Charming Historic Home in the Heart of St Andrews

A wonderfully welcoming home in the heart of St Andrews. Our family loved staying at Cowper’s Close while exploring the town, enjoying a round of golf and touring the Highlands. There was plenty of room for our 7 adults to relax, particularly enjoying the conservatory. The beds were very comfortable and had been configured nicely for our couples. If you like traditional home style, books and cozy furnishings, this is a perfect place. As well, there are plenty of coffee shops and good restaurants close by, many providing good options for dietary needs. Our family felt very much at home staying here and would definitely book again.

St Andrews Wedding Lodgings

I rented this cottage for my daughter and niece, and their fiancees. This cottage was awesome. Large, comfortable, wonderful. The kitchen was plenty big. We had a family farewell dinner there on our last night. Between the patio, the yard, and the dinning room it was perfect. Highly recommend. The two bathrooms for 4 bedrooms was no issue at all.

Super convenient. We stayed here for a golf trip and found the property to be everything we needed; large enough to easily host more than just the 4 of us and a fantastic location. We didn't use the garage; on the odd occasion when we left the house after 9am we simply popped £1.10 into the meter outside the house via the Ringo app.
