Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A Marine & Lawn hotel on Pilmour Links with windows straight onto the 1st and 18th holes of the Old Course. Pets are welcome for a nightly fee. It suits owners who want to be in the middle of town with West Sands a short walk away.

Dogs stay in the bedroom with you. Ask the hotel which of its bars and restaurants your dog can join you in before you book a table.

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