Accommodation
Description
Experience top-quality accommodation nestled within a private and secluded walled garden in the heart of historic St Andrews. This prime location offers an ideal retreat for both golfers and visitors, with unbeatable proximity to the world-renowned Old Course—just a 60-second stroll of a little over 100 meters to the 1st tee. Everything you need, from the beach to the town's charming restaurants and cafes, is within easy walking distance.
Perfect for all seasons, this property comfortably sleeps four guests in two en-suite bedrooms. The main lounge boasts a breathtaking full-height glass wall that opens onto a private decking area and garden, creating a tranquil space to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
The Space: Whether you're on a golfing holiday or a leisurely getaway, this modern property offers the best of both worlds: contemporary comfort in a historic setting. Tucked away within a century-old walled garden, this 'secret' garden sanctuary has no adjoining properties, making it perfect for golfers, families, or groups of friends seeking privacy.
The lounge's striking glass wall provides an uninterrupted view of the garden, leading out to a decking area furnished with a table and chairs—ideal for soaking up the summer sun with a glass of wine or a soft drink. The two well-appointed bedrooms each feature their own en-suite shower rooms, with one offering a king-size bed and the other a double bed. The bright, modern kitchen and dining area come fully equipped with everything you need for a self-catering stay.
Just under 100 meters from the property, you'll find yourself gazing out at the stunning West Sands Beach, the Royal & Ancient Golf Club, and the iconic Old Course 1st tee.
Guest Access: Guests have exclusive use of the entire property. From this prime location, you can easily explore everything St Andrews has to offer—whether it's the University, Cathedral, Castle, tennis courts, Byre Theatre, or the bus station. Ample free parking is available nearby.
Other Things to Note: The bus station is just a 2-minute walk away, providing convenient access to local towns and picturesque fishing villages. The train station is a short 15-minute bus ride, and Edinburgh is about an hour away by train or car. Explore nearby gems like the fishing villages of Crail and Pittenweem, just a 30-minute drive or a short bus journey away.
