Rooms
There is a spread of singles, doubles, twins and king rooms plus two suites, so it works for solo golfers as well as couples and small groups. Rooms come with free high-speed wi-fi and a hospitality tray stocked with Scottish shortbread, and breakfast is served in the hotel.
The bar and beer garden
The contemporary bar and restaurant is open to the street, and the south-facing beer garden at the back is one of the more sheltered spots in town for a drink on a sunny day. Having food and drink on site is handy on a wet evening, or after a long day on the links when you would rather not walk far.
The location
North Street is the university's front door: St Salvator's Chapel is a short walk west, and the castle, cathedral and Castle Sands are a few minutes east. Northpoint Café is just along the street for a coffee, and Dune is close by for seafood and cocktails. Everything in the old town is walkable from here, so you can leave the car parked for the whole stay. The hotel describes the Old Course as a short walk, and the West Sands lies just beyond it.
