The St Andrews area

St Andrews
In spite of its small size, the picturesque royal burgh of St Andrews is famed far beyond the borders of Scotland. The seat of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, the game's foremost authority, St Andrews is the spiritual home to golfers everywhere and over the years the famed Old Course has played host to the world's best players at many different championships. The town boasts eleven fine courses. With a course to suit every ability, regardless of experience golfers can savour the unique atmosphere of playing at the Home of Golf.

St Andrews is renowned for more than the game it gave to the world and evidence of its long and at times turbulent history can be seen everywhere. It is an ancient seat of learning, being home to Scotland's first university. Founded in 1412, the elegant, ivy-clad buildings and delightful quadrangles and gardens have seen a procession of famous graduates.

For centuries St Andrews was also at the centre of the religious life of the nation and its now ruined cathedral was once the largest in the country. At the adjacent church of St Regulus, you can climb the spiral staircase to the top of a 108-foot tower for magnificent views of the town and its surroundings. St Andrews Castle, perched on its promontory overlooking the sea, was the dramatic stage for several of the most notorious episodes of the Reformation.

“Home from Home Accomodation; just perfect!” Great location being so close to the local amenities and the golf courses. The property was spotlessly clean, superbly equipped with everything anyone could need for a comfortable, relaxing stay. We even managed to enjoy a glass of wine on the decking in lovely, warm sunshine. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this property to friends and family. The owners seem to have thought of everything, making this a fabulous place to stay.

“Fantastic place” The location of the house is ideal as everything within the town is within walking distance, as is the beach and the old & new golf courses. The house itself is 1st class in its layout, fixtures & fittings. It has everything that you could want. the adjoining properrties are very quite. The only down side is that there is no parking associated with the house, but there is limited free parking spaces a couple of minutes walk from the house.
