Lovely home

Very close to the Old Course and easy to access the rest of St Andrews. Having 3 bedrooms was wonderful and the 2.5 baths. Beautiful sunroom to hang out in later in the day. Definitely would stay again.

Comfortable and Well Located

The Vintage is in a perfect spot to access the Old Course, the beach, the castle and old-town St. Andrews. Comfortable and spacious for a flat, even the upstairs bedrooms are more spacious than typical. Loved it and would stay again.

Beautiful well-equipped house on quiet lane. Easy walk to everything in St. Andrews.

A wonderful base from which to explore all that St. Andrews offers. Right by the Old Course and the West Sands of Chariots of Fire fame. An absolute delight to stay in this lovely property.

Unique property, outstanding location

Pluses: Very unique property, outstanding location - centrally located but quiet, easy check-in/out. Minuses: Couches are a bit worn, and the house was chilly during our rainy February visit. That said, we’d choose to stay here again, albeit in warmer weather.

Nice lodgings in great location

This cottage was perfect for our five adults, some playing golf and others just relaxing and exploring. Everything was clean and in good condition and as advertised. We had no need to request assistance during our stay, but our host checked in with us midway through. Located very close to the St Andrews golf courses, shopping and restaurants. We were there in late June and kept very comfortable and sometimes cold, which provides a great night sleep, by opening windows. A very easy and enjoyable stay. We would book again!

Location. Location. Location.

The Vintage was great. We had four adults in town for the week to golf. The property was very clean and nicely furnished. Christian was responsive and great to deal with. The best part about the Vintage was it’s location. A few minutes walk to great bars and restaurants, as well as the Old Course starter. We were able to meet shuttles and taxis at the R&A car park as well, which made getting around very simple. Would highly recommend for any golfers visiting St. Andrews!

The Vintage is the perfect home base for a golf trip

Christian was responsive and incredibly easy to deal with. Location between Old Course and restaurants and pubs couldn't be better. VRBO itself was perfect for us - we were a group of 6 men travelling for golf, and this house worked great. Sitting area with large table under the glass provided huge amount of room for playing cards and eating. More space than the pictures would indicate. St. Andrew's is a special place for golfer's, and a great town for anyone to visit. Our recommendations: Best Courses are Old Course, Kingsbarn's and Castle. Little Italy for dinner and Bibi's Cafe for Breakfast a couple favourites for food. And of course need to grab a pint at The Dunvegan. Best shops for merchandise were The Old Course Shop across from the 18th green of the Old Course and The Pro Shop in the Old Course Hotel. Great VRBO - amazing experience! Thanks again, Christian.

Great stay and fab location in St Andrews. Could do with a bit of modernisation but was very clean and well appointed (except no pizza cutter and fridge had broken shelves). Would book again due to its locality. Thanks.

Fantastic Spot in St Andrews

Property is ideally located and was very comfortable for our group of four golfers. Loved being just off the Scores. The sun room was our favorite spot. I've been to St Andrews 7 times and this was by far the best spot I've stayed.

St Andrews Wedding Getaway

My wife and I were the parents of the groom for a large St Andrews Wedding. About 70 Yanks made the trip including family and friends. Mostly we loved the cottage because it was very comfortable, full of character, quiet, with a great location. But also it was easy to accommodate wedding guests stopping by to say hi and share a glass of wine or whisky. The kitchen is terrific. I thought the pretty small fridge might be too small - but it was fine. There is a clothes line, so when it stopped raining it was easy to dry clothes. My wife's parents stayed downstairs with their own bathroom, while my wife and I took up the whole upstairs. It was very private and worked out great. The very best part of the place is the conservatory. 1st thing in the morning and at night - this was a perfect place. Just beautiful and wonderful. It would get a bit hot during the day if the skylights and windows weren't opened, but if they were things stayed comfortable. This cottage worked perfectly for us. But would also be perfect for golf or visiting kids at Uni. When we return to St Andrews we will want to stay here.
