Eight guys from Arizona went golfing in Scotland this July. We had the absolute pleasure to stay at Shandon House B&B in St. Andrews Scotland for four days. The rooms are on the small side however more than enough for a golf trip. …

I spent 4 days at Shandon as part of a bucket list golf trip. I can honestly say that Stuart & Liz are the friendliest & most helpful of people. The whole house is spotless & met all of my requirements. I will be seeking a return to Shandon when next I play in Scotland.

Just checked out this morning. I’ve stayed here several times and highly recommend it. Murray Park is most convenient. Stuart & Liz are great hosts, and they are always graciously helpful.||I found Room 3 to be quite comfortable although it is getting near time for a new mattress on the larger bed.
