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. These locations often feature properties with more outdoor space and are directly adjacent to lovely walking paths, ideal for pets.

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.

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.
