Very disappointed with the room we were given. Beds were comfortable enough and clean but basic cheap furnishings. The bathroom ceiling was covered in mould. Will not be returning

The Dunvegan is a legend. Check in and out if with the bartenders. The room was spacious. The people were amazing. The bar is one of the best I’ve ever been to anywhere. If you’re in town to play golf, you have to stay here. Cheers

It was such a great stay. The entire staff could not have been genuinely nicer, especially Mark . The room was perfect for our needs. The restaurant was packed but we still felt like we were treated like the only ones in the place . I will stay there on my next visit to St. Andrews without hesitation. Salute to the Dunvegan ! Vito

Not Great Sadly
First the good, very clean and location was great. All the staff were every friendly. The decor was a bit tired but it was ok. Breakfast wasn't great choice wise. Describing something as the full monty which only has egg, sausage, bacon and hash brown isn't a full monty. We are in Scotland, where's the haggis, black pudding, beans and tatties scone? It's very themed to Americans which is fine but surely people are visiting for a taste of Scotland? The shower was great but don't use it at night as it kicks off a couple of hours of pipe noise. Lastly the TV could only get BBC channels and not much else. For over 200 quid a night it felt very much more like a pub with rooms and even then it wasn't great. I know St Andrews has a premium price tag sometimes but this really wasn't worth much more than £100 a night let alone more than £200.

Great location for to see all St. Andrews Andrew’s to offer. We were fortunate that, our room had a problem, so on arrival we were put into a three bedroom suite across the street. What a treat! My only complaint would be a slight stale beer smell in the bar, but the staff was engaging and excellent, and the breakfast always also great.

Room was fine and good location but VERY noisy. Room was above pub and beer garden so no chance of an early night. Even throughout the night there was lots of activity (doors slamming, furniture being moved etc) so got very little sleep. Staff were friendly and accommodation was fine (although very pricy due to location) but unfortunately wont be returning.

Not a hotel as such more a restaurant & bar with rooms. The twin room we had was immaculately clean & the Dyson fan was a great touch. Shower room was very clean. I felt £200 a night was overpriced for the accommodation but tough times for hoteliers.

First trip out of lockdown
After previous bad experiences in other towns I would never normally stay in 'rooms above a pub'. The Dunvegan however was very good. The pub was very busy but it was very quiet in the room (admittedly 10.30pm close due to Covid may have helped). The room was really nice. Welcome at check in and throughout was genial and attentive. The pub is great. Breakfast was really good too.

Loved how central this hotel was. Honestly a 2 min walk down to the water in one direction, 2 minutes into town for the other. Loved the pictures of famous guests all over the walls downstairs and the bar had great seperated, covid friendly seating, with a few tvs for the football. Staff were all excellent, friendly and polite. Would definitely stay here again!
