House on the Burn
House on the Burn, 8 Dempster Terrace, St Andrews | Sleeps 12
Nestled on Dempster Terrace in St Andrews, this exquisite six-bedroom property blends historical charm with modern luxury, framed by a large, well-maintained front garden with mature trees and direct access to the tranquil setting of the Kinness Burn, where ducks rest by the water.
Sleeping up to 12 guests across 6 spacious king-size bedrooms, with three family bathrooms and an additional WC, the house is an outstanding choice for large groups, golf parties, and families visiting the Home of Golf — and it is fully pet-friendly.
