Wonderful experience

Our family stayed at Greyfriars Bothy while visiting the university for our daughter. The location was perfect for us with everything within a short walking distance. We will definitely choose this for our next visit.

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay with us. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the great location, fully equipped kitchen, and spacious bedrooms. We also appreciate you bringing the shower and window issues to our attention. We're sorry to hear about the limitations with hot water and the bedroom window not opening, and we are currently reviewing these matters to make the necessary improvements. We value your comments and hope to welcome you back again for an even better stay. Kind regards, Short Stay St Andrews

The perfect St Andrews getaway! Will be back.

Everything. The ease of booking, the links to pre arrival info, the ease of check in and check out. The property was fantastic, spotlessly clean, courtyard garden fully enclosed for our dogs and a little suntrap too. The rooms were huge, the kitchen diner layout was ideal. Location couldn't be better - 1 minute to hussle of market street and a 5 min walk to the beach and Old Course. Nothing. We will rebook.

Hi Cheryl, We're so pleased to hear that everything, from the booking process and pre-arrival info to check-in and check-out was smooth and easy for you. It’s wonderful to know you found the property spotlessly clean and that the courtyard garden was a perfect, secure spot for your dogs. We hope to welcome you back soon. Best wishes, Short Stay St Andrews

All very good. Very comfortable, tasteful and excellently located. We could not get any hot water in the shower in the main bathroom and there seems to be a small leak in the radiator/towel rail but we managed. I was quite confused by the communications received on Vbro App and from short stay (?). Had paid for late check out but it did not appear on booking details. Are there 2 comms routes? Anyway in the event it wasn't a problem. We would stay again.
