Haar with Rooms 5 Stars

Very enjoyable stay. Comfortable bed so slept well. Coffee machine in room and homemade shortbread was a lovely touch. Dinner and breakfast amazing as were the staff. I will definitely return and have already recommended to friends. Great central location and close to beach area and shops. A great foodie experience all round.

Comfortable, clean, compact room, with a great shower facility. Although small, it had everything we required for our stay. The bed was super comfy and the towels and bathrobes were well sized and fluffy. Hotel is in a prime location for exploring the town attractions, sea front and, of course, the golf course.

This is a gastronomical restaurant with hotel rooms attached. So it’s a not obvious that it’s a hotel - but it is a gem . The rooms were small(ish) but we had a view to the sea, and they’re beautifully appointed. The young staff are helpful and charming. Breakfast, included in room fee, is outta this world. We were traveling w teens so didn’t take advantage of the tasting menu dinner. All in all, wonderful.

Pros: clean, reasonable bathroom, good breakfast, good location, nice receptionist. Cons: tiny tiny bedroom, poorly decorated, hot, tv doesn’t work, no wardrobe, no chair, no space for luggage, no desk, no lift, no parking, common parts clearly taken from a failing vegetarian restaurant, expensive, insecure locks, brown toilet roll. Overall, a bit pooey.

We had a lovely lunch at HAAR, which was exceptional food (A separate review). We also had booked to stay the night in their Standard King Room at a rate of £360 B&B. The room had everything one needed - locally sourced toiletries, water, shortbread and a nespesso machine; The bed was very comfortable. However it was small - I understand this is an old building, so space is limited, but found that it was overpriced. Especially as looking at costs subsequently, a week later they are approx £220 for the same room (£140 less than we paid last week). Also while there I received an email with an offer of DBB for £295 per night / 50% cheaper. HAAR, please standardise your room rates, so there is some consistency week to week.

Very small room indeed, bed comfortable enough. Lack of any wardrobe space, lack of coat hangers(4 No provided) a TV that totally refused to work and was impossible to programme and a shower whose temperature was impossible to control as it was boiling hot! Other than that everything was perfect!

Be careful here - room prices vary massively day to day and site to site (even their own) varies whether breakfast included - seemingly not even available Mon/Tues - but they took the booking only to tell me that 2 days before arrival. Cancelled of course and disappointed not to try restaurant. Denial rather than apology - so wont be going there now!

What a lovely place! The tasting menu was absolutely magnificent and beautifully presented! Right in the centre of St Andrews so handy for everything. Just loved it. My only criticism was that our bedroom was very small. There was nowhere to put the bed cushions when retiring. Despite that I would still return.

Stayed in Master King room. Fabulous comfortable big bed and gorgeous bathroom. Toiletries from Laura Thomas to add to the luxury. We had the tasting menu and added Chefs lobster (Signature dish) and the Wagu beef. It would be easy to run out of superlatives going through this menu, it was sublime. Dean Banks team here are fabulous and we were so well taken care of. The culinary journey was explained from the snacks at Chefs Table through to dessert, I could have eaten a vat of the Tonka Bean ice cream. I have to mention the art work in the restaurant, it is beautuful and crefit goes to Isabele Banks. I loved everything about our stay here and we will certainly be back.
