What a perfect home base for a week in St Andrews. Kerr and Suzanne were an absolute pleasure to work with. Easy to communicate with for the entire time leading up to our trip, as well as personally greeting us when we arrived.
I’ll add to this when I have a moment, but you cannot go wrong with Swilcan Ciew!

This was my second stay at Swilken View, and it was every bit as good as the first. The location is unparalleled, the bedrooms comfortable, and the living spaces ample. Can't wait to come back!

Wow! What a fabulous home, location, view - the total experience was everything we hoped it would be and more. If you ever need a place in Scotland to base your buddies golf trip, look no further than Swilken View. The owner was engaged with us the entire time, begining 2 years ago when we made the reservations. AMAZING!

The unit worked out perfectly for us. The unit had all the amenities we could have wanted. Kitchen was very well stocked and appointed. Bedrooms and bathrooms the same. Large dining room and sitting room. Majestic view of the Old Course and St Andrews Links. We hope to be back.

Swilken View is the ideal property for a group on a golf holiday in Fife. To wake up every morning looking out over The Old Course is just incredible! There is no better location in St Andrews - walking distance to most everything. It appears the kitchen was recently remodeled with great appliances. While it could sleep 8, the 4 bedrooms allowed our foursome each a private room. The laundry room came in handy for mid-week washing. This place was so great that i would plan our next trip around Swilken View availability.

Absolutely beautiful house, a stones throw away from Swilken Bridge. A very short walk to the centre of St.Andrews. Highly recommend.

Kerr’s place was beautiful. In a great location with outstanding views and very comfortable. Will definitely stay there again!

This has to be the best place to stay in St. Andrews, especially if you are a golfer. We had 4 couples come from NY for a week. Couldn’t dream of anything better. The place was outstanding in every way. Waking up to the view is a hard thing to leave and come home. The house has everything you could ever want. I will recommend this to every golfer I know. And hopefully will be back soon.

Swilken View is a truly fabulous place to stay when visiting St Andrews. If you are a golfer, the location can hardly be bettered, overlooking the Old Course and as the name implies, the centuries old Swilken Bridge. The house is spacious and comfortable and exactly as described in the web pages. We all loved it.

Amazing location. Everything clean and in working order. Perfect for 8 golfers. If I could give this place 6 stars I would.

Spectacular location for a golf trip. We had 8 guys and had plenty of room with a terrific kitchen. You will never get tired of looking out the window to the 17th green of the Old Course and the Swilken Bridge.
5.0
The apartment was perfectly set up for a group of 8 golfers. The 3 bedrooms on the ground floor are simply but sufficiently furnished. The primary bedroom is larger with a much larger ensuite. The living room, dining room and kitchen are well suited for a group of 8. The dining room easily accommodates the entire group and the kitchen is abundantly stocked with stemware, plates, bowls, cutlery, pans, etc. There are no issues with cooking 3 meals a day.
The manager could not have been more responsive and helpful. We had a small plumbing issue in the kitchen and a plumber was dispatched quickly.
The location is ideal with amazing views of the old course. We are already planning a return trip!
Highly recommend.

This was our 2nd stay at Swilken View, so there were no surprises other than improvements like the freezer is now up in the kitchen, and the dryer is in the laundry room. Also, the motorized garage door was an improvement.
It's a perfect location for a golf group. There was just the two of us, but there's room for loads more. It's a terrific place to watch the first golfers going out at 6:30, and last finishing around 10 pm.
If we're able to come back for a 3rd time, we'll do it again!

We rented both of Kerr’s properties for an 8 person golf trip. I can’t imagine there is a better place to stay in St. Andrew’s for this type of trip. Our place was spacious and very well equipped. The views of the old course are amazing and the garage was great for storing all of our golf gear. Kerr was very responsive. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking to have a home base in St. Andrew’s.

Kerr and Suzanne have a wonderful home that we were fortunate to stay in whilst playing the courses of St Andrews. And what a place it is. The house has everything we needed and all of my friends commented on how lucky we were to have found it when it was available. We were able to enjoy chatting about the Old Course whilst looking out over the Old Course!
Thank you Kerr and Suzanne for making our trip to St Andrew so memorable - we hope to be back next year - best wishes Tom

Relaxing festive break
Large, well equipped house, very comfortably furnished providing excellent accommodation with tremendous views. Our family consisted of two adult couples and 2 children. Plenty of space and privacy all round. As others have mentioned, parking is very tight. So tight I just parked at the free public car park across the road. Stunning views and easy walking distance to town. Overall we were delighted with our stay.

Never felt so at home in a holiday accommodation. Property deceptively large when you cross over the doorway. House excellently furnished and every need has been anticipated by the owners. Location perfect and views amazing. Would recommend this property to anyone and will certainly return.

Perfectly located
If you enjoy your golf and are looking for a centrally located 8 bed house, look no further. Just a short walk to the shops, restaurants and golf. The accommodation is like new and has all you could need for either entertaining or just relaxing and spinning tales about that approach shot on the 18th. Have been 3 years in a row, no more to say.

Family holiday
Lovely property with excellent facilities. Only down sides were no immediate outside space eg garden or balcony to sit out in and 3 of the 4 bedrooms were next to the busy, sometimes very noisy road which may be a problem if you’re a light sleeper. Other than that we were extremely happy with the property.
