Fairmont St Andrews

We stayed at the fairmont on the 27th of august for one night, the room was very clean, reception staff friendly. The clubhouse was lovely, great setting with lovely and helpful staff. Breakfast was great with so much selection as well as fantastic service, Naomi, one of the waiting staff was very professional, friendly and personable, overall great experience with breakfast being a highlight.

We got married at Kinkell Byre (next door) and booked the Fairmont for our wedding accommodation in April 2025. My husband and I stayed in one of the suites, and we block-booked a number of rooms so that our family and wedding guests could stay at the hotel as well. We would like to give a special shoutout to Georgia in the Reservations team, who we worked closely with throughout our entire wedding planning process. We got in touch with Georgia before we had even booked our wedding, as we were also interested in the Fairmont as a potential wedding venue and had a viewing appointment with Georgia. Despite not opting for the Fairmont as our wedding venue (we decided we wanted a rustic, barn vibe instead), we stayed in touch with Georgia regularly as we were confident we would book our accommodation with the Fairmont. Georgia was professional, helpful and so easy to get a long with. She answered my many, many questions throughout the process and offered up solutions to every concern or question I had. We were even, very kindly, given a discount code to offer to our guests who were booking their rooms through our block booking. The hotel is absolutely stunning - the grounds are picturesque, the rooms spacious and well furnished, and the staff all super helpful and friendly. The breakfast area in particular is fantastic - the setup was great to enjoy the next morning with our guests, and the food delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, as did all of our wedding guests who opted to stay as well and we would highly recommend the Fairmont!

Stayed for one night for husband's birthday. We checked into Deluxe Sea View room and immediately noticed the nail clippings on the carpet! Informed reception and they were extremely apologetic and very helpful. Kindly upgraded us to the Executive King Suite! This room was fabulous. Hotel is generally very tired. Peeling paint and signs of leaks on the ceiling throughout. The spa was very disappointing. Again, very tired and a bit dirty to be honest. Glad I hadn't booked a treatment! Breakfast was lovely, though no vegetarian options for cooked buffet. Had dinner in La Cucina which was nice, but overpriced for what it was. Bars were great, and lovely outdoor seating area in the sunshine. Overall, we enjoyed the stay and appreciated the upgrade after initial disappointment. Not sure I'd return as it's for the money, there are definitely nicer 5 star hotels.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel – everything from start to finish was amazing. The staff were absolutely lovely, always friendly and helpful, and the rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable. A special touch that meant a lot was finding a birthday cake and card left in the room for my partner – such a thoughtful surprise that really made our stay extra special. The only downside was our experience at La Cucina. Unfortunately, the menu wasn’t very varied, and we found it quite hard to read, which made choosing a meal difficult. This was a bit disappointing compared to the high standards throughout the rest of the hotel. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return – just might skip La Cucina next time.

Excellent hotel. Travelled here with my family and some friends and their families at the end of last year. From the moment we arrived the staff could not do enough for you. They helped us out the car with our items and concierge took them to our room. Rooms are spacious and luxurious and we had a lovely sea view. The restaurant was wonderful and although a bit pricey, the food was delicious. Another night we rented the golf simulator and this went down well with my boys. You can play football on it so this was well received. If you choose you can have food and drinks in this bar whilst sitting on the couches to watch the golf simulator. The breakfast was amazing and very plentiful. There was a slight wait for pancakes but they were being made fresh by the chef and there was quite a queue for them. Service was excellent at breakfast and food delicious! The highlight for us was finding the greenhouse outside with all of the produce that they grow to cook in the restaurant. The gardener spotted us having a nosy and invited us in. He let me try some of the peppers and my son some of the blueberries. Really welcoming lovely guy and it was great to see. They even have a bee hive with their own honey. Overall a wonderful stay and we did return at the beginning of the year. It's not cheap but the service is above and beyond anything else we've been to so we will continue to return. 10/10.
