Great location to walk to central StA golf, shops and restaurants, and very friendly couple running it! A good value for a BnB type place, with perfect full breakfast. Easy (street) parking across the street. What looks like a busy street location was quiet at night and mornings. Highly recommend.

Fantastic. We were looking for a place to stay for a golfing break in St Andrews. Elaine and Derek sorted us a room. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Cracking cooked breakfast too. And the homemade jam is absolutely delicious.

We stayed for two nights this past month as part of an organized golf trip to Scotland. Henry Golf Tours booked it for us and we had no prior knowledge of St. Andrews in general or Kinburn in particular.  …

We were in the Ardbeg room which is small , but clean and tidy . The bathroom was tiny with a shower. |There wasn’t any room where you could sit and read etc so you had to remain in the bedroom and just rest on the bed . …

My daughter and I had a lovely stay with Elaine and Derek. The room was well appointed and very clean and comfortable. Hot breakfast was wonderful (with home made jam and marmalade and a view of the dogs happily sleeping across the courtyard). The location is very convenient. We will return!
