A dream destination for golfing gourmets, Geoffrey and Katherine Smeddle's restaurant with rooms offers Michelin-starred cooking just a 12-minute drive from St Andrews. 'Good food' and 'good value', concludes a reader. Whitewash and window boxes at this former Georgian coaching inn seem to speak of a traditional pub, but the interior is smart and contemporary, with modern artwork that complements the decor. Geoffrey brings classical training to his creative cooking of seasonal Scottish ingredients, and has had Michelin's seal of approval every year since 2010. Returning readers concur that the food continues to be 'excellent'. A typical four-course meal might start with crostini of East Neuk crab, followed by monkfish cheek with scallop boudin and caviar crème frâiche sauce, then braised daube of Scottish beef with stuffed courgette flower before ending with praline and salted caramel mousse. Tasting menus are also served. In The Residence, all but one of the suites are split level, with views over the neat garden to fields. They have walk-in or over-bath showers, fridges, tea and coffee, and are decorated in taupe, turquoise and teal. 'Our room was lovely and very comfortable.' A continental breakfast is delivered to your room. (Robert Gower, A and SM)
