It was nice overall . Quality of bedding could be a bit nicer. Rooms are small. Location is very good. Decor is basic. I would expect the price to be lower for what you get.

Castle Loft brought cozy vibes to our very special family reunion. The location was perfect. A sweet wander to the cafe & pub world, as well as on campus activities. Also a tiny amble down to the ocean where we cold plunged vigorously. The loft had everything we needed. I will never forget our sweet time spent there. THANK YOU for providing this perfect home away from home.

Fantastic Property!

My husband and I and our two large sons (ages 16 and 18) stayed for 4 nights. Perfect location for playing St Andrews Links and very close to restaurants, pubs and Sainsbury’s. Small, but no need for more space and amenities because it’s all there! Rustic and just an all around great experience! Definitely recommend!

We will be back

This is such a lovely flat. Very clean and modern. Every creature's comfort was there - very thoughtful amenities. Very well located - we could walk everywhere. Our son goes to college at St. Andrews so we will be booking again when we visit next. Thanks.

All about the location

Staying on North Castle Street - great location. Lots of information provided via email. Good response to queries. The decor and quality of furnishings - rather basic and dated. No dishwasher, but dishwasher tablets provided. Mattress on double bed not great. This could be a lovely flat, but it feels a bit unloved and in need of a refresh.
Response from VrboOwner on 7 Aug 2025
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay on North Castle Street and found the location ideal. It’s great to hear our communication and information were helpful, and that your queries were answered promptly. We hope to welcome you back to Short Stay St Andrews soon! With best regards, The Short Stay St Andrews Team

Good area but loud

Close to castle, Cathedral, and restaurants. But even closer to the university. Very loud, University neighbors. Parties all night. Very thin walls, so no noise reduction. Small but clean. Rental managers responsive, but unable to deal with the problems in a timely fashion. We left a day early after no sleep.
