About this property

LUXURY IN THE MOST CONVENIENT LOCATION IN ST ANDREWS

Our picturesque holiday home is located in a quaint pedestrianised cobbled street in the very heart of historic St Andrews. It is within a few steps of the University, Cathedral, coast and a nearby array of restaurants, cafes, shops and bars - not to mention a Sainsbury’s grocery store. The famous Old Course is also within a convenient 5 minute stroll.

The property itself dates back to the 1800’s but has been completely refurbished and moderised to a high standard and has an exquisite BBQ/outdoor dining area in its own private secluded courtyard.

The property is equipped to the highest standard with high-speed fibre broadband, international satellite 4HD entertainment and Sonos sound system. Within the compact kitchen there are all the usual requirements including dishwasher, microwave, Dulce Gusto coffee machine, washer/dryer etc.

The master bedroom has a kingsize bed, ensuite bathroom and patio doors onto the private patio. The second bedroom adjoins a bath/shower room and can be configured as twin beds or a kingsize double - just advise on booking. The beds are all prepared with fine Egyptian cotton bedding. A fifth member of the party can be accommodated in the sofabed in the livingroom again with double patio doors leading out to the courtyard with dining facilities.

An ideal modern contemporary venue for any visit to the beautiful town of St Andrews.

We have another wonderful central home in St Andrews for up to 5 guests - please view at standrewsparkview.com

Our stay could not have been better. The flat is homey, decorated nicely, furnished well and within walking distance to St Andrews Golf Club, pubs, restaurants and shops. If we make it back to St Andrews we’ll definitely book again! 5 star experience.

Lovely stay, in a perfect location

We visited for a birthday celebration as well as playing golf at St Andrews and we was not disappointed. The accommodation was everything you could possibly want, clean and very well presented. Unfortunately we didn’t get the weather to enjoy the courtyard but the rooms was spacious and was a comfortable stay. We will be back!!

Cozy and luxurious in a perfect location

The house was perfect for two friends in town to visit my daughter at University. Beds were luxurious, furnishings comfortable and extremely well thought-out, and outdoor space was lovely. Centrally located but not noisy. The host was communicative and helpful. We could not have asked for a better stay.

Lovely Apartment in Great Location

We stayed for 4 days at this amazing property in St. Andrews at the end of a multi week Scottish adventure. It was exactly what we needed to unwind from a busy couple of weeks. The property is well maintained and includes everything you could need, was super comfortable, and put us in the heart of St Andrews where we could walk easily to everything we wanted to do. The host was wonderful to work with and instructions and access were clear and easy. We are already planning our return visit! Highly recommended!

At Andrews

The place, location and accommodations were great. We enjoyed the home and would return to this property again. The only negative would be that it was possible to lock someone inside the property with the current locking mechanism for front door. Not sure why this can happen but it occurred during our stay. Other than that we had a great time. Thanks for having us. Regards

Wonderful property, Perfect location!

The Bolthole is the perfect place to stay in St Andrews. Located right in the heart of town meant I didn’t need a car or cabs to get around. The place is immaculate and comes equipped with everything you need and more. Little touches like fresh milk, tea, coffee, biscuits, even a ‘wee dram’ although I’m more of a gin girl so didn’t partake, made my stay perfect! The outside space is beautiful and ideal for coffee on a sunny morning. Communications with the owner and accessing the property were easy and hassle free! I was even able to check in early after a long flight from the States. Circumstances mean I’m in St Andrews 2-3 times a year. The Bolthole will be my first choice from now on in. Thank you Graham for a great stay!!

About the host

Hosted by Graham Forbes

We try to offer maximum flexibility with arrival/departure - a small key store is located outside allowing access to the keys at your convenience.

The house is first and foremost a holiday home for our family who live in the city of Aberdeen and it is furnished and equipped accordingly to a very high standard.

All going smoothly, everything in the property should be self explanatory or contained in the information booklet. However should there be any queries or problems we can be contacted 24 hrs a day and there is a lady in St Andrews available on call to sort out any problems requiring immediate assistance.

Why they chose this property

Our family and guests enjoy the property because of its historic and quaint location in the heart of the historic town with all amenities nearby (local Sainsbury grocery store within 30 yds!) yet the property benefits from being modern and luxurious.

What makes this property unique

The property has all the latest technology - high speed fibre broadband, 4G HDR Ultra satellite TV with over 200 channels, Sonos sound system and fully equipped kitchen. But the real special feature of the property is the unique secluded patio area with BBQ and latest bio-fuel outdoor fireplace where many a late night drink can be enjoyed!
