Agnes Blackadder & Powell Hall - University of St Andrews
Summer only
During term the hall houses students, so it is not a year-round hotel. For 2027 it takes guests from 5 June to 9 July and from 20 July to 29 August, with a gap in between, and bookings open in autumn 2026. The university rates it as three-star campus accommodation. Rooms sell out early for big golf weeks, so book as soon as dates open.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms are doubles, twins and larger family rooms with two double beds, all with a shower room, towels, TV, wi-fi and tea and coffee. Irons, hairdryers and travel cots can be borrowed from reception. Forbes Bar on site serves pizzas and burgers in the evenings during the summer season, and it is card-only.
Who it suits
Families and groups who want a straightforward, good-value base with breakfast and a car park will get the most from it. The North Haugh is on the west side of town, so the West Sands and the Old Course are within walking distance, and the Jigger Inn by the 17th hole is about half a kilometre away. It is quieter than staying in the centre, and handy if you are arriving by car.
