The Conservatory At The Old Course Hotel in Fife

The tea time , was great , the sandwiches were very good, rhe scones with the fresh butter , and petit fuars , were fresh and delicious,

Stayed inn the Old Course Hotel for the second time at the start of this year. It was ok but given the price of the stay and the service its not a place I would ever stay again. For me the rooms were tired and the service at the bar was very slow - although some of the staff were lovely - receptionists were fab. For me there are better places to stay I'm afraid to say

We had the pleasure of enjoying afternoon tea overlooking the beautiful old course at St. Andrews. The scones were made fresh out of the oven. So delicious! All the sandwiches and finger food offered were fresh and tasty. Many options of teas and even champagne! Would highly recommend.

We did not stay in the hotel but booked for afternoon tea in the conservatory ! We came for the weekend (in another hotel) and decided to book for AT before we came. It’s the worst AT I have had and I’ve had a few ! The service was atrocious! We sat down and we were asked if we were having champagne or prosecco ? Which I found weird, we booked for AT with champagne ! We were then asked which tea we wanted, 10 minutes later the tea and champagne came. We waited another 20 minutes before I asked when we were getting our food ! By this time the tea was cold ! Then a chap came out and apologised for the wait saying lots of people had came with other dietary requests and the chefs were busy making these ?? Ours was simple with NO dietary requests. Is that our fault? This is a five star hotel! We wanted the bill and it took a while to try and get someones attention. So I finally asked the same chap who apologised before and for the bill and could we have the cakes and scones put in a box. We didnt get the bill or box for another 15 minutes as 2 young couples right behind us were complaining about their food. So he brought the bill and brought the box TO ME ! REALLY ?? I had nothing to lift the cakes off the stand with and my fingers were sticky doing this. As I’ve said I have had many an AT and the waiter will ask if we want to take the extra cakes with us and takes the stand away and brings the cakes back in the box. I really could not believe a five star hotel could treat customers like this !
