Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa
St Andrews, Fife, Scotland
Overlooking the most famous golf hole in the world, but the family touches are thoughtful rather than token – splash time in the pool, clue-hunts round the hotel and milk and cookies at bedtime. Walk to the beach from Chariots of Fire and the town's sweet shops.
