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.

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!

Lovely cottage

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic, wonderful home!!

We had such a lovely stay in Ross’s home. It was the perfect size for our family of four, was perfectly clean, well-stocked kitchen, lovely outdoor garden, and just a few minutes walk to downtown St. Andrew’s. The host was absolutely fantastic in helping us arrange our stay! She answered our many questions promptly and even helped us arrange a delivery of groceries prior to our arrival. We will absolutely stay here again. It is a delightful place to visit St Andrews!

Great place to stay for golfing or visiting St. Andrews!

Cute place, safe location! Owners created a lovely manual with everything you need to know about the place and St. Andrews. Easy to walk to everything or drive if necessary (walking St. andrews is much more interesting!). Are flights were changed after we originally booked and Ron and Kath made it easy to add an extra day. Quiet neighbours. Will definitely be back!

Home from home in a great location

We stayed here for a weekend whilst watching a golf tournament on the Old Course. The location, quiet but within an easy 10 minute walk of the centre of St Andrews and 15 minutes from the Old Course, was perfect for us. The car didn’t move from arrival to departure. The cottage is warm and cosy, well presented and equipped. The host communicated brilliantly throughout. We will definitely visit again. Thank you
