Central, Stylish 1BR with Private Garden
Four night stay at Gary’s. Great location meant the entire town was walkable. The unit is well equipped with everything needed for a short or long stay. Spotlessly clean. Gary was brilliant with communication before and during the stay. Ample free parking outside the unit. No hesitation in booking again.

Stunning 1 Bedroom home in Elie
Outstanding, idyllic getaway. A perfect Airbnb, with the surprising bonus of Willie the Kune Kune pig to greet me on arrival! Accommodation exactly as described, blissfully peaceful, amazing views and fantastic support from Fiona & Rich. I’ll be back.

Gillespie Apartments | Spectacular Penthouse
Fantastic, comfortable apartment with the best location and view in town.

Weaver’s Cottage beach getaway
Caron has created the perfect intimate, seaside hideaway that was such a dream to finish our trip to Scotland with. One of the top Airbnbs we have ever stayed in! Such peaceful and cozy vibes with a quaint fire and beach access. Caron was also wonderful with offering an earlier check in and giving local recommendations. Would highly recommend and hope my husband and I can stay here again in the future!

Little Gladsmuir one bedroom cottage in St Andrews
I really enjoyed my stay at Little Gladsmuir. I was staying there while doing some work experience in gardens around St Andrews, after a long day working it was great to have somewhere cosy to come back to. The lovely garden and location made it really relaxing. The bed was comfortable and all the facilities were as described. The cooker and washer-dryer was especially useful for a longer stay. The location was convenient for getting into St Andrews and the local beaches. The bus station was only a short walk for getting further afield. I really recommend visiting the fishing villages like Pittenweem and St Monans and walking along the Fife Coastal Path. Jenny was really helpful and responded to any queries quickly. She made my stay in St Andrews a really nice, memorable one and I hope to visit again soon!

Outstanding Central Location Balcony Apartment
Great place for 5 days of golfing at St Andrews clean and bright and the location is smack bang in the middle of south street just minutes to the criterion for an evening beer and a “cri-pie” communications perfect pleat of clear instructions and some Tassimo coffee pods provided, Bathrooms clean and tidy and water hot and plentiful My only recommendations are hooks in the bathroom for towel or clothes and some sort of shelf to put soap or shower gel But perfect for our needs -

Nan’s House cosy 2 bed bungalow St Andrews
Me and a friend stayed at the Bungalow for 5 days as we we were playing golf in and around the town. Nan's place was 10-15min from the town centre and a quick drive to all the courses in St Andrews. The place itself was clean, warm and had all amenities anyone would really need. The beds were very comfy and shower always had hot water. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a Airbnb in St Andrews.

Large Victorian apartment: central, quiet
2 Queens Terrace was a perfect apartment for our party of 8. The accommodations were very comfortable, and the location couldn't be beat as we could easily walk to a variety of restaurants or other popular St. Andrews sites. Mark and Jill were wonderful hosts. They've thought of many extra amenities by providing a few essentials in the fridge, some snacks & drinks, and things like charging cords and fans in each bedroom. We highly recommend this apartment for anyone visiting St. Andrews.
