Privacy, Flexibility and a Shared Place to Call Home
Self-catering makes group stays easier by giving everyone space to follow their own routine while remaining under one roof. Prepare breakfast when it suits, share meals around a proper dining table or enjoy a relaxed evening without coordinating several hotel rooms. Multiple bedrooms and living areas provide privacy when guests need quiet time, while kitchens, gardens and lounges create natural places to come together. Laundry facilities, storage and private parking also make longer family holidays, golf trips and special occasions more practical.
Practical Advice for Choosing the Right Home
Choose Between Town And Countryside
Stay centrally when your group wants to walk to restaurants, shops, the university and the Old Course. Choose a countryside property for larger gardens, more parking and additional space around the house.
Check The Bedroom Layout
Look beyond the total guest capacity and check how the bedrooms can be prepared. Flexible king or twin beds are particularly useful for golf groups, families and friends sharing a property.
Count The Bathrooms
Several bathrooms can make a significant difference when a large group is getting ready at the same time. Check whether the property includes en-suites, shared bathrooms or convenient ground-floor facilities.
Plan Group Meals
Large dining tables and well-equipped kitchens make it easier to prepare meals and eat together. A supermarket delivery shortly after check-in can save several cars making the same journey.
Consider Shared Living Space
Groups will not always want to do the same thing, so separate lounges, snugs or games rooms can be valuable. They give guests different places to relax without anyone feeling crowded.
Organise Cars And Transfers
Check how many private or allocated parking spaces are provided before arrival. Groups staying centrally may need fewer cars, while countryside homes are often better suited to guests exploring Fife or travelling with golf equipment.
Make Use Of Outdoor Space
Private gardens, patios and outdoor dining areas give everyone more room during warmer stays. Selected dog-friendly properties also include enclosed gardens and useful space for outdoor clothing.
Book Larger Homes Early
Properties with several bedrooms, multiple bathrooms and central locations have fewer direct alternatives than smaller holiday lets. Booking once your main dates are agreed will give you a stronger choice of layouts, locations and group-friendly features.
How many guests can your large holiday homes accommodate?
Our larger homes include properties for eight, ten, 12 and 16 guests. Selected neighbouring properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 24 people. Availability and maximum occupancy depend on the individual property
Do you have holiday homes that sleep 12 or more?
Yes. The Holm and Easter Kincaple Farmhouse, both in the countryside just outside St Andrews, each sleep 16 guests, and House on the Burn in St Andrews sleeps 12. Easter Kincaple Farmhouse and its neighbouring Garden Cottage can also be booked together for groups of up to 24.
Can the bedrooms be arranged with single beds?
Selected properties offer flexible bedrooms that can be prepared as twins or super kings. This works well for golf groups, friends and extended families where permanent double beds would not suit everyone.
Tell our team how many single and double beds you need before booking so we can identify suitable homes
Are large holiday homes in St Andrews suitable for golf groups?
Yes. Selected properties offer twin bedroom configurations, several bathrooms, parking, laundry facilities and storage space for clubs and shoes.
You can choose a central home close to the Old Course or a property with private parking for rounds at courses across Fife.
Can we book two properties beside each other?
Yes. Selected homes can be combined with a neighbouring property. Options include accommodation for up to 12 close to the Old Course and a country pairing for up to 24 guests near St Andrews.
Are the properties suitable for family gatherings and graduation stays?
Yes. Large kitchens, full dining rooms, gardens and several living spaces make these homes well suited to family gatherings and graduation stays.
Central properties keep university buildings and town restaurants close, while country homes offer more parking and outdoor space.
Can we hold a party or event at the property?
Please do not assume that a large holiday home is a party house. Guest limits, noise rules and restrictions on parties or events apply, with some properties prohibiting them entirely.
Tell our team what you are planning before booking. Any gathering beyond the registered guests or normal use of the accommodation must be approved in advance.
Do the properties have parking?
Selected homes include private driveways, garage parking or space for several cars. Larger country properties can provide parking for four to six vehicles.
Central homes may have fewer private spaces, so speak to our team when several cars will be travelling
Are any large holiday homes dog friendly?
Yes. Selected large homes welcome dogs and may include private or fenced gardens. Dog allowances, charges and property rules vary, so confirm the number of dogs when booking.
What time is check-in and checkout?
Standard check-in is from 4pm and checkout is at 10am. Earlier check-in, late checkout and relaxed checkout until noon are available to add to selected bookings, subject to availability.
Can we add extras for a group stay?
Yes. Extras available across selected stays include family breakfast packs, luxury breakfast hampers, welcome packs, celebration packs, high chairs, cots, earlier check-in and later checkout. Availability varies by property and booking date.
