Accommodation at Rufflets St Andrews
The 24 bedrooms in the main house are individually styled, each with its own layout, size and character. Room categories range from Classic Rooms, which are bright and well-appointed with countryside views, through to larger feature rooms and the Turret Suites, where the outlook stretches over the treetops and across the gardens. Because each room is different, it is worth contacting the team directly if you have specific preferences around bed configuration, room size or outlook.
As a historic building, the main house does not have a lift or air conditioning. That is worth knowing in advance, particularly for guests with mobility considerations or those travelling in the height of summer. What you get in return is thick walls, genuine character and an atmosphere that a purpose-built hotel cannot replicate. In-room amenities are in keeping with a quality country house property, and the service throughout is personal rather than transactional.
Food & Drink
The Brasserie works well for groups after a day on the course. The space is relaxed enough for a long dinner without feeling rushed, and the menu has enough range to keep everyone happy whether they are after something light or a full meal. Sunday lunch in the Dining Room is a particular highlight, the kind of long, leisurely affair that rounds off a golf weekend in exactly the right way. Afternoon tea is served daily between 2pm and 4.30pm, which is worth building into the schedule if you have a free afternoon mid-trip.
The 1924 Bar is the natural place to land after a round. Local beers, Scottish whiskies and a relaxed atmosphere make it a solid post-golf spot, whether you want to go through every shot or simply sit quietly with a dram and let the day settle. It is a proper bar rather than a hotel lobby afterthought, and it tends to draw guests back more than once during a stay.
The hotel's food philosophy, which it calls "The Chef and The Gardener," is built around the relationship between the kitchen and the garden, a commitment to Scottish produce and a respect for the seasons. For a golf hotel, the dining here punches well above what you might expect.
