Discovering a Sanctuary of Luxury
The journey begins as you arrive at Fairmont St Andrews, greeted by sweeping vistas of the North Sea and the meticulously manicured grounds that surround the resort. The accommodations, ranging from spacious guest rooms to lavish suites and private manor homes, exude elegance and comfort at every turn. Each meticulously appointed living space offers panoramic views of the sea, the renowned championship links golf courses, or the verdant gardens, inviting guests to unwind in style.
The Manor Homes
We recently stayed as a family in the four-bedroom QueenAsk Manor Home, which boasts a magnificent foyer, living room, movie room, gourmet kitchen/dining area, and a formal dining room with a bay window that overlooks the Links.
Guests are granted unlimited access to the five-star resort’s amenities, including championship golf courses, dining options, bars, and spas. The extra perk is the option to bring in a personal chef to your Manor Home. An ideal add-on for the holidays, special occasions, or simply a night you’d rather spend with your family than in the kitchen, Fairmont’s private chefs cater to all your culinary desires.
With designs and layouts that exude a sense of homeliness, relaxation, and warmth, the Manor Homes provide an elevated luxury residential experience in the Home of Golf. The Manor Homes are the epitome of contemporary Scottish luxury and offer a quiet retreat just outside the popular hotel.

Designed by renowned architects, these courses present a challenge to players of all skill levels, while providing a feast for the senses with their undulating fairways and breathtaking vistas.
