Great place to stay if visiting St Andrews. Very close to town centre. Loved the property. Very well decorated and immaculate inside. Felt like home. We will be back for sure. Thank you to Mr and Mrs Cairns.

Shane United Kingdom

Beautiful location and all you could ask for self-catering accomadation

Aluson United Kingdom

Very well equipped house. Hosts were super friendly and made us a cup of tea on arrival/key handover. Nice touch to have fresh milk/juice and the house was nice and cosy for our whole stay.

Shirley United Kingdom

Very warm welcome from super hosts. Perfect location. Home from home! We will definitely stay again and highly recommend. We have been to St Andrews many times and this was by far the best stay we’ve had.

Eleanor United Kingdom

Excellent property to stay in. There were 5 of us staying for 3 nights whilst attending a wedding in St Andrews. The property had more than enough space for us to stay in and had more than enough amenities for us. The owners friend met us upon arrival and explained how everything worked. The property is very close to St Andrews town and also very warm as we were here in early January. We would highly recommend.
