St Andrews also makes a great base for touring the Kingdom and beyond. An easy drive from the hotel takes you into countryside which can seem like Scotland in miniature. Rich rural landscapes roll gently down to a rugged coastline peppered with small fishing villages, where you can watch the evening catch being landed as you sample the best fish and chips you'll probably ever taste. Should you seek a more cosmopolitan experience, the famous Forth Bridges to the south offer easy access to the cultural delights of Edinburgh, one of the most beautiful capital cities in Europe.
