"Nice Bed & Breakfast in St Andrews"…read more Stayed here for 2 nights and was satisfied. Owner lady is very nice and accommodating, as well as quick to reply to my e-mail queries ahead of time. Room was clean and comfortable- especially liked the comfortable bed. Came with free wifi (a little bit dodgy from the room itself, but worked well even with Skype from lobby area) and a breakfast (I uploaded the menu as a picture). Private bathroom in my room, though I think some other rooms may have had a shared hallway bath. Cable TV included. Cost was moderate at 65 pounds a night for my room (with one double-bed). It's nested in a row of other guest houses on the same street, so although I don't know how it compares with the others, I was satisfied and would happily return. If you're coming for golf or to visit the university, give it a try!

The breakfast is delicious, they clean everything spotless every day, they make sure you get to know the other guests and make friends and they will even sit down with you and help you lan and negotiate the crazy Scottish roads. It is located very conveniently across from St. Salvator's church of St. Andrews University. A 5 minute walk to the Old Course and 2 minutes to the cathedral and castle ruins. The whole town is in walking distance. The "small double" actually has a queen size bed so don't be misled. There is also free wifi. We will definitely be staying with them in the future!!

From check in to check out I was uncomfortable. There was no one to check me in, but housekeeping…read moreended up being super helpful (that's the 2 stars). There was an envelope with what was supposed to be my name written on the front that had the key and a Starbucks card. My name was spelled wrong and if housekeeping hadn't been there to help, I'm not sure I would have known it was for me. I thought the Starbucks card was a nice touch until I went down for breakfast in the morning and there was a sign that there was no breakfast and the Starbucks card was in lieu. They can't help staff shortages, so I can't hold that against them. But Starbucks?? Really?? There isn't a local cafe they could have supported that would provide actual food? The room itself (Room 4) was on the top floor and had been half refurbished. So some of the amenities were nice, mostly in the bathroom, but the carpet and skylight (see photo) were nasty. The bed was pretty soft and lumpy, but I know beds are a personal preference. Because I was walking along the coast of Scotland, I had a baggage service for each of my transfers. There was no one around to let the service in during the late afternoon, so my bag was left in the unlocked foyer (that is also about the luggage service, so they get half the blame). Seems like someone should be around until at least 5pm, but that's just my opinion. Then again, no one was around in the morning to let the baggage transfer service in to pick up my bag (front door was locked), so I had to call the baggage company and ask for help. They ended up handling it well. But it was just so strange that no staff was around. I guess maybe that was the staff shortage that also resulted in no breakfast. I'm a pretty easy going person and will give people the benefit of the doubt most of the time. But I stayed in a different inn each night of my travels and this one, comparatively, was the worst experience of all. In fact, it was the only bad experience and the only non- 4 or 5 star review I would give. I would not recommend staying here until they upgrade the rooms, particularly the mold. I'm sure they're doing their best with staff shortages and that's not as much in their control. But better communication would have saved me a lot of stress, especially around my baggage.

It is in an historic building, which has been restored and is clean, comfortable, and nicely appointed. Add to that an amazing array of breakfast choices. We sampled everything from the rhubarb and berry compote, fresh yogurt and fruit to the traditional Scottish bacon, Lorne sausage, black pudding, eggs, potato scone, fried toast, and grilled tomato and mushrooms! We took off a star because the rooms lack a bit of sound proofing, but given all the pluses of this Guest House, we would heartily recommend it.

Hostess Yufei treated us like family, took care of us with every courtesy and anticipation, and went out of her way to accommodate our special needs whenever she could. The breakfasts were consistently good, and the room is as advertised - somewhat small (U S standards), but very comfortable beds, and room/bath always kept clean. Overall a quaint B&B with great golf & beach access for low cost. Highly, highly recommended.

I didn't know this was what Dundee needed, but it is…read more I came here with my sister-in-law for brunch and totally fell in love with it. It's a boutique hotel which I imagine is great to stay in. They also keep pretty busy serving breakfast, lunch and dinner to Dundonians. It's a beautiful example of the Scottish baronial style with a sympathetic update by the current owners. The ceilings inside are stunning, with roses all around the edges. I would love to wake up to that! The gardens are small but very attractive and quiet as the house is set back from the main road down a posh drive (with a groundsman raking the gravel at the end!). The outdoor seating looked lovely but too sunny for my ginger tinted sister-in-law. I had Eggs Benedict which was really tasty and I enjoyed every mouthful. It came in at a reasonable £5.50. My sister-in-law had a pain au chocolat with a white coffee, both of which she enjoyed. The lunch and dinner menus also looked very tempting. I liked the local suppliers map on the front. The dining room is decorated charmingly with floating teapots, an old set of scales for the tips and cute wallpaper with trees. The only thing I didn't love was 2 carefully distressed wooden boards with twee statements about hearts and home, I don't get why these are so popular right now! The service was very friendly and welcoming. Payment is at the door of the dining room, for brunch anyway. There's a drawing room with a bar across the way but sadly it was too early to sample from the Scottish gin menu. There's another rustic looking gin bar outside too which I'm sure would be lovely in the evening. In fact this would be the perfect place for a small wedding and I think I saw a small wedding bower outside, it was laid on the grass though. Another thing I liked was the vegetable vending machine outside with strawberries for £2 and a dozen eggs for £1.10. Potatoes and greens also spotted. I've never seen one of these before so I was intrigued. Anyway I loved it. I'll go back everytime I'm in Dundee hopefully.

The bar staff and mixologists were blinking brilliant and I had one too many in the end, as they were just so yummy, and willing to try various and random changes to come up with variants of classic favourites. The bed was lush and a really good size. I would 100% stay here again. The only reason not 5* is due to some decor issues in the room, but was very nearly a 5!

Service was good. We had a server who had just graduated from the University of St. Andrews. She was friendly and welcoming which was a nice change having just spent 2 nights in Edinburg. The wine list was not very impressive and my date ended up ordering a bottle of wine that resembled Capri-sun. I couldn't even drink it. We started with the oyster pair (HUGE oysters, very creamy), deer tartare - couldn't get through one bite of it and Pig's Head on Toast. Appetizers were not a good sign for the rest of the dinner. However the tomahawk steak was pretty good, lobster was overcooked. Soufflé was pretty good. Would give it a higher rating if not for the food. I think you really come here for the views, the putting green overlooking the 18th on the balcony, some gorgeous views vs. the food.

Just a 5 minute walk from the Overgate and Wellgate shopping centres and 10 minutes from the RSS Discovery, it's a great location for both shopping and being a tourist in Dundee. Due to the central location, it doesn't have its own hotel car park but it's connected to level 3 of the Gellatly Street multi-storey by a footbridge from reception which offers parking at £8 for 24 hours. Our room was nice. Modern and clean, which is all you really need from a hotel room. I was slightly disappointed with the view - a brick wall and the footbridge to the car park - but I suppose not everyone can get the stunning view over the Tay. Breakfast was actually quite good, considering it's a buffet in a budget hotel. A full English is available, as well as a continental breakfast. The orange juice was a bit disappointing and watery though. We also ate in the restaurant for dinner. We waited over 45 minutes for our dinner to arrive and the restaurant was empty, but it was actually really nice. I opted for the cod and wedges which were pretty good, considering it's a hotel bar. If we're in Dundee again, I would definitely consider this hotel again. Great location and nice rooms.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet consisted of some hot items (sausage, baked beans and scrambled eggs) plus continental items and a good variety of hot drinks. The Wi-Fi in the hotel was free, but a little hit and miss. I resorted to using 4G instead -- I'm with EE and there was a good signal throughout the hotel. Overall, for the price this was a bargain and I'd definitely stay here again!

As I drove up the beautifully manicured drive to Eden Mansion Hotel, I just had that feeling that this was going to be somewhere special... The welcome was warm, the interiors were sumptuous, and the service was second to none. I had afternoon tea at Eden Mansion. This beautiful house really does offer the perfect setting for afternoon tea. The cake stands adorned with delicate sandwiches, scones, cakes, and other treats looked beautiful and tasted delicious. The stars of the afternoon tea selection for me were the Guardbridge plum fool and the ginger cake with wild brambles. Eden Mansion is simply stunning, and would make the most beautiful wedding venue. In a world where my other half and I actually get an opportunity for a child-free night or two, this would most definitely be on my list of locations for a romantic break.
