About The Kithmore Hotel

Set across three elegant Georgian townhouses on Playfair Terrace, North Street, our boutique hotel is just moments from The Royal and Ancient Golf Club and the iconic Old Course. Dating back to 1847, the building has been carefully restored to preserve its original character and heritage features, thoughtfully balanced with the comforts of modern hospitality. The name The Kithmore nods to the Scots word kith, meaning friendship, familiarity and a sense of home. With a spacious bar, restaurant and outdoor terrace, it will be a welcoming place where golfers, visitors and locals alike can gather, unwind and enjoy its easy, homely charm. Expect a strong focus on quality, with menus celebrating Scotland’s local larder, from light bites on summer evenings to generous plates perfect after a day on the links. Bennie's Restaurant - Our modern take on the traditional pub experience offers the same warm, welcoming environment Scotland is known for, with an elevated culinary experience beyond the usual fare. Join us at Bennie’s for cozy comforts made modern for St. Andrews, one and all.

    Disappointing

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The bed was comfortable with clean linen. The view was great but 5 flights of stairs to obtain it. There is no lift, there are 13 steps to the reception. The rooms are up and down steps. the rooms were hot, no air conditioning and requests for fans were ignored. The 'cosy' room is so small you cannot walk around the bed normally, only sideways, you cannot open suitcases on the floor. The bathroom was very small I had to go sideways into the shower. No extras like shower caps were provided. My friends bathroom flooded the bath mat was not changed and the bin had not been emptied in the bathroom when she arrived. I was with an elderly friend and our rooms were so far apart, which was inconvenient as my friend was 88 with a heart condition and needed help get up and down the 3 flights to her room. The service at breakfast was awful, there was no help you had to ask more than once for anything I was not offered tea or coffee and couldn't be bothered trying to attract their attention. This hotel does not offer value for money the rooms are hot and difficult to access.

    Great location, awesome renovations. Nice staff, good restaurant. No AC at that price is a tough pill to swallow. Had to ask for fans after being put in the top floor room with small windows. Had to ask for a second towel (despite staying in a double room with my spouse) twice. The WiFi was very annoying, disconnecting and asking you to resign in every few moments.

    Good location, clean and comfortable The breakfast on the first two days was utterly terrible. Following that it was actually excellent. I’m assuming they changed the chef - whoever they originally used was definitely in the wrong line of work.

    Lovely room Great shower Comfortable and clean beds Welcoming staff Great location The breakfast was disappointing. We had to wait a while for it to be served. Overcooked, inedible bacon and potato scones. Toaster didn't work well. Despite this, enjoyed the coffee and pastries.

    Very friendly staff. Room was cosy and painted in relaxing colours. Lovely breakfast with huge choice. We stayed for my daughters graduation ceremony and the reception staff congratulated my daughter and helped make it a really special day. Would be good if this hotel accepted dogs.
