I also loved being able to go for run through the property and directly to the sea in the morning! "
"The location was fantastic with great views of the ocean and it was a quick walk into town. Pam was a great host and very helpful and her breakfast menu was varied and tasty with lots of options. The house aand room were very well maintained and you could sit in the front yard (which was also lovely) and have a cuppa and enjoy the views.

"Rusacks is an excellent in a perfect location in terms of access to St Andrews town and The Old Course. Highly recommended."
"Very nice resort-style hotel away from St. Andrews a bit. Easy access by taxi (not an Uber town). We had a car, but taxi made town and restaurant access easier. Hotel has lovely bar and dining facilities, but St. Andrews is easy to get to as well. We had a woodland suite, which are modern/new rooms a short walk from the main inn. "

"Perfect choice of hotel for a stay in St. Andrew’s. Centrally located, super helpful staff, and a full breakfast was a great way to start the day. I will say that sound travels pretty easily (I could make out conversations from other rooms), but even as a light sleeper I had no issues. Would definitely recommend to anyone!"
