We picked this hotel based on what we read on tripadvisor, as we had to be in St Andrews on business. The hotel, even in winter, was lovely. The gardens were peaceful, the open fires warm and welcoming, excellent food etc but the thing that makes this place stand out from the crowd was the attitude of the staff. It... more

I generally lower my expectations in regards to a hotel slightly as the photos you'll find online and the reviews by web sites and travelers are not always accurate. I can honestly say this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way, as it was much more beautiful than I had anticipated, and the care was definitely that of the highest... more

We had a perfect wedding at Rufflets. The weather was great which obviously helped but the service and location couldn't have been any better. The staf were absolutely spot on with everything they did for us and in one particular instance went beyond what you would expect. The wedding party stayed at the hotel on the Friday and Saturday night... more

Never again would we go to this hotel. After all the reviews we decided to try Rufflets on our annual visit to St. Andrews (our favorite city!) . We had the Orchard Suite, their pride and joy. There was a bad smell, spiders and other insects, a blanket and mattress that were very tired, no top sheet. Toiletries were to... more

Management response from
Gildor, General Manager

It is never great to read comments such as these, but as might be expected, there are always two sides to the story. Without going into the details, in my view, the reasons for wanting to leave a day early are not stated accurately. I personally visited this client in his room on the first afternoon, and was given no...

We arranged to have a welcome buffet the night... more

The four bedroom Kinness Lodge of the Rufflets Hotel was perfect for our informal family golf trip to the St. Andrews area. We used the lodge for two weeks. It provided an excellent place to relax, enjoy refreshments and serve as a base to venture out by car to the countryside or to downtown St. Andrews. The lodge was surrounded... more

Have just got back from a friends wedding at Rufflets, and having heard about Tripadvisor, thought that i would tell everyone about the place. Basically, it was fantastic!! In terms of a wedding venue, it now has a new banquet room which, when added to a great wee hotel, helped make the weekend a great time for all. We stayed... more

We needed 2 rooms for our family, but also the ability for my husband to smoke..a problem now in the now nonsmoking Scotland. They gave us a nice set up. 2 rooms out in the lodge where he could just step outside. Our room was comfortable but not luxurious, with a king bed. The girls had 2 twins in the... more

Have just returned from a fantastic stay at this wonderful hotel - and it is one of the best of its type. As country house hotels go, there are a few areas that are perhaps a bit old (shabby chique), but this is all part of the charm of the place. I suppose if you want spotless and soul-less, then... more
