Fantastic stay, always brilliant everytime we stay. Would 100% recommend and will definitely stay again
Our family stayed at Greyfriars Bothy while visiting the university for our daughter. The location was perfect for us with everything within a short walking distance. We will definitely choose this for our next visit.

The perfect St Andrews getaway! Will be back.
Everything. The ease of booking, the links to pre arrival info, the ease of check in and check out. The property was fantastic, spotlessly clean, courtyard garden fully enclosed for our dogs and a little suntrap too. The rooms were huge, the kitchen diner layout was ideal. Location couldn't be better - 1 minute to hussle of market street and a 5 min walk to the beach and Old Course.
Nothing. We will rebook.
