Closure without notice
2.0Just was informed that hotel, months after accepting our bookings for June 2025, has decided to voluntarily close for renos. Leaves myself and 11 other gentleman golfers in the lurch for accommodations at the peak of the season. Outrageously poor behavior for a business. Simply terrible - no amount of renovation will make up for such bad management.
Terrible communication
2.0I was due to stay at the Ardgowan hotel with my fiancee on the 24th and 25th January 2025. However, the hotel has closed for renovation. This was not communicated to us in any form, leaving me to find alternative arrangements with minimal notice. If I hadn’t been looking at the website ahead of time to see about adding an additional day to the booking, we would’ve turned up on the 24th and found it closed leaving us without accommodation. We booked via the hotel website and the only email received from the hotel was the booking confirmation. Very poor customer service.
Small and basic
6.0Centrally located b&b. Fast and easy check in. Tiny clean rooms. WiFi doesn’t work in Your room. You can hear the floors squick when people in the next room are walking around. Daily room cleaning. Bathroom is the smallest I have ever seen. Toilet tank is making constant noise.
Very Good!!
10.0My second review! Following a mix up with lost property I am to remove my negative review and thank the staff for sending my jumper back 😀. Perfect Location, room clean and tidy and would certainly come back to stay again. Credit where Credits due. THANK YOU
Kid-Friendly Luxury
10.0We had such a wonderful experience at the ardgowan. We chose it just for it's location close to West sands, but we're blown away by the incredibly caring and friendly service, the beauty and comfort of the room, and the sensitivity to our family needs. Traveling with a toddler can be very hit or miss when it comes to accomodations and the staff at the ardgowan went above and beyond to welcome and accommodate our family needs. They upgraded our room, provided multiple sleeping options, and even offered us towels to take to the beach! Truly grateful for a special stay!
Book It!! Beautiful stay and the nicest people.
10.0The Ardgowan Hotel in St. Andrews is the best spot for a quick golf trip! From the moment we arrived, Lindsey made our stay truly memorable with her warmth and attention to detail. The hotel’s charm, combined with its perfect location, made our visit exceptional. We cannot wait to return!
