Great location right in town and walkable to everything. So close to west sands beach where in the summer you can view both sunrise (if you are prepared to rise at 3am) and sunset just a few hours later!
The house was so comfortable and clean and well equipped and lots of space to relax. And a contained back garden and conservatory to boot. Beautifully old property with a long history. We came for my sons graduation from St Andrews. We are sorry to leave this magical place but we will be back. Thank you for letting us stay in this great property.

A wonderfully welcoming home in the heart of St Andrews. Our family loved staying at Cowper’s Close while exploring the town, enjoying a round of golf and touring the Highlands. There was plenty of room for our 7 adults to relax, particularly enjoying the conservatory. The beds were very comfortable and had been configured nicely for our couples. If you like traditional home style, books and cozy furnishings, this is a perfect place. As well, there are plenty of coffee shops and good restaurants close by, many providing good options for dietary needs. Our family felt very much at home staying here and would definitely book again.

I rented this cottage for my daughter and niece, and their fiancees.
This cottage was awesome.
Large, comfortable, wonderful.
The kitchen was plenty big.
We had a family farewell dinner there on our last night.
Between the patio, the yard, and the dinning room it was perfect.
Highly recommend.
The two bathrooms for 4 bedrooms was no issue at all.

Super convenient. We stayed here for a golf trip and found the property to be everything we needed; large enough to easily host more than just the 4 of us and a fantastic location. We didn't use the garage; on the odd occasion when we left the house after 9am we simply popped £1.10 into the meter outside the house via the Ringo app.

We spent a spectacular week at this property visiting our daughter, who is a student at St. Andrews and celebrating Thanksgiving with a few of her friends. We will be back!

This house is very spacious yet cozy. There are many rooms (family room, living room and dining room, sun room) besides kitchen, garden and 4 bedrooms. The beds were comfortable and had excellent linens. 2 full bathrooms was helpful. Across the street and next door were truly wonderful bakery, breakfast/lunch carry out, a pub and steak restaurant. This house is located in the old town within walking distance of the castle, cathedral and the old course. I 100% recommend this vacation home.

Cowpers Close, St Andrew
This is an excellent base for a stay in St Andrews. The house is warm and comfortable with plenty of room for our party of six adults. Its location right in the centre of town meant that restaurants, bars, shops, golf, the beaches and the historic attractions were all within easy walking distance. The house is very well equipped with everything you need in a holiday rental. - the Aga cooker and the baby grand piano made the house extra special.

Amazing property in fantastic location
We felt very much at home in this property. It is very spacious and had everything you could possibly want or need, including a huge selection of books and games. The kitchen was very well equipped and the Aga made the kitchen and diningroom so cosy. The bedrooms were very comfortable with lovely mattresses, pillows and bedding and we had great nights sleep. The location is right in the heart of St Andrews and everything within easy walking distance. Would love to return in the summer to make use of the lovely conservatory and garden. This was a very special place and full of character and we would love to return one day.

Perfect rental
This property was amazing. From the outside of the house it looks really small, but it is very spacious, and was perfect for our purposes. It is right in the middle of town and everything is easily accessible walking. Thank you! If available, we will definitely stay here again.

Spacious and delightful
Great place to stay. It’s a bit of a walk to the St. Andrews courses, particularly if the weather is poor, but overall an excellent location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
