A FLEXIBLE WAY TO STAY IN ST ANDREWS

More Space, Privacy and Freedom to Enjoy the Town Your Way

Self-catering apartments give you more freedom than a traditional hotel stay while keeping everything you need close at hand. Prepare breakfast before an early tee time, return for lunch between university events or enjoy an evening together in your own living and dining space. Separate bedrooms give families and groups more privacy, while a full kitchen makes longer stays and relaxed nights in much easier. With many apartments located within walking distance of the centre, you can enjoy the convenience of St Andrews without giving up the comfort of having your own place to return to.

Practical Advice for Choosing the Right Location and Property

CHOOSE YOUR LOCATION AROUND YOUR STAY

Look towards The Scores, Golf Place and western St Andrews for the Old Course and West Sands. North Street, Market Street and South Street work well for university visits, while the eastern side of town provides easier access to East Sands, the harbour, cathedral and castle.

CHECK THE BEDROOM LAYOUT

Guest capacity only tells part of the story. Flexible king or twin beds, several bedrooms and multiple bathrooms can make apartments much more comfortable for families, friends and golf groups sharing.

CONSIDER PARKING BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

Selected apartments include private, allocated or secure parking, while others are close to public car parks. Check the individual listing before booking if bringing a car is an important part of your stay.

ARRIVE EASILY WITHOUT A CAR

Leuchars is the nearest railway station, with regular bus and taxi connections into St Andrews. Once you arrive, many central apartments put restaurants, university buildings, shops and attractions within walking distance.

PLAN YOUR FIRST FOOD SHOP

A self-catering apartment makes it easy to stock up for breakfasts, lunches and relaxed evenings in. Larger supermarkets sit around Largo Road and the eastern side of town, while the centre has bakeries, cafés and independent food shops for smaller essentials.

THINK ABOUT OUTDOOR SPACE

Balconies, private gardens and outdoor seating are available at selected apartments and can add another dimension to your stay. Check each listing carefully if having somewhere outside is a priority.
