When you book accommodation with Short Stay St Andrews, you’re choosing more than just a place to stay. You’re choosing local hosts who live here, know the area inside out, and care about making your trip memorable.
We’ve welcomed over 1,000 guests to our properties, from first-time visitors to regulars who return year after year. Our team personally inspects and manages every home, so you can expect high standards of cleanliness, comfort, and amenities.
If something matters to you, whether it’s proximity to the Old Course, secure golf club storage, or a pet-friendly garden, we’ll help you find your perfect stay.
We’re not a call centre or a faceless agency. If you have a question, you’ll speak directly to someone who knows the town, the properties, and what makes a great holiday here. That’s why so many of our bookings come from personal recommendations and repeat guests.
Whether you’re here for golf, coastal walks, or the simple pleasure of a St Andrews sunset, we’ll help you feel right at home from the moment you arrive.
Choosing where to stay in St Andrews often comes down to the experience you want from your trip. While hotels and Airbnb each have their place, many of our guests prefer the flexibility and comfort of self-catering accommodation.
Self-catering holiday lets give you more space, privacy, and freedom than a hotel room. You can cook your own meals, enjoy separate living and sleeping areas, and relax without the fixed schedules of hotel dining.
For families, groups, and golfers travelling with equipment, having a full home makes life easier. It’s also often better value when you consider the cost per person.
Hotels can work well for short stays, solo travellers, or those who want daily cleaning and on-site dining. But in St Andrews, these often come at a higher price and with less space to unwind.
Airbnb offers variety, but standards and service can vary widely. With Short Stay St Andrews, every property is inspected and professionally managed by our local team, with hotel quality linen in every property.
You know exactly what to expect before you arrive, and there’s always someone nearby to help if needed.
Whether you want a quiet coastal cottage, a central apartment, or a large home for a golf trip, our self-catering options offer comfort, convenience, and the reassurance of booking with trusted local hosts.
For golfers, St Andrews is more than just another destination, it’s a bucket-list experience. From the Old Course to Kingsbarns and the Castle Course, you’ll find some of the world’s best golf within a few minutes’ drive.
Many of our St Andrews holiday homes are chosen with golfers in mind. We offer properties within walking distance of the Old Course, as well as peaceful countryside stays just a short drive from multiple courses.
Several homes have secure storage for clubs, early check-in options, and spacious living areas for post-round relaxation.
If you’re planning a group trip, our larger houses can host four-ball teams comfortably, with multiple bathrooms, generous dining spaces, and parking for several vehicles.
For couples or solo golfers, we have stylish apartments close to the action, perfect for walking to morning tee times.
With the Open Championship returning in 2027, demand for quality accommodation will be at an all-time high.
Booking early ensures you’ll have the right property in the right location, without the stress of last-minute searching.
