A MORE RELAXED WAY TO CELEBRATE TOGETHER

Privacy, Flexibility and Space Beyond the Wedding Day

Self-catering accommodation gives your group a shared place to relax before and after the celebration. Gather for dinner the night before, enjoy breakfast together on the wedding morning or return to the house for a quiet drink after the event. Your own kitchen and living space also allow different guests to follow their own routines without coordinating several hotel rooms. Gardens, patios and separate seating areas provide extra space for children, visiting relatives or anyone looking for a quieter moment during a busy weekend.

Practical Advice for Accommodation, Transport and Preparations

CHOOSE A HOME FOR YOUR GROUP SIZE

Look beyond the total number of guests and consider how the bedrooms and bathrooms are arranged. A house with several bathrooms, flexible sleeping options and enough seating can make preparations far more comfortable.

ORGANISE VENUE TRANSPORT EARLY

Avoid filling every day with tightly timed rounds. Leaving one or two spaces gives your group flexibility for changing weather, additional tee times or another round at a favourite course.

ALLOW ENOUGH TIME BEFORE CHECK-IN

Standard check-in begins at 4pm, which may be too late for guests preparing for an early ceremony. Where available, add an earlier check-in or reserve the accommodation from the previous evening so everyone can unpack, prepare outfits and settle in without rushing.

PLAN FOR OUTFITS AND LUGGAGE

Wedding stays often involve garment bags, gifts, flowers, children’s equipment and several days of luggage. Selected homes offer larger bedrooms, entrance halls, utility spaces and off-street parking to help keep everything organised.

ADD EXTRAS TO YOUR BOOKING

Selected bookings can include breakfast packs, luxury hampers, welcome packs and celebration drinks such as Champagne, Crémant or gin. Cots, high chairs and relaxed checkout options may also be available, subject to the individual property and stay dates.

ARRANGE HAIR AND BEAUTY APPOINTMENTS

St Andrews has several established hair and beauty providers, including Sophie Butler Hairdressing, Spoiled Hairdressing, Chris Marks Hairdressing and Klaudii Beauty. Arrange appointments well ahead of the wedding and confirm whether the team will visit the accommodation or require travel to the salon.

ORDER WEDDING FLOWERS IN ADVANCE

Local florists such as Bonnie Bunches and Victoria Bloom St Andrews offer wedding flowers and bespoke arrangements. Confirm delivery times, access instructions and where bouquets or buttonholes can be stored safely at the property.

PLAN KILT HIRE EARLY

Kirk Wynd Highland House and Mackintosh’s provide kilt hire and Highland wear in St Andrews. Arrange fittings and collections early, particularly when several members of the wedding party require matching outfits or specific tartans.

BOOK GROUP ACCOMMODATION EARLY

Larger houses with several bedrooms, multiple bathrooms and private parking have fewer direct alternatives than smaller properties. Booking once the wedding date and venue are confirmed gives your group a stronger choice of layouts, locations and stay options.

Kingsbarns is the most convenient base. Our properties there include cottages and houses for four to six guests, with Smiddy Burn Cottage within walking distance of Cambo House.

Look at properties on the eastern side of St Andrews and in the nearby countryside. Kinkell Byre is two miles outside town between the Castle Course and Fairmont St Andrews.
