This highly desirable alternative to staying in St Andrews commands wonderful views over Largo Bay and offers several dining alternatives, all of a very high standard. In the elegant Terrace Brasserie and Grill a starter might consist of fresh local crab, lime and spring onion salsa, though the house seafood chowder is renowned.

A range of salads can be taken as a starter or main course and apart from the inevitable, and very good, Caesar salad, there is a smoked chicken version with asparagus, artichoke, beansprouts and leaves. Main courses tend to be ample - try the fillet of North Atlantic herb-crusted salmon served on a warm potato and horseradish salad, or the pepper-studded sirloin steak, flamed with lemon, cognac and double cream. The salmon bagger is a 12oz sirloin steak stuffed with salmon, and very good luck to you, I will stick to my 20oz T-bone if excess is to be the order of the day.

The association of curry, rum, bananas and honey served in a crisp tuille basket is irresistible, in which case you will be saved the trouble of scanning the rest of the menu, though do leave a space for some of their delectable house shortbread which comes with the coffee.

The wine list is exemplary, and those whose palate is forever in France will not be disappointed.
