An excellent location, very comfortable appartement.

The location was superb, it was immaculately clean and finding it had the small private courtyard was a bonus.

Only having one set of keys…. If I wanted to go to bed and my son wanted to go out, I’d have to be locked in so that my son could take the keys to get back in later which isn’t a nice feeling and I felt could be dangerous - if I had to get out suddenly I’d have had to climb out of a window! The ironing board was faulty and kept literally dropping to the floor when you pressed down to iron on it which was so dangerous. It also had no padding so you ended up ironing the metal grid pattern of the ironing board in to you silk wedding outfit; not a great look. The doorbell didn’t work; we didn’t know so missed our friends calling when we were in the courtyard and didn’t know they were at the door.

Great location for Town, Great parking

Great location, very handy with a short walk to the Town Centre and all that provides. Everything you'd expect is provided, clean and would be comfortable for 2 couples. Parking on site is very handy as can be busy elsewhere.

Sorry, but the constant automated messages felt very bot like, with no personal feel at all. I felt the strict entry and exit times (with ridiculous cost for 1 extra hour entry and exit, along with other extras) enough for me to photograph our entry time and exit... I haven't came across this level of non personal contact before with so many reminders of the limitations. (I have owned holiday homes previously so understand some constraints exist) We'd return for sure but please give some more thought to professional contact if you feel 3 or 4 messages, reminders per day is warranted.

Lovely base for a perfect long weekend with friends

Lovely central location, just a two minute walk into town and no need to drive through the centre of town to get there. It has one park space so no need to pay for parking. The cottage itself was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The sofa bed is futon so the mattress is quite a bit harder than a normal mattress but the person sleeping on it got used it. There was a slight issue because we didn’t have linen for the sofa bed but even though we realised after the letting office was closed the staff sorted it out very quickly and were very pleasant. Overall it was a great place for the three of us to have as a base for attending a wedding.

The only things are very slight niggles. There were only two dishwasher tablets and were staying four nights. As it happens we were out for dinner on three nights so didn’t accumulate much but if it hadn’t been a weekend of celebrations we would probably have eaten in more and been less happy to wash dishes by hand. The Wi-Fi works intermittently in one of the bedrooms and mobile reception is very poor in the location so getting or making phone calls can be difficult. However since we were out most of the time it wasn’t a big issue. There was a small damp patch by the bathroom door when we came and it persisted throughout our stay. It might be coming from under the shower. It wasn’t a problem for us but it did give off a slight dampish smell.

Great place spoiled by inconsiderate students.

The accomodation is amazing although could do with some lights front and rear . This time of year its so dark early as you approach the accomodation some light would be nice.

The awful noise from the students above till nearly 3 am left us exhausted for our 2nd night. My son had to put earbuds in to drown the noise out. We were up most of the night it was shocking in fact we should have called the police. I did contact short stay St Andrews to inform them.
