We stayed here in early April '06. A very nice property situated in downtown St. Andrews. You will be close to all that you likely will wish to see and do in the village of St. Andrews (we actually parked our car on the street out front and didn't touch it until we left 4 days later)!

Rooms were well maintained, serviced every day, and the front rooms overlook the West Sands Beach. The water pressure for the shower in our room was a bit weak, . . . but was usable. Breakfast each morning was freshly prepared to order in the small dining room, and the staff was simply outstanding!

We booked our golf package through the hotel and Michael was very patient with the many questions we asked prior to booking. As mentioned in an earlier review, there is a room off the front door for reading, club storage, and it has a computer for internet access for guests. Not published or listed, but the hotel also has wireless internet access which at the time we were there was open and we were able to connect via our laptop in our room. Ma Bells down the street also is a WiFi hot spot.

If you are looking for a small hotel in St. Andrews, whether it is for golf, sightseeing, visiting, etc., . . . I would highly recommend that you look at the Hazelbank as one of your options.

Might I also suggest that if you are looking for golf art/photos, . . . that you visit the gallery at the end of the street (towards the old course). I believe the shop is in the ground floor of the Scores hotel. Very nice proprietor and she will ship your purchases back for you.

I recently returned from a stay at the Hazelbank Hotel in St. Andrews, Scotland and found it to be a wonderful experience. The service was excellent, the breakfast was plentiful and the waitstaff was very attentive. The rooms were beautifully appointed and very well maintained. The hotel was within easy walking distance for shopping, exploring, and golfing. An added bonus was a study off the entrance lobby with a computer that had free internet access. The only downside for someone might be the stairs, but you could request the first floor room in advance. I would definitely return and would highly recommend a visit with Michael and Marian Henretty, the proprietors.

What a wonderful experience our group of 3 couples had staying at this small cozy hotel on October 20, 2005. The rooms themselves are decently appointed & clean but what's really special are the views of the sea, which are breathtaking, especially in the room with bay style window where we saw horseback riders at dawn walking the beach. You can even see The "Old Course" (2 min. walk) from the room! The breakfast was lovely & there is delicious food,drink & fun right next door at The Russell Hotel. The town is filled with welcoming pubs & shops. Last but not definately not least, the owners are so incredibly hospitable-they treated us like GOLD! We will never forget our wonderful visit & hope to return someday.
