About this cottage rental
Just a hop, skip and a jump to East Sands beach, The Wayfarer’s House is an idyllic St Andrews retreat.
This perfectly cosy home welcomes you in to the lounge and dining area, which provides access to the kitchen area to the rear. The spacious living area is flooded with natural light, with French doors opening up in to its private back garden. No winter day is complete without a log-burning stove – return home from a long (and possibly wet!) day out, to warm up beside the fire with a hot chocolate in hand.
The kitchen, which retains its original stone wall, comes equipped with all you could require for your self-catered stay.
The first floor encompasses a twin or super king bedroom, a double bedroom and the master bathroom with a shower over the bath. Up another set of stairs, the second floor houses the largest double bedroom and another bathroom equipped with a shower cubicle, and sea views!
To the rear of the property off the kitchen and living room, is a private and completely enclosed garden. Just around the corner from The Wayfarer’s House, you have access to East Sands beach and the famous Cheesy Toast Shack, as well as a wonderful off-road walk down to the Cathedral ruins and straight in to town.
The Wayfarer's is set over three floors and briefly compromises of:
Ground floor:
Lounge with wood burning stove
Fully equipped kitchen
First floor:
One twin or superking bedroom
One double bedroom
Master bathroom with shower over bath
Second floor:
Double bedroom
Bathroom with shower cubicle and sea views
Exterior:
Private gravelled garden to the rear
EPC rating: D

This property was in a great location and well situated near a busy street with restaurants and shops, but far enough away that it was quiet during the day and night. It was very spacious and had a cute courtyard in the back, but there weren’t enough clips to hang dry our clothes on the line. The other issues we had were that we only received one bath and hand towel each, one small toilet paper roll per bathroom, one small hand gel per bathroom, no shelves or hanging trays for soap in showers, and there was a safety issue when locking the door from the outside. One of the guests in the home was locked in and had no way to get out and maintenance was not able to come out since it was the weekend. This could be a potential fire hazard. We enjoyed our stay, but thought the VRBO could use improvement in these areas mentioned above.

4.5
Positives:
-House light and surprisingly large.
-Kitchen well equipped
-Beds comfortable, clean white linen and towels much appreciated,
-Lovely sea views from back of house.
-Car Park very close was really helpful as had thought we would have to park on the street.
-Easy walk into town
-when I asked about an ironing board one was delivered within 30 minutes - very impressed
My negatives:
-St Mary Road is noisy in large part because the speed limit of 30mph is frequently exceeded.
-Given the heat last week it meant we couldn’t have had the windows of the 2 road facing bedrooms open at night.
-The quality of the duvet and mattress cover of the top floor bedroom were much inferior to those of the first floor bedrooms.
-The first floor bathroom lock was not working when we arrived and I informed Kingsask the following morning (Wednesday 26). It didn’t bother us but others might mind.
