"If you’re expecting a hotel overlooking the Old Course, you’ll be disappointed. But this modern hotel on the edge of town has sea views, two golf courses and a tartan-meets-the-sea vibe that combines well with the contemporary manor house decor – complete with the grand double staircase in the lobby. There’s a free shuttle service in and out of town and a great spa and pool that offers treatments by Ishga, Aromatherapy Associates and OPI. " - Fionn Davenport
