The Rusacks is just fantastic. This was our second stay and as delightful and comfortable as last years. This time we had a smaller room in the older part which was just as nice as the larger one we had last time. But the best part is always the breakfast (the salmon and avocado on sourdough are awesome) and dinner at the rooftop restaurant which we always enjoy at least once during our stay. The staff is always friendly and so helpful and goes the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. Also, this year we used the valet parking and our electric car was charged automatically by hotel staff - this is excellent service. We'll be coming back later this year and next year.

Exceptional food, classy service, super comfy mattress and bedding, hidden getaway feel. My husband said that it might be the best cooked breakfast he has ever had (which is high praise indeed given we have been lucky enough to travel extensively to some very exclusive resorts and hotels around the world).

Place is lovely and offers everything you may need. The view from the bedroom window was incredible! Common spaces are great, if we stayed longer, we would have definitely taken more advantage of staying and socializing there. Staff is very nice and helpful.

    The property was quiet and provided us with an excellent base to explore the surrounding area. It was a perfect balance of beachfront and forest, close enough to the estate facilities and Kingsbarns distillery but hidden enough to be isolated from the world. Loved the well equipped kitchen, coffee, marshmallows and the wood burning stove and fire pit were fab!

    Excellent location, the home was clean and tidy and just as expected. Very comfortable beds and within easy reach of St Andrews. Unfortunately the weather did not really lend itself to walks on the beach, but in better weather we would have made use of the easy access.
