Great place for a golf trip
Walking out every morning and being able to see the ocean, R&A building and Old Course 1st tee box and 18th green was incredible. Great location and everything we needed.There were just 2 of us on this trip so more than enough space. If it were 2 couples, it might be a little tight but it was perfect for our needs.The owners clearly care and have everything in great condition and excellent communication.

Great stay, very nice flat
We had a great stay at this property. We love the location and the fact that free parking is available right off the Scores and also nearby. The flat was clean and comfortable. It was freezing when we arrived (St Andrews was experiencing a colder-than-usual storm), so it took awhile to get the heat on and adjusted properly. It worked perfectly for our needs for the week. The owners were very responsive.

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.

More than imagined
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.

Perfect flat on St Andrews doorstep
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!

Bucket list item with best golf friend
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! Keith & John

Believe the reviews
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!

Toilet issue
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.

Outstanding Stay
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!

About the host

Hosted by Siggy and Hilary Mensah

Host profile image
We bought 3C Gillespie Terrace back in the 1990s and have spent many happy times here as well as renting it out for holiday lets.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to St Andrews over many years since the 1990s and absolutely love it here. It's become our relaxing retreat. We can park the car free on the road, forget it, and stroll into the town centre, a couple of streets away, or walk for miles along the West Sands - can't beat it!

What makes this property unique

Fantastic location with everything on the doorstep. The R&A and Old Course are at the end of the road, the West Sands just beyond, the Aquarium & Rock pools just opposite.
Quiet, comfortable & bright apartment.
