The Dunvegan Hotel is fabulous! We loved our time there. The location is perfect, close to the courses, shops, beaches and St Andrews. The people and staff are amazing, so helpful, and so fun. It was lively in the pub area and dinner at the Claret Jug was great. Absolutely a place I'd recommend for repeat visits.

A place to be
The bar is a big favorite among locals and worldwide golfers. Old Course right close. Very pleasant and very friendly. "Hotel operations" are run out of the bar. Pleasant and quiet room with single beds (golfers' pref, i'm sure) with updated bathroom. Lovely breakfast. Free parking for rental in public lot nearby.

The Dunvegan was conveniently located to shops, golf, restaurants, and the university. The staff were kind, accommodating, and courteous. The pub had good food and a lively atmosphere. My daughter and I were very comfortable staying here and are definitely planning on staying again for all future visits.

St Andrews trip
We was there to play golf at St Andrews so location perfect, but a bit expensive, but then we are paying for location and the golfing history of the hotel, but service etc was excellent.

Wonderful hotel
I loved staying at The Dunvegan. First of all, the staff was outstanding. They were friendly and responsive. The hotel was clean, and my room was kept in prime condition. The breakfasts were yummy, and one night I ate in and the fish and chips were the best I've had. The hotel was central, so I could walk everywhere with ease. If I return to St. Andrews, The Dunvegan will be my first choice of where to stay. Thank you!

Fun spot from which to experience St. Andrew’s. Great staff. Comfortable, clean room. Only cautions are that parking is a couple blocks away and there is no elevator, so luggage must be carried up the narrow stairs to the 2nd floor. Would stay here again.
