Carnoustie Hotels

A golfing heritage to be proud of

Carnoustie has been a site of pilgrimage for golfers for some time now. The area has been used for golf for literally hundreds of years, with the course existing in one form or another since the 16th century. A permanent course was established in 1850, and has been one of the main hotspots of the golfing world ever since. The course was also the scene of Paul Lawrie's famous Open Championship win in 1999. Be sure to stop by and play a few rounds at these hallowed holes before you leave.

If golf isn't your thing, however, there's still plenty to do around the town. Watersports are a popular diversion, and you can experience sailing, windsurfing and more in the bay.

Intriguing local landmarks

The town itself boasts a number of historical sites, including the kirkyard and a medieval motte. Another attraction that draws visitors from across the region is Barry Mill. This National Trust building was built in 1783, although the site has been used for milling since the 16th century. It was commercially operational until as recently as 1983, and was restored by the Trust in 1988 to its former glory. Kids and adults alike will love seeing this slice of rural life as it used to be.

Carnoustie hotels and restaurants

Carnoustie boasts a diverse range of cafés and restaurants. Ganges on Park Avenue is one such establishment, garnering rave reviews for its consistently excellent Indian cuisine.

You won't have to worry about where to stay, either. The golfers among you will be well served by the Carnoustie Golf Hotel, which offers spectacular views of both the course and the town. If you would prefer to stay at a B&B, the Old Manor Carnoustie is known for its outstanding service.
