The fairmont is in a lovely location, just outside of the town of St. Andrews. There is a free shuttle into town, but the last run is 6:00 in the evening, so if you want to go in later you must get a cab. There are restaurants on site, but we found them to be only OK. If you are... More

I stayed at the Fairmont with father earlier this month. Overall, I have to say it was lacking in almost every way. The hotel had little atmosphere and there was no attention to detail. In fact the entire hotel was in a state of disrepair. One notable thing was that the housekeeping staff forgot to clean our rooms on one... More

My mother in law turned 80 last week so we decided to book 2 rooms through the Official Fairmont site. The lady who took the booking had asked if it was a special occasion and I mentioned the 80th birthday.... More

My wife and I stayed an overnight at the Fairmont via one of their special offers. The hotel was fantastic with great service from the hotel staff who were very helpful with our various queries. The food from the restaurant was okay but expensive for what we got. We would have preferred to eat in St Andrews itself but since... More

We went to the Fairmont for a special occasion and booked a sea view room. The room was absolutely lovely with dressing gowns and slippers, a nice seating area and the view was as stunning as we had expected. The welcome was excellent, no need to check in - given our keys by the concierge and as a Presidents club... More

Recently spent 2 nights here with our friends .... Very luxurious hotel .... Although expensive! .. Very dramatic setting and stunning views.... But for me a little bit too far out of st. Andrews ... Too far to walk at night anyway. If I visited st Andrews again I would probably prefer to stay in town. The squires restaurant ....... More
