About the host

Hosted by Siggy and Hilary Mensah

Host profile image
We bought 3C Gillespie Terrace back in the 1990s and have spent many happy times here as well as renting it out for holiday lets.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to St Andrews over many years since the 1990s and absolutely love it here. It's become our relaxing retreat. We can park the car free on the road, forget it, and stroll into the town centre, a couple of streets away, or walk for miles along the West Sands - can't beat it!

What makes this property unique

Fantastic location with everything on the doorstep. The R&A and Old Course are at the end of the road, the West Sands just beyond, the Aquarium & Rock pools just opposite.
Quiet, comfortable & bright apartment.
