Seaview Apartment
Really enjoyed our stay at Suzy’s place which is an easy walk into the centre of St Andrews but in a quiet area. The apartment had everything and Suzy provided various complimentary welcome snacks and basics to make initial moving in very easy. Thanks Suzy.

Peaceful St Andrews Retreat
A lovely home from home, with many wonderful little touches! We loved staying at Rachel's house.

❤️Stay Where All St Andrews is on the Doorstep!❤️
This Airbnb is well located but on the pricey side as there is no proper kitchen. Lounge area is pleasant and bright but the bed could do with a proper headboard. The street can be full of noise when the pubs/ student union close but this is no fault of the host.

The Edge - Amazing 140-foot" Cliff Top Views
We had the most incredible stay at Windy Edge. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true home away from home. The photos were stunning when we booked, but the reality exceeded every expectation. The property is modern, beautifully kept, and clearly designed with care – every detail thoughtfully considered. Lynsay and Dave were fantastic hosts, so welcoming and attentive from start to finish, making the whole experience seamless. The location is perfect – peaceful and tucked away, yet close enough to shops for anything you might need, striking the ideal balance. The views are truly something special, unlike anything I’ve seen before, and I’ve stayed in many beautiful places. Waking up to those stunning landscapes each morning was a real privilege. The space itself is spotless, spacious, and equipped with everything you could possibly need, my family made the most perfect memories together Can’t recommend Windy Edge highly enough – we will definitely be back xx

Stunning 2 bedroom home in the heart of St Andrews
Excellent accommodation, very clean, well equipped and as per the photos. Quiet location and very central and walkable to restaurants and attractions. Very good parking situation especially considering the central location. Host was very proactive and responsive to any communications.

High Draw | Near The Old Course
Absolutely loved staying in this little gem! Perfect for visiting my son whom is working in St Andrews for a few months. A beautifully presented flat with all the home comforts. I would highly recommend staying here

The Hideaway Pod in St Andrews
Our 2nd visit to the hideaway pod and it was as good as the first visit! It’s an extremely well designed Pod in a terrific location close to all amenities and yet the surrounding area is quiet and very peaceful. 2 minutes from the East Sands beach and there is also a nice park right next door for walking our dog. Kirsten is an excellent host. Quick to respond and also quick to offer assistance if required. We just couldn’t be more impressed to be honest and fully intend returning again next year. Just love it!!

Quiet, bedroom/ensuite, living room
A great place to stay in St Andrews. Will be happy to return in the future. The place is as described, Ollie helpfully sent us additional photos to help find it (but it was easy). The place was very clean, lovely decorated. The bathroom facilities were top quality (incl very hot water). There is a breakfast corner with ample supplies of quality coffee, tea and cookies. Ollie kindly put a pint of fresh milk in the mini fridge to help with breakfast. The bedding is top quality (incl warm duvet). Good private parking area. Direct access to a lovely garden (with table and chairs for a coffee). Communication with Ollie was very friendly and effective.
