Perfect St. Andrews Location

First class experience for our entire family celebrating a graduation. We couldn't have asked for anything more. The flat was perfect and the outdoor patio was a special gathering spot. We were located a few minutes walk from everything in town as well as the special views overlooking the ocean as the sun set. Thank you for making this a memorable time for our family.

family get together

This house was perfect for us. We had a wedding in St Andrews and we all love the location. As each bedroom has its own bathroom, my elderly mother, my two sons and their wives, and me and my husband were able to enjoy each other in the large living/kitchen area and have our own privacy in our bedrooms. The house is located within walking distance of everything, so you can come and go without worry of a car. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay at Burness House again.

A true Gem

We loved staying at Abbostford! The house had more than enough room for our family of 5. It was beautifully decorated and very cozy. The location was fantastic and our boys loved being able to walk to golf every morning as well as restaurants and pubs in the afternoon/evening. Fiona and Lynne were easily reached and communicated very clearly when we had questions. We were particularly impressed with all the attention to details. There were fresh flowers in a few rooms as well as a welcome basket of food and even a partially stocked refrigerator with breakfast items! We plan on coming back to St Andrews and would definitely stay at this property again if it is available! Thank you Fiona and Lynne for such a memorable stay!

This place was terrific. We were four adult golfers. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom. The bedrooms were large in size, particularly for Europe. The kitchen and den/family room area were very comfortable for gathering together. Most notably, the house is situated in a lovely garden setting, well removed from the busy street, so it was extremely quiet. It was perfectly located, only two blocks from the 18th hole of the old course.
