Ardgowan Hotel Transformed: £7.5M Revamp Renames It “The Kithmore”
The new name is inspired by the Scots word “Kith,” which signifies friendship, connection, and a sense of home. The refurbished hotel will offer 44 guestrooms ranging from cozy comfort to spacious suites. It also includes a 60-cover bar and restaurant, along with an expanded terrace.
The overhaul encompasses both interior and exterior redesigns as well as an extension. The design is a collaboration between local St Andrews architects and Scottish interior studios. The vision is to deliver a modern, timeless aesthetic that appeals to golfers, locals, and visitors alike.

The general manager shared that The Kithmore aims to create a warm, inviting atmosphere — a gathering place for golfers and the community to relax and enjoy. The cuisine will emphasize local ingredients, offering light bites, classic meals, and seasonal specialties.
Bookings will open in autumn 2025, allowing guests to experience the new hotel from its debut.
The rebranding and renewal of this hotel is a strategic boost for St Andrews as a golf destination. For golf travelers, The Kithmore will provide a premium base that blends prestige, comfort, and proximity to courses.
For ParadeGolf, The Kithmore is a compelling addition to luxury golf packages (Dream Packages, Signature Trips). It offers clients the option to stay in a newly transformed boutique hotel as part of a golf-centric journey.
