    We loved how warm and cosy the cottage was, which made it very welcoming. The cottage was well furnished and clearly being regularly maintained.

    I would have rated it excellent except for a few minor things. Shower makes an incredible noise when in use, possible air lock? The silicone around the tray showing mould and tiles missing grout at fireplace.

    Location, 5 min walk to centre. Basic facilities but everything functional. Good value for money and pet friendly, we had 2 dogs with us. Mix up with the key box code but fixed quickly with a phone call.

    A slight issue was the hot water in the bath although we managed in the end - it took a while to run - both my husband and I hate showers! The bedrooms were a little dark for putting on make up and no dressing table, the cottage is probably used more by golfers and this wouldn't really be a problem!!

    Location superb. Very well equipped kitchen. Very warm

    Parties going on around due to prominent student area. But bearable. Extra cost for small dog not overly clear and felt unnecessary. £20 - dog friendly usually just means that. I only noticed this charge on check in.

    Fantastic location.walking distance. Very comfortable and clean. Great shower.

    Clean, spacious, and well equipped cottage. Everything we required was available. Location was excellent...5 minute walk to town and 10 minutes to the beach.

    Actually the key box wasnt working so we had to have someone help us access it but they were very helpful. Main problem was the fact its in a student area and we were kept awake till 1am on the first night with a party in the street across the road which was a real pain.

    Location was great for walking to the beach as parking is a nightmare at east sands. Even my 6 and 8 year olds didn't complain. Really close to the centre and could walk to get ice cream in the evening. House was lovely and beds very comfy.

    The bath plug doesn’t work, so the bath couldn’t be used.

    Close to the heart of town. Cosy and comfortable with adequate facilities.

    was a cozy space that met all our needs.

    Window in downstairs bathroom didn't close and it was pretty chilly when we were there-so no shower for me. Bath tub upstairs was nice. Closet door in double bed room-the doors didn't slide-had jumped off rails. It would be very nice if a mirror was hung outside the upstairs bathroom for drying hair. Very close to plug there.

    Location was great-had to park on the street but it was a wider area than a normal street in St. Andrews. Very comfortable sitting room. Washer with dryer was available. Bedrooms a little small but bed was comfy.

    If we had been on a longer holiday I would have preferred a larger TV especially if I was a golfer and wanted to watch competitions from the cottage.

    Location was perfect. Cottage clean and comfortable.

    If I was to be in any way negative I suppose the only shower being downstairs was nit ideal and the shower itself was a little temperamental.

    Great location near the centre of St Andrews. All the facilities you need for a stay in St Andrews. Great alternative to staying in the pricy hotels in the area.
