10th wedding anniversary - Family holiday

We stayed in St Andrews on a family holiday to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. The house was great, a short walk to the town and east sands beach. It had everything you needed, and parking wasnt an issue on the side road for the additional car. Would highly recommend.

Easter Break

An excellent stay in a well equipped property in a great location. The property was very well presented with some lovely touches that made us feel very welcome and at home right from the off. The single parking space was essential as one member of our party had mobility issues so this, and the proximity to the centre of town, was a big factor in choosing this house. Parking in the nearby streets for a second car is easy enough but at busy times could mean a walk of a few minutes to the house so something to be aware of.

Wonderful House in the heart of St Andrews.

We booked this house for our sons wedding at St Salvador's. It could not have been more perfect. The house is beautiful and the reception areas were just right for our family and friends. The house is also a very easy walk from everything in St Andrews being a short distance from the high street. There is parking for one car on the driveway and a street adjacent to the property allows for permit free (at this stage) parking which was essential for us. The owner was a delight too. Recycling and bins were a bit of a drag though and I think there is an opportunity to improve the recycling bin arrangement inside the house to make it easier for tenants. Delightful stay, beautifuol house. Highly recommended.

Great house, great location

Lovely house, well equipped, tastefully decorated, very clean. Spacious lounge/dining room & large kitchen. Comfortable bedrooms. Only 1 parking space on site, but we found spaces in the street outside fairly easily. Excellent location, easy walking distance to town centre, restaurants, take-aways, etc. Owner was very helpful with advice & recommendations. We were a group of 4 couples, enjoyed our stay very much & would revisit / recommend.

Why they chose this property

Dauphinhill has been our family home for 30 years and we spent many special holidays there getting to know the town and the beautiful East Neuk coast. Having recently refurbished the house we now hope that other families can also enjoy using it as a base from which to explore all the delights that St Andrews has to offer. We love the fact that it's so close to the action but is still such a relaxing space to come back to at the end of a busy day. Minutes from the beach and minutes from the town centre...what's not to love!

What makes this property unique

“A hop, skip and a jump” from the best ice cream in St Andrews ...Jeanetta’s Gelateria

“Surprisingly lovely garden for the centre of town”

" The garden is a hidden gem and totally unexpected"
