Fabulous Stay!
The house was perfect for our family - and the location was great as our daughter lives at University Hall. The walk into town is a great way to get some exercise and we did it at least two to three times a day. We hosted some of our daughter's friends for American Thanksgiving at the house and it was a perfect venue. This was our second stay with Short Stay St Andrews and they have both been wonderful!
My friends and I stayed two nights while playing two of St. Andrew's courses. We had a car and made the venue a perfect spot for us and our game. Highly recommend!
The house was clean and well-appointed. While it was a bit farther from the university than we had anticipated, the 14 minute walk to the edge of town was pleasant and busy enough to make it feel safe at all hours of the day and night. Check-in was seamless, as was check-out. My only negative comment is that the bathroom on the main floor was not in good working order. It wasn't a major issue for us, but I do think we should have been told ahead of time. Otherwise, lovely stay.
