After staying at Willow Cottage, I don’t think I would want to be anywhere else in St Andrews — the location was just perfect for us: steps away from a great coffee shop and a great bookstore, a few blocks from the grocery store, the shops, the bus station… and a door from the garden opens onto the passageway through the block of houses that leads to the aquarium and a view of the Sands! Everything was clean and fresh, the kitchen was well-equipped, and we loved passing the food out the window to eat breakfast at the little table outside :)

The Willow Cottage was the perfect home base for me as I moved my daughter into university. The cottage is bright, welcoming, modern, and very clean, and felt very private even though it is in the heart of the city. Two bedrooms upstairs allow for a quiet retreat from the main floor, and the washer/dryer option was a nice feature. I would happily stay here again!
Our stay at Willow Cottage was wonderful. The cottage was just lovely and the location was so convenient—right in the heart of St. Andrews. We could walk everywhere! The cottage was beautifully decorated and a great place to rest and relax after spending the day exploring St. Andrews. We wouldn’t hesitate to book it again when we travel to St. Andrews.
Outstanding nice and cosy cottage in walking distance to tee off at the old course
We really enjoyed our stay at this cosy cottage. Location ist just fantastic and the house is nice and cosy. We would definitely book again if we plan to come back to St. Andrews. Bedrooms are actually larger than the look on the pictures and kitchen is tiny but well equipped.
One thing to mention: Unfortunately, there were some constructions works ongoing during our stay in the garden next to us with the access through our property which was a little bit disturbing and the rental agency did not react to an email complaint about that. Would at least have appreciated an information beforehand…
Nevertheless, property definitely five starts for a golfing visit to St. Andrews. We walked out of the house and were within five minutes at the tee of the old course!

Good Morning Alexander,
Thank you ever so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review. Delighted to hear that you would return to Willow Cottage and highly rated the property. Completely agree that this property is ideally situated for a group of golfers due to the premium location with The Old Course being only a stones throw away.
I am however incredibly sorry to hear that you were disturbed by ongoing construction works, which we were unfortunately not aware of. Further to your review, I have checked all correspondence and sadly we did not receive your email. If we had, please be rest assured that you would have been contacted back and we would have rectified the issue on your behalf.
I will follow up with an email direct to yourself, as I am keen to personally discuss in more detail with yourself.
Delighted that despite the unforeseen construction noise, you had a fantastic stay with us. Many thanks again for your review, we look forward to your return!
Kind Regards,
Kingask St Andrews
