3c Gillespie Terrace St Andrew's

The position of the flat is well situated. It was ideal for the 2 of us. I would be a bit sceptical about 4 people in the flat as there is only 1 bathroom but 2 showers. The bed in the main room is on the firm side but other than that it was ideal. It is well equipped if you choose to cook. The big plus was the quietness.

Absolutely amazing!

The location of the flat is incredible-great views of the old course and the sea from the front door! 2 mins walk to the start of the old course, 1 mins walk to hotel du vin which has a lovely bar and bistro. Market street and all its amenities 5 mins walk away. Flat itself has everything you need, we didn’t cook anything as we had so many busy plans but kitchen was well equipped. Loved it so much we want to book again for next year. Hilary has been a pleasure to deal with too. Anyone coming from the surrounding airports/train stations use Jim McDonald through Hilary-he was brilliant and much cheaper than the driver I booked from Edinburgh airport.

Great place for a golf trip

Walking out every morning and being able to see the ocean, R&A building and Old Course 1st tee box and 18th green was incredible. Great location and everything we needed.There were just 2 of us on this trip so more than enough space. If it were 2 couples, it might be a little tight but it was perfect for our needs.The owners clearly care and have everything in great condition and excellent communication.

Great stay, very nice flat

We had a great stay at this property. We love the location and the fact that free parking is available right off the Scores and also nearby. The flat was clean and comfortable. It was freezing when we arrived (St Andrews was experiencing a colder-than-usual storm), so it took awhile to get the heat on and adjusted properly. It worked perfectly for our needs for the week. The owners were very responsive.

More than imagined

The flat was as advertised. All communications with Siggy and Hilary were quick and easy, and they even went out of their way to make an adjustment to our arrival time. The accommodations, location, the town, golf, history and town's people couldn't have been more welcoming. We will certainly return and when we do their listing will be our first choice.

About the host

Hosted by Siggy and Hilary Mensah

Host profile image
We bought 3C Gillespie Terrace back in the 1990s and have spent many happy times here as well as renting it out for holiday lets.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to St Andrews over many years since the 1990s and absolutely love it here. It's become our relaxing retreat. We can park the car free on the road, forget it, and stroll into the town centre, a couple of streets away, or walk for miles along the West Sands - can't beat it!

What makes this property unique

Fantastic location with everything on the doorstep. The R&A and Old Course are at the end of the road, the West Sands just beyond, the Aquarium & Rock pools just opposite.
Quiet, comfortable & bright apartment.
