Many of the traditional Georgian features are retained throughout the home, providing a characterful yet cosy base for your St Andrews' staycation.

The traditional Scottish ‘country home' theme can be felt throughout the apartment, and particularly into the kitchen. Equipped with all that is required for your stay, the spacious kitchen/dining room is the ideal room for evening entertainment. There is a separate utility room which houses the washer/dryer and is ideal for storing golf clubs and prams. To the rear is the last of the three bedrooms, which is a double.

  • One of my favourite places in the world, the Royal and Ancient Course at St Andrews, Scotland.

How brilliant is this course...incredible.  And if you don't like golf, fine, St Andrews is a cool little town.  I'd also recommend the Anstruther Fish Bar just down the coast a wee bit...and I don't really like fish and chips heaps, but delicious all the same.

For four golfers being a 5 minute walk to the Old Course was ideal. Very nice Unit that, while in a lower level, manages to feel light and airy with large windows. Would stay again.

The size is great !

The location is great and the size is very large. Difficult to get keys especially if you don’t have a car. We had a car but hard to find the little farm house with little shed at back to get keys.

perfect for golf and not golf

book this as soon as you see it... it is perfect- it is a good as it looks. location is 5 min walk to old course - short enough to carry your clubs but for my group, it was more perfect for those of us who stayed and walked around St Andrews. we had 6 people so the 3 bedrooms was perfect, and 2 baths was essential. The bedrooms are nicely separated front and back of the house and living and kitchen are large enough for all of us. Kitchen is very very nicely supplied... just look inside the top drawer to find the hidden drawer of eating utensils (I will admit to missing that the first day) There is a great pub half a block away (Blue Stane) the bus station is half a block away ( we did train and bus from edinburg super easy) walking around the town, shopping and eating and easy return to 8b whenever we needed to drop off packages or change clothes- Grocery store called TESCO is very close too. it is on opposite end of the CAstle and Cathedral but walking thru the university is half the fun. Management was responsive to calls, the only downside was the taxi out to get the key because we got there later than expected but not their fault and the key was exactly where they said.. and I did enjoy the scenic trip and the taxi guy gave me tips.
