We stayed here for our vacation in St. Andrews and we couldn’t have been happier. Everything is tastefully decorated, clean, and accommodating for its guests. Every morning we had a beautiful breakfast in the common house, which is filled with gorgeous plants and decor. Yufei is a phenomenal and helpful host who truly cares for her craft and guests. We travel a lot and this is by far the best place we’ve ever stayed. I wish I could give it 10 stars!

Ailim House is an absolute gem in the heart of St Andrews. We were looking for somewhere with parking as our stay was part of a longer UK break catching up with friends and family so we needed our car - parking is not easy in St Andrews. We could park our car right outside the cottage, which was perfect.We didn’t realise how great the location was until we were there. It’s right on the doorstep of the old course, just a 2 minute walk.The hosts are lovely and made us feel very welcome. Out of all our recent stays in the UK this place was our favourite and we would love to return in the future.

Awesome! The hosts could not have been more accommodating or professional! They were more knowledgeable about everything, including our schedule, than we could have expected and it made everything go super smoothly. The breakfasts were terrific, the location within the town is unbeatable - They even helped us make dinner reservations. Hopefully, I will return to St. Andrews one day and will do everything I can to stay with them again.

Located in the center of St. Andrews between the University and Golf Links with plenty of sites to see and restaurants and bars. The accommodations are very modern and easy to access by vehicle or walking. Very easy walking to restaurants and sites.Onsite breakfasts are 5 star and a great start to every day. Facilities offer a great place to relax between walks and enjoy a snack and tea in the afternoon. Hosts know all about the area and found a music rental place where I could borrow an instrument.
