Sustainable Responsibility

Sustainability has been a core pillar of Fairmont St Andrews operational standards since its inception in 2001.

Through the use of eco-friendly products and environmentally friendly practices, we have seen tangible and substantive reductions in our carbon footprint, contributions to landfills and the impact on the local environment.
Growing a large quantity of produce in the greenhouse and herb garden, we reduce the amount of road miles necessary to supply our kitchens. We also avidly support the local economy with 75% of food served in the hotel being sourced from Scotland.
In 2017, the Scottish Beekeepers Association assessed the estate to find it in commendable condition to host native bees. In 2018, we welcomed two bee nucs with Dark Native Scottish Honeybees which now thrive.
Replacing disposable water bottles in our 212 guestrooms with refillable glass bottles, we save an estimated 55,000 plastic bottles per year and encourage tap water, highlighting how topping up from the tap can benefit the environment.

Efficient check-in, and hospitality at it's best. It was a very pleasant stay for our large group attending the Seafood Summit.

Nice venue

The GSA Responsible Seafood Summit organizer booked the hotel for me much earlier this year. I never received a confirmation of this booking (although I asked for it several times) and as such never checked on # nights reserved. This is my fault (not GSA's) for not chasing the Fairmount for my booking. I am disappointed that the Fairmount felt it necessary to charge my company card for two nights extra as I did not arrive on Saturday as planned much earlier in the year. You certainly have my email address as you send me this survey! I think it only fair that you refund the extra two nights to my credit card ending in 0353. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Bill

Lovely hotel and location

From the moment you drive through the entrance to finding your room, the hotel, its surroundings and views are stunning. Staff were excellent and perhaps a little too attentive at times especially in La Cucina - frequently being asked if we are enjoying our meal by at least 3 different people, just let us enjoy it. We were disappointed when we got to the room, the floor had not been vacuumed properly, there were plastic tags from clothes labels on the floor along with other threads etc. there were dirty ring marks from drinks glass on one bedside cabinet and a bit of plastic wrapping on the floor in the bathroom. The shower was poor for an accessible room too, as a carer who needs to assist his wife in the shower it was awkward with the plastic shower curtain sticking to my body - needs more space. The shower was also too close to the door and I had to place a towel on the floor to prevent water soaking into the carpet. The light switch for the bathroom would be better located on the opposite side of the door too. The bed was very high in the middle and sloped to the edge, I felt I was continually sliding towards the edge of the bed. The golf clubhouse was a stunning place to relax though and I enjoyed a quiet drink there watching the golfers and taking in the stunning views. Overall we enjoyed our stay

Horrific!!!

Had to move room 3 times; had to unpack repack etc. Checked in at 4pm and did not get finally into a room until 8:50pm. That is just a small snippet of the horrific treatment I received!!!!

Superb Hotel

My wife and I have stayed many times at this hotel. It’s our first go to for a weekend or couple of nights away. The rooms are always excellent, and the customer service is 2nd to none. The staff are all excellent at what they do be it reception desk, concierge, guest driver, bar staff, and chefs in the Squires. The Spa and pool are also very good. I can not say enough good things about the Fairmont. I’ll be booking there again soon.
