At No 5 Pilmour, travellers highlight a central, walkable base near the Old Course, very friendly staff, and consistently praised breakfasts, with comfortable rooms and modern bathrooms, though sizes vary and upper floors are accessed only by stairs.

Wi‑Fi strength varies by room or building, parking around the property can be tricky, and check‑in is sometimes handled at the sister pub next door. A good fit for travellers comfortable with simple access arrangements and a few practical trade‑offs.

Enjoyed my stay and wished it would’ve been longer. The suite was a gem! Parking in St Andrews can be tricky, but found a great spot close to the room.

As a golfer, visiting St Andrews is essentially a pilgrimage trip. With the Old Course and it’s associated restaurant 5 minutes of walk away, limited room space and lack of on-spot parking are bearable especially with breakfast included!

The room was nice other than being on the 3rd floor with no elevator and two twin beds instead of a king. The check in is different, you go to the pub next door and they check you in and the young man carried our bags up and down the stairs. The area is perfect and the pub is a great place to hangout after a round.

Great location to most attractions, shopping, and the golf course in St Andrew’s. Convenient walk one block over to the main shopping street which has lots of shops and places to eat. There is no parking onsite but the we found parking a block away. Breakfast in the morning was good and staff were friendly.

We enjoyed our visit to St. Andrews. Our room was very nice, clean, comfortable bed, large bathroom. Great location, easy walk to downtown, beach, golf course and college. Fun pub next door but not loud in evening. Our breakfast was wonderful. There was no elevator. We would stay here again.

We loved our stay in the back cottage. The place was very clean and super cute. My only problem is the wifi in the cottage was really weak so if you need that it would probably be better if you book a room in the hotel part. Otherwise the staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast included was delicious. Very close to the old course. Had a great stay and would definitely stay there again

Comfortable beds, spacious bath, appeared to be recently remodeled. Excellent breakfast and wonderful staff. Would have given a 5 star rating except there were minor annoyances. In the third floor room, it is very easy to hit you head on the sloped ceiling when getting out of bed. Power outlets were somewhat inconveniently located and lights with with USB power ports did not work (or the switch to turn them on was not easily found). A nice touch was the towel heater in the bathroom but there wasn't an obvious way to turn it on. Would not recommend for anyone who isn't comfortable carrying their bags from a parking lot a block away or is not comfortable carry their bags up1-2 flights of stairs.

Everything about the room was wonderful. Breakfast was amazing. Staff were incredibly professional, sweet, and pleasant. I would visit again due to the service and quality of food alone. However, I would not recommend my room for more than one person or a couple. The room was small, but cozy. There was no AC, but it was not really necessary. Shower was small as well so be prepared if you are taller or larger. Those were the only slight "downsides." Otherwise the stay was perfect.

Shows WiFi available, tried running a download speed test which was very very poor, compared to the remainder of the property. Didn’t spoil stay, but if it was for longer it may have.

The only negative was that they turned off the power in our room 15 minutes before checkout and I was still finishing packing up.

We had two rooms for 4 people. One room was the detached back cottage with two twin beds and a bit smaller bathroom that our older daughters used, and one room was upstairs with nice space and a very nice restrooms including modern shower my wife and I used. The location was perfect for our brief visit to see some of the St Andrews history and visit the Old Course. The provided breakfast was superb and we enjoyed talking with the staff. The sister property, Dunvegan Hotel, had a nice bar for drinks and listening to the golfers coming in tell their stories. We would stay here again.

We took two rooms at 5 Pilmour Place. Beautiful rooms and bathrooms. Very comfortable and great location to all St. Andrews has to offer. It seemed that a noise curfew might be enforced as the bar quieted just after 11.30pm. Do not rely on the staff as they do not respond to the calls made to the local number they provided and forget requesting an early take away breakfast as we did and it was not provided even though the back up staff at their sister establishment took our order requests. Two thumbs down for integrity!
