t Andrews and golf go together like neeps and tatties — but on a long weekend at the Fairmont hotel in the city, we discovered a plethora of other gems hiding behind the immaculate apple-green lawns. Friendly Scottish hospitality, medieval history, honest food, stunning Fife coastal walks, a relaxing spa and a bevy of freely-available facilities — and all an easy train ride away from King’s Cross.
Where is it?
On a beautiful bay north of Edinburgh, the Fairmont St Andrews perches on the cliffs on the eastern coast of Fife. The university city’s 400-year-old castle and cathedral are a good walk away, and the 520-acre hotel is bordered by outrageously green golf courses and a craggy, magnificent coastline. It’s a short drive from Leuchars station, which is itself a five-and-a-half hour direct train ride from King’s Cross. (Or an hour and 20 minute flight to Edinburgh, plus the same time again in the car).
