Fairmont St Andrews Hotel seaside escape
Luxury coastal Scotland stay with spa and views
Why we love it
The setting
Fairmont St Andrews sits on its own coastal estate above the bay, a short drive from the town of St Andrews. The grounds run to two championship golf courses and open lawns that look out to the North Sea. Inside, the building keeps a calm Scottish-country feel with stone, deep colours and big windows. The setting suits anyone who wants sea air and space rather than a town-centre base, with the famous golfing town close by when you want it.
What to expect
The Standard Double room comes with a full-size double bed, and many of the rooms face the sea or the courses. The hotel runs an indoor pool, a gym and a spa, plus several places to eat and drink on site. Breakfast is not included in this rate but can be added when you book. There is also a games room with a pool table and a couple of bars for the evening. The booked rate covers the room only, so plan meals around the on-site restaurants or trips into town.
Things to do nearby
St Andrews Bay is right below the hotel at about 741 metres, and the Torrance and Devlin courses are on the doorstep. The town of St Andrews, with its old streets, cathedral ruins and the Old Course, is a short drive away. Dundee Airport is around 23 kilometres if you fly in. The coast around here is good for walks, and Edinburgh is reachable for a longer day out.
Best for
Couples after a quiet coastal break, and golfers who want to play the courses on site. The spa and pool make it work as a slower weekend away too.
