“A bit old fashioned but met all our needs”

Reviewed 13 Sep 2016

We travelled as a family of 6 for golf weekend. The cottage is very old fashioned but once the coal fire is lit, the heating is on with a few candles we felt comfortable. Perfect location for golf as its right opposite Fairmont Hotel. The beds were clean and comfortable. Wifi was great. This would be perfect for families with young children as the rear garden is safe and secure. Morrisons, marks and spencer food hall only 5 mins away in car. Our taxi to St. Andrews was £7. Not sure if we would stay in winter as its single glazed.
