    Golfing Break in St Andrews

    A fabulous property to stay in overlooking the 17th green and the Swilkin Bridge of the Old Course. Accommodates 4 golfers with ease. Accommodation will easily accommodate 8 although all won't get to watch the tv at the same time (The Masters is on and as we are golfers we were glued!) Wants for absolutely nothing and wouldn't hesitate to book again!

    Fifth stay at the 3 & 4 bedroom properties for our group of golfers. Both houses always excellently presented and maintained, great location for for the town, beaches and of course golf. Owner Kerr and staff look after us, ensuring through our stay all is well, nothing is ever too much trouble. Already looking forward to next year.

    Fabulous golfing nest

    Swilken View is a truly fabulous place to stay when visiting St Andrews. If you are a golfer, the location can hardly be bettered, overlooking the Old Course and as the name implies, the centuries old Swilken Bridge. The house is spacious and comfortable and exactly as described in the web pages. We all loved it.

    Fantastic Property for Golf Vacation!

    We rented both of Kerr’s properties for an 8 person golf trip. I can’t imagine there is a better place to stay in St. Andrew’s for this type of trip. Our place was spacious and very well equipped. The views of the old course are amazing and the garage was great for storing all of our golf gear. Kerr was very responsive. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking to have a home base in St. Andrew’s.
