If settings help distinguish hotels then Rufflets stands above the rest. This country house hotel enjoys the most enviable of locations - St Andrews, the home of golf with the famous Old Course, is right on the doorstep. Non-golfers don't be scared off. The medieval town also offers excellent shopping, museums and restaurants and in recent years is famed for the royal romance that blossomed at the University. In this tranquil corner of Fife there are also the quaint fishing ports of Crail, Anstruther and Pittenweem, from where there are superb coastal walks linking one village to the other along the cliff paths or across sandy beaches.
Family owned and managed since the 1950’s, Rufflets has been awarded AA Scottish Hotel of the Year 2015-2016, for its beautiful grounds and gardens, 24 luxurious bedrooms and excellent cuisine combined with a laid back and relaxed atmosphere. The Terrace Restaurant offers the very best of modern Scottish dining with dishes celebrating local ingredients such as fresh seafood from the East Neuk of Fife as well as local beef and lamb, enhanced by our home-grown vegetables, fruits and herbs.
The accommodation offers comfortable and contemporary décor and the fabulous Turret rooms are a must with their spectacular view across the formal gardens. Rufflets is not a stuffy place and it really is great for families; a range of family and child friendly accommodation is available in both the main house and the lodges within the grounds. Dogs are welcome in the lodges by prior arrangement.
