This was a lovely house to stay in. It was very clean, the location was great and the communication with the owners was excellent. They had a nice book with places to eat and sightseeing recommendations. I would stay there again and will be recommending this to anyone I know that will be traveling to St. Andrews.

Golfing holiday in St Andrews

We loved the property. Perfect for our group of 4 adults who were on a golfing holiday. The walk to the courses in St Andrews were reasonable and we were close to all the shops and restaurants on Market and North Street. Adequate parking and seamless checkin/checkout process. Would strongly recommend

Great location, Great Home

The property is comfortable, and the rooms are impeccable decorated with fine linen and high end bedding. The only inconvenience is that it has one shower and the lighting in the shower room is dim. A quick upgrade to LED Soft white will do the trick. Nevertheless, there is a creek that flows behind the property that is idealic and the walk into town through the Briar path is a storybook experience. Will 100% stay here again. The garden in the back of the property is more than perfect.
