This year the 520-acre resort has something for all ages with a variety of onsite activities.

Take a Segway tour around the rolling landscape and learn a new skill! Or fly a kite atop of the cliffs of St Andrews Bay. If adventure is more your style, a guided coastal walk with Neil Dobson, marine archeologist, is a great choice, learn about the history of the landscape, a few exciting stories and before you know it, you are walking along the St Andrews harbor pier! Perhaps the family is interested in foraging and really reconnecting to nature? Sign up for the foraging, wildlife and rockpooling tours with Tony Wilson.

Other exciting onsite activities include falconry, archery, kite-flying, garden games, golf lessons (child, family or adult), while for those looking for a little me time the spa, pool and treatment rooms will offer a relaxing alternative.
