Staff were really friendly and attentive. The self contained rooms were very comfortable and spacious. There was also enough parking right outside the rooms. It was only a short drive to St Andrews. They could have been a little warmer and have included a full length mirror. Also had to run the tap for a while to get hot water.

Good Evening Jane,Thank you for taking the time to send your review. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and that the location, parking and amenities were perfect for you. We are sorry to hear you felt the room could have been warmer. We do have timed heating but normally this is ample enough. I will ensure our maintenance team check the radiators and timings. Thank you also for suggesting a full length mirror, we will take this on board and look at options to add this in the future.Regards,Jack GourlayGeneral Manager

2nd time we have stayed here, we love it, the staff are so friendly and helpful. The beds are super comfortable and spotless clean. The rooms are well equipped, tv iron and iron board, hairdryer,tea coffee and coffee machine. The breakfast choice is fabulous with all good quality produce. Evening dinner menu is with excellent choices all freshly prepared and delicious. The hotel is a 15 minute drive away from the center St Andrews and the stunning beach, and the world famous golf course. A perfect location to stay and explore.

I booked a room at this property as we were attending a wedding locally. It is utter nonsense that I couldn’t check in remotely ( this would have meant I didn’t have to leave the wedding for 45 mins and pay £60 in taxi fares). I was advised on contacting the Inn that they required to see ID but when I did go and check in .. they didn’t ask for it!!!… just ridiculous. The room was clean but tiny and definitely not worth the £167 I paid for it. Very disappointed.
Response from JACK on 9 Aug 2023
Dear Ena,We are extremely disappointed that you have chosen to give us a score of 2 based on the fact that you could not check in early or remotely even though check in times are clearly stated prior and at point of booking and in the booking terms. However thank you for highlighting our terms to anybody reading this review and looking to book when going to a wedding or event that requires a check in before 2pm or after 10pm as we cannot and do not offer this option We therefore always advise customers looking to attend an early event to book for the day before as well as the day of the event. We feel your review is also unfair and unjustified as you only spent a short time in your room as you simply picked up your key were given the relevant hotel information from our team and shown to your room and then left only to return in the early hours of the morning sleep in the large comfortable bed in your standard double room, then got up use the clean and well apportioned bathroom facilities and use the coffee pod machine in the room for a lovely morning coffee, then leave. You did not choose to have breakfast with us so did not enjoy any of our are delicious breakfast choices or the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of our breakfast room and excellent service from our breakfast team. You did not dine with us so did not experience the unique character and charm of our stables restaurant and any of the beautifully prepared dishes from our hard working and talented kitchen team. Neither did you have the time to relax in our cosy bar / lounge area and enjoy any of our great drink choices and attentive service from our friendly and professional front of house team.Finally in relation to the room rate you paid, we are very well priced for the area and indeed is probably the reason you booked with us but you only paid us 116.85. You paid Expedia 26.78 commission and paid 23.37 VAT which go to HMRC.Kind Regards,Jack GourlayGeneral Manager

Overall hotel is lovely. It’s in a nice location, hotel employees are fabulous and nothing is too much trouble…restaurant is great and the food was lovely….. however…we got very little sleep. There is no soundproofing in the rooms.. you can hear everything and the noise from upstairs was bad with people just walking around and talking in their room. The superior room we booked was ok. Needs updating though. Peeling paint above the shower and the entire wooden floor creaked loudly whenever you walked on it. Not sure the room was worth the cost we paid 😞

Great staff and breakfast. Great shower but window in the bathroom would not open and there was no ventilation for the moisture. Room number 10 was literally about 4-5 yards from the roadway with cars traveling 60 miles an hour. Would be a great place to stay but not in the 3 rooms along the roadway.

Greetings, thank you for providing some positive feedback on your stay with us here at the Inn at Lathones, I am glad to hear that you have had a lovely stay. I'm glad you liked the shower in your accommodation, it is a brand new instillation that our Head of Maintenance has worked extremely hard on, so I will be sure to commend his hard work. In regards to the ventilation in your accommodation, there is an extractor fan present in the bathroom that you mention, and the bathroom window can open fully to provide further fresh air and ventilation if needed, I do with you had made a member of staff ware of these issues during your stay, as we would have quickly resolved any potential issues you may have been facing. However I fully appreciate your feedback, and we will look to investigate on your comments and to improve where possible. In response to your comments regarding the location of your accommodation, all of our rooms are well appointed, and being a traditional 17th century Coaching Inn we do indeed have rooms located near the roadside, however this road is extremely quiet through the hours of the evening, and the rooms in question have ample sound proofing as well as an exterior decking space that acts as a barrier of sorts for any potential road noise. Thank you again for your feedback, and I hope you will consider making a return visit to the Inn sometime in the near future. Kind Regards Jack Gourlay General Manager

In response to your comments regarding the location of the Inn, we are located a mere 5.6 Miles away from the heart of St. Andrews, with plenty of public transport options available daily, including a local bus service that runs hourly throughout the day, making travel to and from the Inn very simple and hassle free. I am sorry to hear that you decided to shorten your stay with us, however you made this choice of your own accord, and you had access to the location of the Inn before placing your booking, as it is clearly visible on all booking sites, as well as the confirmation Email that you will have received upon placing your booking.I hope this will not deter you from considering making a return trip to the Inn sometime in the future.

Fantastic couple of nights stay with wife and dog. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Booked the superior room which is very large with nice bathroom (separate walk-in shower & bath). Patio doors opened onto private deck which was ideal for our dog. The only minor issue was the creaking wooden floor in the bedroom beside the door into the bathroom. If you get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom you will inevitably wake up your partner. Had breakfast and evening meals both days which were excellent. Ideal base for exploring the East Neuk. Would definitely book again.

Brilliant Break
Really well situated just outside of St Andrews with easy access to lots of attractions. Staff are extremely friendly and the room was fantastic! One of the best meals we’ve ever eaten in the restaurant in front of the fire! Perfect stay!

perfect for St Andrews and the East Neuk
Outstanding! From location to accommodation to restaurant to staff, The Inn at Lathones is the best choice for staying on the East Neuk. Perfect spot for visiting St Andrews and driving the coastal trail. We also went up to the V&A Dundee and Discovery Waterfront from here. Our room was great, the manager Jack made every experience here super pleasant and the food was excellent - highly recommend the soup of the day every day!

this is how to see St Andrews and area!
Can't imagine there's a better way to see the East Neuk and St Andrews (don't forget Dunfermline and Dundee) than to stay at The Inn at Lathones. Centrally located for easy driving, and with room to relax and delicious dinner, it's a perfect venue for this coastal area. The charming property (our hayloft room was so comfy) and warm, yummy meals with manager Jack seeming able to accomplish everything made for three great days around the coastal towns. We'd highly recommend this awesome stay for any reason that brings you to the area.

The Inn at Lathones is exactly that. An Inn! It is not a five star nor will it ever be they advertise that they are a three star inn and we would agree that it is a five star, three star inn. The staff (Kay at checkin was incredible very friendly and considerate. Her team mate Jack was just as pleasant and knowledgeable about the Inn. The rooms are quaint and suitable for travel around the area. 10 min to St Andrew’s. Very clean and cozy. The bed was a little uncomfortable but not many hotels are either. We enjoyed a wonderfully delicious meal in private in the main dinning room where history spoke through the walls in the building from 1774. The food was always piping hot even breakfast and selection was broad. We would highly recommend the tour of the Best kept Secret in Scotland as well. The Inn is what we had hoped and would highly suggest staying there while in the area.

Casual business trip. This is very unassuming place on the outside with the big heart inside. You have to have means of transport to be able to reach places around, but everything else is just good. For me this place always will be “from home to home “ Thanks a lot for everything guys
