    We booked the spa but left after 15 minutes due to it being full of screaming children. I would expect a hotel like his to perhaps look at set times for children. It would have been awful for anyone who had booked treatments and wanted to relax afterwards. The dining experience was disappointing. We had dinner in the Bay Clubhouse, and our order got given to the wrong table. The staff brought out our mains but then there was a wait for the sides. We ordered breakfast in the morning and after 30 minutes of waiting, I asked the staff and were told that the chef didn't receive our order because the printer had broke. I then ordered a latte when breakfast finally arrived and it was cold. Not what I would have expected for such a lovely venue and for the cost.

    Stunning hotel, the staff were so lovely and couldn't do enough for you. The shuttle service was great, as we spent the day in st andrews and then got dropped at the Bay Clubhouse for dinner.

    Steam room could do with some nice lighting & new tiles / grouting, could do more to sweep away excess water in pool area more regularly. Unfortunate fire alarm at 530 (but that’s unavoidable)

    Great location, lovely welcoming staff, well maintained hotel, comfortable beds, great breakfast with good service.

    The swimming pool is nice, but could perhaps do with some modernisation.

    Each member of staff was very friendly and helpful. We ate in the bar at night, and the food was delicious. Breakfast was tasty too. Lovely big rooms with nice views.

    The online check in process didn't work out for us ,our early check in request was not available although we had been willing to pay for it when we arrived at 11am . However we did get the room just after 2 pm . The pool area was lacking available leisure seating ,but the hotel was busy .

    The weather was kind to us ,the staff were friendly ,the room was was very spacious and had very good views .

    The restaurant upstairs the Italian was not good . The pizza was but sent back the Lasagne as seemed microwaved the edges were rock hard and couldn’t be eaten. They told us a fresh one would take 20mins we waited and it was worse than the first. The staff were wonderful and apologised but we left hungry. They offered some prawns and we took them and both had bad tummies the next day. Truly this restaurant needs to match the rest of the hotel and doesn’t. Only with food as staff lovely

    It’s hard to find something to find that we didn’t like. A minor thing is that the swimming pool area is a little dated and extremely dark. Plus my locker failed to open so I had to go to the desk is a towel to get it opened. Staff told me it happens all the time.

    The staff were really attentive and truly excellent. The room was fantastic. Breakfast was 9 out of 10 as the chef kept ruining the fried eggs (his words, not mine 😂) Both myself and my partner both commented on how relaxing the atmosphere in the hotel was.
