Overlooking the famous Old Course in St Andrews centre, Rusacks St Andrews features valet parking is available and free WiFi throughout the property.

The rooms each have a modern bathroom with free designer toiletries and a hairdryer. Rooms also feature a flat-screen satellite TV and tea/coffee making facilities. The Rusacks is just fantastic. This was our second stay and as delightful and comfortable as last years. This time we had a smaller room in the older part which was just as nice as the larger one we had last time. But the best part is always the breakfast (the salmon and avocado on sourdough are awesome) and dinner at the rooftop restaurant which we always enjoy at least once during our stay. The staff is always friendly and so helpful and goes the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. Also, this year we used the valet parking and our electric car was charged automatically by hotel staff - this is excellent service. We'll be coming back later this year and next year.
