Having stayed at the Hotel over the years we were aware,this time that the dining arrangements are now so expensive as to make one of the restaurants not somewhere we would wish to eat . Other than that the hotel is still somewhere we would happily recommend for position, comfort and the amazing staff

Poorly maintained property and disappointing service, not a five star experience by any means. However, highly recommend the restaurant on the top- the only highlight of our trip.

We just wrapped up our stay at the Rusacks, and it was hands down one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had anywhere. The property was immaculate — every space felt genuinely spotless, right down to the smallest details. But what really set this hotel apart was the service. This is, without exaggeration, the best hotel service we’ve encountered anywhere in the world. The entire staff was warm, attentive, and clearly took real pride in the experience they were creating for guests. A special mention goes to Lucas, who went above and beyond throughout our stay, the kind of hospitality that turns a great hotel into an unforgettable one. Between the location right on the 18th hole, the impeccable cleanliness, and truly world-class service, we couldn’t have asked for a better base for our time in St Andrews. We’re already looking forward to our next visit, we’ll be back as soon as we possibly can.
