A great stay! We stayed in the cute wee cottage in the back and it was very comfortable and modern. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The only complaint was the wifi connection wasn’t great but I would stay there again. …

Sadly their wifi was down which may be why I didn't receive the code to get into the property, which is unmanned. I expect the message was stuck in their 'outbox'. …

Easy to find and a short walk from everywhere in town. The key system works well and it is quiet and very clean. Duvets, bedding and towels were of good quality and the room was nice and warm. Breakfast could be improved but there are lots of nice places to eat nearby.

Nice B&B - very helpful owners - they made contact with me on my mobile on the day of my arrival so that they would be around when I arrived. Rooms are quite small but clean and mine had a small bathroom with toilet. Good location - public car parking is 5 minutes away. Very close to town centre. The old course clubhouse is just around the corner, next to the beach - beautifully. Excellent breakfast - all the guests sit at the same table so make sure you are down early (breakfast starts at 8am, ends at 9am) to get a place.

We stayed here for one night on a quick break to St Andrews. The B&B looked a bit “tired” overall. Despite being a week before Christmas there was no festive decor in the hallway, communal sitting area or breakfast room.  …

Really excellent breakfasts. Home made jams. Home baked banana bread. Proper scrambled eggs...none of the microwave jobs a lot of places do. Lots of nice touches like a towelling robe in the bathroom, fresh fruit available all day. Beautiful situation beside golf course and beach. I felt very looked after here. Nice friendly people who own it too. Very helpful.

I had booked a king size bed. I’m 6’4 tall and need to sleep slightly diagonally, even on a king sized bed. |What I got was two singles pushed together. Not only are these shorter than a king size but also have a ridge down the middle. …
