Rufflets St Andrews is widely recognised as one of Scotland’s most critically acclaimed hotels.

This recognition is the result of many years’ care, passion and delivering high levels of customer service. In 1952 the property was purchased and transformed from a private home into an impressive country house hotel. Ownership of Rufflets remains with the same family today, and they continue to put every effort into developing the hotel whilst retaining the original charm and ambience.

Set in 10 acres of award winning gardens on the outskirts of St Andrews, the hotel and grounds provide the idyllic backdrop for relaxing golf breaks.

RUFFLETS GUEST ROOMS
Rufflets St Andrews has 23 individually styled and tastefully decorated bedrooms. Unlike most of the larger chain hotels, Rufflets rooms are different shapes and sizes which adds to their individual character and distinct charm. The bedrooms in the main house are located on the first and second floors of the hotel and are accessed by stairs. Ground floor rooms are available in the Gate House or Rufflets Lodge.

The Gilroy Suite
Named after the original owner of Rufflets House. Located on the first floor and situated between the two turrets at the front of the house, it was created from two of the original principal bedrooms, each with a double-aspect south facing window overlooking the award winning formal gardens.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF GOLF
A golf bucket list is not complete without the experience of St Andrews Old Course. After all, this is where golf began. There is a nostalgic sense of timelessness here, but the courses have evolved to present the same challenges to today’s players as they did to legendary greats Tom Morris, Bobby Jones, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. St Andrews is as much the “Mecca of Golf” to the great champions as it is to the mere devotee.

The great links courses are strung like a necklace of pearls around the throat of the Firth of Forth — from Dunbar, North Berwick, Muirfield and Gullane on the south side of the Firth, up to the great bridges and back along the north shore, past Leven, Lundin, Dumbarnie, Elie, Anstruther, Crail and Kingsbarns, through St Andrews to Scotscraig, Panmure and Carnoustie. All are readily accessible from St Andrews, but in the town itself, the St Andrews Links Trust courses offer the tough tests of the Old, New and Jubilee and Eden courses.
