The Albany Hotel St Andrews

8/10 Good

"M"

No1. Apartments & Bedrooms St Andrews - St Mary’s

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect position right in town. Lots of space although the second bedroom is a little tight. We had to leave our suitcase out in the lounge area as it didn’t fit in the bedroom. Main bedroom a good size and both bathrooms were small but perfect and really clean. Everything else was great, lots of little extras like coffee pods, cleaning products etc."

Fairmont St Andrews

10/10 Excellent

"Our recent stay in the Executive Suite at Fairmont St Andrews was nothing short of perfection from start to finish. Exceptionally spacious, quiet, and thoughtfully designed. Having a dedicated lounge area made unwinding after a day out exploring an absolute pleasure If you are looking for world-class Scottish hospitality, spectacular coastal views, and total relaxation, this property delivers in every possible way. The estate itself is breath-taking. Walking along the coastal paths surrounding the two championship golf courses offered some of the best views in St Andrews."

Stravithie Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Do not hesitate, book it now. Fantastic place."

Park Mill Cottages | Mill Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Property was very pleasantly maintained. Location was quiet and quaint. Easily accessible from the towns Centre and outlying villages. Highly recommend for a relaxing stay."

Park Mill Cottages | The Granary

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely LOVED this cottage, it truly was like a scene from a Jane Austin book. My teenaged daughter couldn’t stop raving about the setting. Plus there was a window seat so she could sit in the seat and read while she watched the rain. The only drawback is that we didn’t stay longer so that we could do more exploring in the woods and the town. It is about a mile and a half from the beach for the more adventurous. Beds were super comfortable. Kitchen is very well-appointed. There is a combo washer/dryer, but as with most of these types of machines, the dryer didn’t get things terribly dry, so I ended up hanging a lot of the wash after it had already been in the dryer for an hour or two, but the washing machine itself worked very well. The washer and the dryer does get very hot, and I never found a way to get actual cold tap water, so be careful with clothing that needs cold water. I will admit however that I have never really used these types of units before so it could have been user error. Anyway we will hopefully some day return and stay for longer."
