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.

Golfing Break in St Andrews

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!
