It looked to good to be true, but it wasn't!
Wow! What a fabulous home, location, view - the total experience was everything we hoped it would be and more. If you ever need a place in Scotland to base your buddies golf trip, look no further than Swilken View. The owner was engaged with us the entire time, begining 2 years ago when we made the reservations. AMAZING!

The unit worked out perfectly for us. The unit had all the amenities we could have wanted. Kitchen was very well stocked and appointed. Bedrooms and bathrooms the same. Large dining room and sitting room. Majestic view of the Old Course and St Andrews Links. We hope to be back.

BEST option for golfers!
Swilken View is the ideal property for a group on a golf holiday in Fife. To wake up every morning looking out over The Old Course is just incredible! There is no better location in St Andrews - walking distance to most everything. It appears the kitchen was recently remodeled with great appliances. While it could sleep 8, the 4 bedrooms allowed our foursome each a private room. The laundry room came in handy for mid-week washing. This place was so great that i would plan our next trip around Swilken View availability.

Awesome!!!!!
This has to be the best place to stay in St. Andrews, especially if you are a golfer. We had 4 couples come from NY for a week. Couldn’t dream of anything better. The place was outstanding in every way. Waking up to the view is a hard thing to leave and come home. The house has everything you could ever want. I will recommend this to every golfer I know. And hopefully will be back soon.

Fabulous golfing nest
Swilken View is a truly fabulous place to stay when visiting St Andrews. If you are a golfer, the location can hardly be bettered, overlooking the Old Course and as the name implies, the centuries old Swilken Bridge. The house is spacious and comfortable and exactly as described in the web pages. We all loved it.
