Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A five-star resort on the edge of the Old Course in St Andrews, with a spa, several restaurants and the Jigger Inn pub in the grounds. Dogs stay in selected bedrooms and are welcome in the hotel's public areas. It suits owners who want a full-service resort within walking distance of West Sands.

Why it's in the collection

West Sands is about a 10 minute walk from the door, with close to two miles of sand backed by dunes. The Lade Braes path runs through town along the Kinness Burn, and the Fife Coastal Path heads east from the harbour past East Sands.

Best suited for

Dogs stay in selected bedrooms only, so the room has to be booked as a dog room.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Dogs are welcome in selected bedrooms and in the public areas of the resort. For food and drink, dogs can join you on the patio at Hams Hame and on the patio at the Jigger Inn.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
