My adult son and I stayed for one week while I was at the university. The apartment is extremely well set-up and in an ideal location for me to walk to my programme and for my son to explore St Andrews and the surrounding area.

the property could not have been better. The location was to die for. We would definitely stay here again if we get the opportunity to get back to St Andrews!

The location of this flat in St Andrews is spot on! Beautiful views of the North Sea and the Old Course is so close. The flat has everything one would need. Very clean and lovely home. Hilary and Siggy respond quickly to any question we had. We would love to come back again next year.
5.0 / 5.0
The flat was as advertised. All communications with Siggy and Hilary were quick and easy, and they even went out of their way to make an adjustment to our arrival time.
The accommodations, location, the town, golf, history and town's people couldn't have been more welcoming.
We will certainly return and when we do their listing will be our first choice.

I loved my stay at this flat! Beautiful location overlooking the North Sea, the flat was very well stocked, immaculately clean, quiet and cozy. I was able to walk everywhere in town and to golf without needing a car, and my morning walks along the West Sands will be memories I cherish for years to come. Hilary was a fantastic host - very easy to reach, ad quick to reply. I highly recommend staying here on you next trip to St Andrews!

My best golf friend and I met 30 years ago this year, when he moved from Boston to Cincinnati. We’ve been playing golf together ever since, and thought St Andrews was a fitting destination to celebrate our “30th anniversary”. This property was perfect for us, as the layout of the apartment is great, and you can’t beat the location. Old Course right down the road and everything else (pubs, restaurants, shopping) is a two minute walk. The hosts were fantastic. Could not have been better. Cheers!

The reviews are spot on! This is a lovely apartment in an excellent location. If it had a sea view, it would command double the price. Loved having room to spread out (there were two of us) and was so happy to have a washer/dryer before continuing on our month-long trip. No negatives. Hope to return!

The location was amazing for my golfing husband. Close to Old Course and many other courses. The entrance to the property was unkept and uninviting. Problem with toilet not flushing. Called owners. They suggested dumping bucket of water into bowl. Worked, but never heard back from them about plumber. It was a long week hauling water from Kitchen to bathroom. Sad issue.
5.0 / 5.0
We have been to St. Andrews many times and stayed at various hotels and guest houses. Nothing compares to this terrific apartment. The location is stunning, right next to the Old Course and sited on the Scores so that your first view every morning was the vista of the North Sea and the expanse of golf courses. The apartment is immaculate, well appointed and very comfortable. I have never been in a better equipped kitchen. We enjoyed making our breakfast each morning and looking out on the pretty neighboring gardens.
The location is the best. We could walk to the golf courses, the grocery store, and all restaurants. We took advantage of the Fife Coastal Walk and beach walks as well.
Hosts Siggy and Hillary were exceedingly responsive and have the easiest checkin process and key system. They answered the few questions we had immediately. We felt as though we were staying in a friends home, not a leased apartment.
We could not recommend this property more highly and wish that there was a ten star rating available!

I highly recommend this property for golfers or visiting your University student! Hilary and Siggy are conscientious hosts and the property was 100% as advertised. The location cannot be beat - literally steps from the Old Course, West Sands Beach, the University and all this charming town has to offer! Self check in was a breeze and the apartment was clean, comfortable, well appointed, and the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials. We hope to return again in the future!

A very nice flat for two, and maybe one more. We hope to be back.
The best part is it is 151 steps to the front of the R&A clubhouse, ideal.

Wonderful stay in St. Andrews
If you’re looking for clean, organized and perfectly located accommodations while in St. Andrews, you’re not going to find anything better than The Scores. An absolutely wonderful apartment with all the amenities. Clean, comfortable and a short stroll to shops, restaurants and of course, The Old Course. Thanks again for adding to our perfect St. Andrews holiday ❤️

Beyond great location!!!
My husband, daughter and I came for golf in St. Andrews. Plenty of room for all of us. Great kitchen too! The flat was a 30 sec to 1 min walk to the Old Course and we could get to fun restaurants in 5 to 10 min walks. Great location and very clean!!

Lovely apartment!
Perfect location with easy access to downtown, university and golf. The one flight of stairs to the apartment is awkward, but the apartment itself is great. Lots of light with south facing windows. Nicely appointed kitchen. Hope to stay again!
