"I stayed at Pilmour while visiting my son at St. Andrew's, and I never wanted to leave! Lovely large room with a beautiful clawfoot bathtub, wonderful breakfast and afternoon treats, and central location that is just minutes from the high street and the beach (and the golf course, which apparently is a big thing in St. Andrew's). The staff was also very accommodating when I needed to make a change to my booking. I'll absolutely be staying here again on my next visit!"
