Loved by Rusacks St Andrews guests
"We stayed for two nights in a beautifully decorated room overlooking the old course, Swilcan bridge and west beach, a truly special view."
"We were pleasantly surprised at checkin with a grade to a 2 queen room with a sitting area with the best view of both the golf course and the water in the older part of the resort."
"Service is excellent - apart from the fantastic view and drinks on offer."
With a location nearly 5 minutes on foot from the famous Swilcan Bridge, the 5-star Rusacks St Andrews hotel provides 24-hour reception and wake-up service. The hotel is a good starting point for St Andrews's sports attractions, including The Old Course St Andrews, which is just 300 metres away.
Location
This St Andrews hotel is located a mere 10 minutes on foot from the British Golf Museum, within a 2-km distance of East Sands Beach. At the Rusacks St Andrews you'll be around 10 minutes on foot from West Sands.
Guests might as well enjoy proximity to Cockshaugh Park, situated only 0.8 km away. The accommodation is also just a few steps from the whole Craigtoun Country Park and St Andrews bus station is merely a 5-minute walk away.
Rooms
A mini fridge bar, tea and coffee-making facilities along with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels are provided in each of the allergy-free rooms at Rusacks St Andrews hotel. The rooms have carpeted floor. Bathroom amenities include a separate toilet and a shower, as well as comforts such as free toiletries and dressing gowns.
Eat & Drink
Guests can enjoy and unwind in one of the 2 in-house restaurants. The Rusacks is approximately 400 metres from The Seafood Ristorante, which serves delectable meals.
“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.”
