The staff and service was first class, everyone from reception, catering and the staff looking after the rooms. All were a credit to the University. I was proud to be Scottish and born and bred in St Andrews, although I left in 1966! 50 years ago.

Excellent for a stay for a large family group, everyone gets a room each and much more informal than a hotel.

The food was very good and the catering staff lovely.

Breakfast is self-service in the cafeteria, the choice is huge and the quality excellent.

Spacious rooms and apartment, kitchen equipment covered all requirements.

Comfortable and affordable accommodation.

Whatever a golfer needs was there.

The friendly staff, especially enjoyed the warm greeting from the staff at DRA canteen every day. Also appreciate the daily housekeeping team. Will definitely revisit DRA if I got a chance in the future.
