Weekend in St Andrew’s

We had a great weekend in St Andrews. The house was in great condition and in an absolutely perfect location. All mod cons were included and the private parking space was a great bonus. Communication with the owners before and after was spot on too.

Golfing Holiday

The cottage and location were exactly as described and well placed for all of the activities around St Andrews. The cottage itself was very clean, well equipped and exceptional comfortable.Most importantly Kath and Ross our hosts could not have been more helpful, we had to make a small change to our booking which was dealt efficiently and without any fuss. I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage and the hosts to individuals or family's visiting the area.

This was the perfect property for our visit to St.Andrews! Everything was close and convenient - truly a walkable location. Our hosts, Ross and Kath, were so amazing and extremely helpful when the golfers in our group needed a ride and no cabs were available. Beautiful condo, fully stocked with everything we needed, large and very comfortable! Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay, the location is ideal for everything on offer in St Andrews. Communication with the owner was very good and the pictures do not do justice to this lovely property. Should we be back in St Andrews we would not hesitate to return to this property.

Thanksgiving weekend stay

Kath was proactive with suggestions for our visit and very responsive to questions. Check in was without issue and apartment afforded plenty of room for our family of 4. We were comfortably warm for some chilly nights and had plenty of natural lite during the day. Location was a simple and tranquil walk to St Andrews. We enjoyed the time thoroughly.

Charming stay in St. Andrews

We enjoyed our stay in St. Andrews. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We especially appreciated the location. We walked to castle, the cathedral, the old course, the harbor, and more. Shopping and dining were also close by. It made for a great vacation.

PERFECT LOCATION WITH ALL THE AMENITIES~

We stayed for 3 nights in September 2024. Home was spacious and comfortable. Host provided lots of info on the home and the town. We would stay here again and would gladly recommend to others travelling in the area. One note, there was a few scented products in the home, this was an issue for one of our party with allergies.

It was so close to everything. The ladies walked around during the day, while the guys played golf. Only thing I would have changed was a bathroom downstairs. But it was great and we would stay again.
