Everything we could have possibly needed. Little one slept a dream in the 2nd bedroom and plenty of space for us. Right next to the beach, aquarium and just a short walk to the Main Street of St Andrews. Ideal location to make the most of a 2 night stay. Only minor downside for us was the stairs to the penthouse could be difficult with luggage and our little one but this did not ruin our stay. Appreciated the coffee machine and biscuits! ##### Emma M.
