Description from owner

Description

Sensationally located directly on the ocean front, with panoramic views of BOTH St Andrews Castle and the beach and ocean to the front, and the Cathedral at the back. Thebeachhouse is situated in the heart of the old town of St Andrews. A short 5-10 minute walk along the seafront to the golf links and the world famous Old Course.

From your bedroom windows view all three beaches, the golf courses, the Castle and the Cathedral....

ALL photographs here are taken ONLY FROM the property!

thebeachhouse is a newly redeveloped townhouse with stunning open-plan living room and kitchen/diner with elevated penthouse views over St Andrews bay.

The property has been completely redeveloped externally and internally, and we're sure you'll love our rooms tastefully designed to complement the stunning sea views. The open plan 'manhattan loft' is our feature area - a first floor lounge and kitchen/diner which gives you elevated views from the Cathedral at the rear to the beaches and Castle out front.

We have three bedrooms (one double and two twins) which will sleep up to six people, three bath/shower rooms, and in addition a garden room/snug (with a sofa bed). Our maximum occupancy is six people.

Please note, as our townhouse has an open plan middle floor, it is not possible to put stair-gates on for very young children.

Luxury Sanctuary Spa shower gel and body lotions provided, along with towels and bed linen.

From your doorstep walk around the many restaurants, cafes and bars of the bustling medieval Scottish coastal town of St Andrews. Visit the many attractions of the town, including golf courses, cycle tracks, beaches, leisure centre, parks, botanical gardens, theatre, and museums. Not to mention the distilleries and brewery!

Getting around

You can pretty much walk everywhere. Or park in lane behind house, and you can drive to golf courses in Fife, outside St Andrews. Dundee is around 20 mins drive by car, and Edinburgh around 1 hour 20 mins.

Interaction with guest

Fraser and Ann are always available to answer any questions you may have. We are a family from Scotland, and we feel we have created a lovely and amazing holiday home, so good that we really enjoy sharing it with others who like visiting St Andrews by the sea We completely redesigned the property, with an open plan first floor offering elevated views over the ocean. It has an urban feel to the feature space, our 'Manhattan loft' - very contemporary and a great place to spend special time socialising with your family and friends. We don't do twee, so we like to think the rest of the house is seaside waterfront styling but with class!! It's uniqueness really mainly evolves around the direct views over the Castle, Cathedral and beaches.

“Amazing views and lovely house”

Reviewed 19 Aug 2021

These are surely some of the best views in St Andrews from both front and back of the house. The house is clean, well equipped and stylish and very comfortable. It is only a short walk to the shops, restaurants and town centre (5-10mins if that) so the location is excellent. East sands is closest but West sands are only 10-15mins walk along the seafront. Open plan nature of the first floor sitting and kitchen area is great. St Andrews is a great location and there is more to it than just the golf!

Response from the owner Thanks for your review Kate, we're glad that you had a great time at thebeachhouse, and that our location worked for walking to all the great things there are in the town. The garden room (which the system describes as the fourth bedroom) is a second public room, containing the sofa bed. We only advertise the house for six people, so this bed is really just a bit of an overflow option if our guests want to spread out a bit!
