nice and quiet, and amazing shower. Toiletries also provided which pleased my partner no end. Well stocked with tea/coffee/biscuits/milk and the fridge was very welcome too. Had dinner one night, home-cooked food and all requests for special diet was accommodated without issue.
I would recommend.

A wee gem of a place to stay, it was in a quiet area not much to do unless you were driving although there are buses available into St Andrews. Golf courses nearby.
The hotel was lovely. Room was spacious and comfortable, we had a good nights sleep. A good selection of teas and coffee in your room and a nice selection of toiletries.
The staff were great, friendly and helpful. Its just a small hotel but you soon feel part of the family, not much seems to bother them, you will get a very warm welcome especially from Harris the dog.
