We loved Swilken View! The overall layout was perfect for our golfing group! The view watching golfers on the Old Course 18, 17 and 1 was spectacular. Kerr was very responsive and we hope to return.
Hosts were communicative and friendly. House was absolutely gorgeous with views to die for. Everything we needed was there. Comfortable, warm and great location. We loved it.
Stunning views of the Old Course! We loved everything about this home. It was even better than advertised. It will be very hard for us to stay anywhere else in St Andrews. Thanks Kerr and Suzanne!

Everything about the place was top notch. It fit our 8 guy golf trip perfectly. Location is spectacular if you enjoy views of the most famous course in the world from the comfort of your own place.
Kerr’s place was beautiful. In a great location with outstanding views and very comfortable. Will definitely stay there again!

Many thanks for your kind review, so glad you enjoyed your stay. We are indebted to our cleaning team who make every effort to have our property up to our five star standard.
This was my second stay at Swilken View, and it was every bit as good as the first. The location is unparalleled, the bedrooms comfortable, and the living spaces ample. Can't wait to come back!
Couldn’t have asked for a nicer place.
The location, the property, and dealing with the owner could not have been better. If you’re looking for a great place to stay for golf- this is it 👍

Delighted you enjoyed your break in St Andrews and appreciated the location it is certainly well situated for the restaurants etc
For the quality and location you will not find a better place than this property. Second time staying here was as good as the first! Everything was immaculate and everyone in our group thouroghly enjoyed it. Great location for golf and dining
A fabulous property to stay in overlooking the 17th green and the Swilkin Bridge of the Old Course. Accommodates 4 golfers with ease. Accommodation will easily accommodate 8 although all won't get to watch the tv at the same time (The Masters is on and as we are golfers we were glued!) Wants for absolutely nothing and wouldn't hesitate to book again!
Great location with amazing views, lovely apartment with everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Highly recommended. Would definitely return!

Delighted you appreciated the location and the accommodation. Many Thanks.
Spectacular location for a golf trip. We had 8 guys and had plenty of room with a terrific kitchen. You will never get tired of looking out the window to the 17th green of the Old Course and the Swilken Bridge.
Absolutely beautiful house, a stones throw away from Swilken Bridge. A very short walk to the centre of St.Andrews. Highly recommend.

Why they chose this property
St Andrews is a place that has always appealed to me and this property was bought originally by my grandfather and will hopefully be kept in my family as opportunities to purchase such a property in such a prime location are very rare indeed.
What makes this property unique
This property was bought because of its unique situation,there are only a few other properties in St Andrews with such a spectacular view. It is a spacious house and easily accommodates 8 people, with plenty of space for storing golf clubs etc.
It is within easy walking distance of St Andrews town centre, with its many excellent restaurants, theatre, cinema, golf courses, walks on the spectacular West Sands beach. It is a very relaxing and tranquil situation.
