Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa

For a golfer, what could be better than a visit to the "home of golf"? With 10 courses in the immediate area and 30 within a half-hour drive, St Andrews - and its resident resort, The Old Course Hotel - is truly golf mecca.

All rooms at The Old Course afford you a view over the course or across the hills of Fife. For a guaranteed panoramic view over the links courses to the Fife coastline, book one of the Old Course suites (complete with chromatherapy bath).

But The Old Course is not just for golfers. The hotel's Kohler Waters Spa (the first one outside the USA) features a very popular rooftop Jacuzzi. The steam rooms and the North Sea Stone massage are incredibly relaxing - just don't relax so much that you miss afternoon tea.

The Road Hole Grill's tasting menu uses the finest of Scottish and organic produce. From the home-baked bread to the dessert, a meal here is one you won't soon forget. For pub grub, try The Jigger Inn.
