Perfect flat on St Andrews doorstep
I loved my stay at this flat! Beautiful location overlooking the North Sea, the flat was very well stocked, immaculately clean, quiet and cozy. I was able to walk everywhere in town and to golf without needing a car, and my morning walks along the West Sands will be memories I cherish for years to come. Hilary was a fantastic host - very easy to reach, ad quick to reply. I highly recommend staying here on you next trip to St Andrews!

Bucket list item with best golf friend
My best golf friend and I met 30 years ago this year, when he moved from Boston to Cincinnati. We’ve been playing golf together ever since, and thought St Andrews was a fitting destination to celebrate our “30th anniversary”. This property was perfect for us, as the layout of the apartment is great, and you can’t beat the location. Old Course right down the road and everything else (pubs, restaurants, shopping) is a two minute walk. The hosts were fantastic. Could not have been better. Cheers! Keith & John

Believe the reviews
The reviews are spot on! This is a lovely apartment in an excellent location. If it had a sea view, it would command double the price. Loved having room to spread out (there were two of us) and was so happy to have a washer/dryer before continuing on our month-long trip. No negatives. Hope to return!

About the host

Hosted by Siggy and Hilary Mensah

Host profile image
We bought 3C Gillespie Terrace back in the 1990s and have spent many happy times here as well as renting it out for holiday lets.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to St Andrews over many years since the 1990s and absolutely love it here. It's become our relaxing retreat. We can park the car free on the road, forget it, and stroll into the town centre, a couple of streets away, or walk for miles along the West Sands - can't beat it!

What makes this property unique

Fantastic location with everything on the doorstep. The R&A and Old Course are at the end of the road, the West Sands just beyond, the Aquarium & Rock pools just opposite.
Quiet, comfortable & bright apartment.
