About this property
A beautifully renovated historic townhouse the sleeps 10 guests in 6 bedrooms
Sleeps ten - A wonderful 4 storey historic townhouse in the heart of St Andrews which has been tastefully renovated and refurbished over recent months. The end result is a fabulous property full of original features and traditional details but fully equipped for modern living.
The house lies towards the eastern end of South Street close to the historic cathedral and surrounded by many properties still occupied by the University. At this point South Street is a wide tree-lined boulevard with generous pavements and an almost continental feel. All that the town centre has to offer by way of shops, bars and restaurants is only a few steps away but despite that the house is located in a more tranquil part of the town centre.
There is a generous living room and separate dining room on the first floor with both rooms overlooking South Street and also on this floor is the beautifully refitted kitchen. The rooms on the first floor make wonderful use of the original exposed stone walls.
On the second and third floors the sleeping accommodation is extremely flexible with 4 double bedrooms that can either be super king size or twin bedded and two further single bedrooms, one bedroom has an en-suite shower room and there are two further shower rooms.
On the ground floor there is a generous entrance hall with a golf club storage area and through the utility area there is access to an outside courtyard area with seating.
This is a very special house for your special trip to St Andrews.

The location is perfect and this is the best place we've stayed in St Andrews. The townhouse is in excellent condition and it was a perfect, warm welcoming home to celebrate Thanksgiving dinner with our university student daughter and her friends. We loved it so much that we immediately booked it for next year.
Great house for eight golfers from the US and tremendous value for money. The living and kitchen areas were excellent for our gatherings. Only criticism is the beds were really narrow for grown men and some of the windows were tricky to open - just with it being an older building.
The house could not have worked out better for us- the location is great and the rooms are all very comfortable. It could be an issue for people who have trouble climbing stairs but that was not a problem for our family. We would definitely rent this place again.
Clean, spacious, great hosts, would book again in a heartbeat. We had a foursome of golfers, and then the girls with a little guy and the stay was perfect for our group. Having Sainsburys down Bakers lane and everything in walking distance made the stay most enjoyable. Thank you so much!
Had a fantastic few days using the house as a base for our golfing trip.
8 golfers with loads of room. House was beautiful, very warm. Every facility that we needed was there.
3 excellent bathrooms and the owner with an early check it which was fantastic
A 6-man golfing group from Australia enjoyed a 2 week stay. Individual bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms and expansive kitchen and lounge made for a great experience. Close to the centre of town and restaurants, not to mention the gelati shop!
The group would have liked to book for the same time next year, but it has already been taken!
Excellent townhouse, right in the centre of St Andrews, shops and restaurants within walking distance. The house was spacious and perfect for our family with 3 young children and 2 teenagers. Kitchen well equipped ( although the microwave needs fixing - the control knob is faulty). A lovely family long weekend away.

Outstanding Value!! Great Location with all the amenities :)
Wow & Wow!! The property is just as the pictures show. Very nice home design. The kitchen had everything we needed for the week. The LOCATION was perfect for St. Andrews and lots of shops, bars, and restaurants were within a short walk. The bathrooms were good and the only complaint was that shower water didn't drain well
There were 8 of us that stayed there for a golf trip in St Andrews and surrounding areas. Absolutely perfect location in St Andrews. Great communication with the host. Only minor complaint is that between 8 of us we couldn’t figure out the washer/dryer unit. Not sure if the dryer was broken but our clothes were soaked and we couldn’t get the dryer to dry them. There really need to be step by step instructions to tell people how to use it or if it’s broken it needs to be replaced. But overall we had a great time.
Wir hatten mit 8 Personen einen tollen Aufenthalt in St. Andrews. Die Unterkunft hatte eine super Lage und war sehr gut ausgestattet. Gerne jederzeit wieder!
Wonderful home right in the centre of St. Andrew's within walking distance of shops, restaurants and of most importantly all of the golf courses in town. Place is as good in person as it looks online. Great communication with rental owners. Highly recommend.
