Which area of St Andrews is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?
The best area to stay in St Andrews for pet-friendly hotels is generally within the town centre or slightly to its outskirts, offering a balance of convenience and accessible green spaces.

The town centre itself is very walkable and provides easy access to the main attractions, including the historic university buildings, St Andrews Cathedral, and the Old Course.

Couples travelling with their furry companions will appreciate being close to restaurants and shops, many of which welcome well-behaved dogs.

For those who prefer a slightly quieter setting but still want to be close to the action, areas just outside the immediate town centre, such as those towards the Lade Braes Walk, are excellent.

How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in St Andrews?
To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the "Amenities" section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the "Policies" section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones.When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets. For added peace of mind, contact the hotel directly to confirm the room you've selected allows pets.
What pet-friendly activities should we do in St Andrews?

There are usually fewer restrictions on dogs further north along the beach, away from the main car park near the Old Course. It's a great spot for couples or families with pets to enjoy the fresh sea air and stunning views of the North Sea.

Another excellent option is exploring the Fife Coastal Path, which runs through St Andrews. Specific sections, like the stretch towards Kingsbarns or the path leading to the East Sands, offer scenic walks with plenty of space for dogs. These routes provide a chance to see more of the local landscape and coastline, with many opportunities for your pet to enjoy the outdoors.

For a more relaxed outing, consider a stroll through the St Andrews Botanic Garden. While dogs aren't allowed inside the glasshouses or certain sensitive areas, they are generally welcome on leads throughout the main garden grounds.
