Me my daughter and grandaughter had a i night stay with breakfast we had a family room which had 2 double beds and quite spacious it was overlooking carpark so a bit noisy theough the evening . Bathroom had shower over bath with a bath screen which did leak a little Check in was quick and easy , my grandaughter and myself went swimming early afternoon i was quite surprised as the pool was smaller than i thought it would be it was busy but not over crowded The pool area was a bit tired looking and so too the changing rooms with only 2 cubicles for changing and my grandaughter being 11 needs her privacy so we had to wait for one to become free. Again most lockers were broken or missing keys Breakfast was very nice and freshly cooked You had continental, choice of cereals and fruit salad you cooked your own toast and they had machines for coffee, tea etc Service was very friendly and helpful Checkout was 11am and 12 on a sunday Will certainly be back

Very clean room. Very uncomfortable bed. I let reception staff know as a courtesy, not a complaint so next visitor didnt have poor nights sleep and was told a load of excuses how I could have remedied it. Sore and tired as I walked away with the receptionist shouting " Hope you have a merry Christmas" inappropriate. This is our 3rd visit this year. I wont be rushing back. As a addon since im revewing. Sauna was hroken . Swim changing rooms tatty, the lockers are broken. And steam room door wont close corrwctly.

It was a lovely overnight stay. We enjoyed the leisure facilities,the pool area was spotlessly clean,sauna steam room and jacuzzi was great. Our room was terrific,view to the sea,very spacious and a powerful shower. We didnt dine as we had eaten in St Andrews in the afternoon but the restraunt looked nice. Had a couple of drinks and a virw onto the course as the weather was still nice. Lovely place to spend an overnight stay. Will we be back ? YOU BET.

Nice room with a great view. The French doors wouldn’t shut properly which resulted in a constant draught. This was fine with the curtains shut. Good, comfortable bed. Tasty breakfast. Pool area was ok. Carnoustie village itself is a bit run down, but has some great restaurants and the beaches round about are fantastic

Bed was very hot in down duvet - no sheets to use instead. Nice spacious junior suite that we upgraded to but bed same size as normal, same coffee machine and disappointed there was no Elemis toiletries as stated. Bed side table was not in good condition. Not sure it was worth the upgrade.

The hotel is going theough a refit and the downstairs areas which have been done were great. The room was very tired but the bed comfortable so no real issue. The biggest criticism was no wi-fi coverage in the room which these days is a given. Was told there were "issues with the wi-fi provider" but this is such an easy fix in a modern construction building, there is no excuse. Wi fi in the bar was fine but as i had TEAMS meetings i couldnt do them from there. Otherwise, staff were excellent and the food was also pretty good. If they could just sort the wi fi i would definately stay again.

Friendly and helpful staff, and the Junior Suite room was very spacious and clean. The room, although apparently recently renovated, is rather dated. The bathroom has space for a separate shower, yet the shower is in the bath tub, and the tiny old-style wash basin really needs to be modernised. The biggest issue is the noise isolation from the wind. Carnoustie is a windy place, and the windows must have gaps that create a constant howl in the room.

I think the suites could be more of a suite rather than a larger standard room. I have stayed here for many years and usually choose a standard room. On this occasion i decided to pay extra for a suite. It was literally a larger room with a settee in it. I would have expected a few little luxuries (i.e bottle of water, laundry bag, a fan - due to the heat in the room, a larger T.V).

Good, big, room with lovely views over the golf course. Breakfast is one of the best I've had. All cooked to order, rather than the usual lukewarm buffet. Look forward to returning soon.

The hotel was fine but the restaurant was pure Fawlty Towers. Drinks ordered but not delivered, staff undertrained, food late and cold, portions small, plates not cleared, no sense of organisation anywhere. Maybe it was just a bad night but there should be no excuses really. Three stars for hotel quality only, but restaurant really needs to up it game.

Unbeatable position beside the Carnoustie Championship course, close to the beach, town and rail links, with great views. A few mention limited non‑golf activities locally and early mower noise for golf‑view rooms.

Very nice hotel and all staff are lovely. Good room size and cot with mattress provided for baby. It is just opposite a nice beach. Cooked Breakfast was great and made our baby feel very welcome despite the mess he was causing while eating his continental bf. Leisure facilities were nice but could be busy at times. Would go back for a short break.

I've stayed at Carnoustie Golf and Spa Hotel twice in as many months. Sadly i wasnt able to use the spa as my trips have been for work but the views are outstanding- each time I've stayed in a room with a view of the course. The third floor is a bit tired now and lacked a full length mirror but was very spacuous. The second floor with the renovated bathrooms and new carpets has made a huge difference, having stayed where they've yet to upgrade. Love the Highland Soap Company toiletries, the Nespresso machine and having an iron & ironing board is always welcome. The beds are very comfortable and you'll not want to get up in the morning - once you get to sleep (see below). Staff were mostly welcoming and helpful, the breakfast staff in particular are amongst the warmest people I've met. What I didnt like: room service - you need to ask for a menu at reception - that you'll need to phone for on your mobile phone because the telephone didn't work in either of my rooms. And if you're going to add some leaves / side salad to a plate, please add some dressing. But my biggest dislike: hearing people talk, snore, their TV in the room either side of me!! The walls clearly have no soundproofing whatsoever which was really disappointing and is probably why I wouldnt stay again - sleep is important.

Lovely well maintained hotel in an excellent location. Room with golf view was spacious but maybe a bit dated although very well maintained and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was not so good. Husbands full English definitely was not up to scratch. Bacon was like a piece of leather and sausage slightly burnt. Good choice of continental breakfast with pastries, cereal and fresh fruit. This would not prevent us staying here again as we had a very enjoyable stay and got lucky with the weather. Staff were professional and friendly.
