"Not a better place to stay in St. Andrews. Location is A+. Breakfast was great each day and the people were amazing. Specifically Luke, Mark, George, Isabel, and Jeremy are easily the best hosts in the city. They are extremely engaging and helpful for whatever our needs happened to be for the day. My wife and I have stayed just about everywhere and the Dunvegan is by far our favorite place to stay and hang out in St. Andrews. Also loving the new Longhorn helmet and flag to go with the Texas A&M gear! Already looking forward to our next trip and can't wait for the Open Championship in 2027!"

"It was really lovely, clean, easy to find and so close to the sea! Great to leave luggage for the day! Only things I noted were no mirror in the bedroom so tricky to get ready when the bathroomwas occupied, no hand towel, no kettle in the room, the lack of a cup of tea in the morning really wasn't good for me. I'm not a coffee drinker so if you are then you're winning! There were nice breakfast pan au chocolates and options for tea but I couldn't figure out the machine to just boil water. Plus, I really didn't want to go downstairs in my pyjamas for a brew all bleary eyed! Honestly though, we really liked it and would stay again."
