Long weekend

There were 7 of us staying for a long weekend. The property is just as described and walking distance to everything. Comfortable beds, powerful showers, and a fully fitted kitchen. There was also a lovely garden to sit in. Philippa, the host responded promptly to any queries, and we all had a lovely stay. Would highly recommend.

Location was paramount! Easy walking distance to restaurants, shopping and sights. My husband played golf at four courses, including St. Andrews Old Course. We had a rental car for those excursions; however he did walk back from Old Course to Dauphin Hill in approx 15 mins carrying clubs. The primary bedroom with ensuite and two secondary bedrooms with hall bath were on 2nd floor. The third floor attic bedroom with ensuite had an amazing soaking tub that my daughter really enjoyed. Our party was 3 guests in our 60's and one 27 year old. We did not have any problem negotiating the stairs but may be a consideration for others.The house is nicely appointed and spacious enough for everyone to have their own space. One dedicated parking spot was key. We would recommend based on location alone and would definitely rebook if vacationing in St. Andrews again.

Quaint and convenient

As described, close, and provides all necessities of your stay in St.Andrews. Of note, lower ceilings for anyone above 6’. Pay close to attention to directions, even local drivers had difficult time locating it. Bring all toiletries, none were provided as stated. Stellar communication throughout.

About the host

Why they chose this property

Dauphinhill has been our family home for 30 years and we spent many special holidays there getting to know the town and the beautiful East Neuk coast. Having recently refurbished the house we now hope that other families can also enjoy using it as a base from which to explore all the delights that St Andrews has to offer. We love the fact that it's so close to the action but is still such a relaxing space to come back to at the end of a busy day. Minutes from the beach and minutes from the town centre...what's not to love!

What makes this property unique

“A hop, skip and a jump” from the best ice cream in St Andrews ...Jeanetta’s Gelateria

“Surprisingly lovely garden for the centre of town”

" The garden is a hidden gem and totally unexpected"
