  • One of my favourite places in the world, the Royal and Ancient Course at St Andrews, Scotland.

How brilliant is this course...incredible.  And if you don't like golf, fine, St Andrews is a cool little town.  I'd also recommend the Anstruther Fish Bar just down the coast a wee bit...and I don't really like fish and chips heaps, but delicious all the same.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The location is incredible! Just a short walk to everything in St. Andrews. Only a few issues - one is there was a strong smell in the apartment, like someone had cooked a meal and didn't properly ventilate. We were able to open the windows and it definitely helped. The other, on our last day, there was a homeless person asleep in the common lobby. I think if the front door is kept locked this wouldn't be an issue. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and would book again!
