“Fantastic!”

Reviewed 1 Nov 2020

The Yards is an ideal home away from home. It's lovely and spacious and has everything you need. We've visited twice now with 2 young children. It's a short walk to the beautiful beach and from there you can walk to Cambo Estate. St Andrews is a short drive away. There is a parking space not far from the door and there's also an enclosed garden which is lovely to sit out in and the kids enjoyed playing in. Angela, the owner, was very quick to respond to emails and had great recommendations for things to do. We were never bored, even with the restrictions in place. We are hoping to go back next year.

“Comfortable house in great location”

Reviewed 1 Nov 2020

We really enjoyed our stay in this cosy comfortable house which caters to all of your needs. The host was lovely too. It’s close by to one of the prettiest beaches and a 10min drive to the beautiful St Andrews, where my children loved the aquarium on a rainy day. The only 1 tiny criticism I would have is that the property doesn’t have a bath which made the bedtime routine with my kids a bit harder. Would definitely recommend though.
