My husband and I just stayed for three nights and I highly recommend Lorimer Guest House to anyone visiting St Andrews. Check in and communication are great. We had a deluxe double suite facing the front of the house. …

Scott made our golf trip truly memorable. His knowledge of the area, the courses and evening dining suggestions were spot on! The breakfast was perfect, whether a hearty traditional Scottish breakfast or my favourite eggs and smoked salmon. And Scott is just a nice person to talk to as you start out on your daily adventures!

We stayed for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. Our group of 7 used about half of the rooms and each was different but nice! Scott and the team were fantastic, from a cooked to order breakfast, to local area information. We will stay here when we come back!!!

Scott is a great host and provides great conversation. Check in was a breeze. The rooms are clean and very well kept. Breakfast was great each day and he will cater to dietary needs. Everything you need is within walking distance. Scott is a golfer and understands what you may need throughout your trip.

We had originally planned a golf trip to St Andrews for summer 2020. We then had to reschedule to 2021, then to 2022. Three years after first booking w/ Lorimer House we finally arrived! …
