“With its perch overlooking the iconic Old Course and historic roots tracing back to the 1800s, this is a place steeped in golfing heritage and Scottish charm; expect modern comfort amidst classic elegance, including two acclaimed restaurants. It's a fine base for both experiencing the area's renowned courses and enjoying local attractions, especially with the rooftop terrace's panoramic views. I think golf enthusiasts and leisure seekers alike find their niche here.”

The upgrade to a room overlooking the golf course was special, i could see the west sands beach from the ceiling to floor windows. the large bedroom had a nice seating area. It was perfect for relaxation. breakfast was a treat with excellent choices, i savored every moment.

obstructed view large building
the breakfast was fine (nothing special) and the location is pretty central.
I was disappointed because the room i booked, the 'king room sea view,' actually had a very obstructed view. i could barely see the sea because a large building was directly in front of my window. I felt misled by the description.
