What our customers Say


It was clean and cosy, very spacious and had some great games to play. Steven was helpful and sent clear instructions on how to enter and how to leave the property. Would reccomend.


Excellent property for a family holiday, clean, spacious and a great location.


Had a great stay couldn’t be in a better location for the town and importantly the golf . Was very accommodating and responsive to requests, would absolutely stay here again and no doubt will do in the future. Had a fabulous time and couldn’t fault it.


We stayed with 5 Adults and it would habe been perfectly fine for six as well. The cottage simply beautiful and extremely well equipped. Steven and his Team were very friendly and reacted immediately to any communication. We will be back in summer to enjoy the lovely little garden!


The rooms were well laid out and the furnishings very comfortable. There were also special details, including beautiful artwork. All in all it was a super peaceful setting conveniently located a very short walk from the center and the cathedral. We really enjoyed it!


Top Line.. I’d stay there again and probably will. —— There is plenty of room and it was warm in the winter. There is street parking which we used instead of a garage. All the things you need to stay for a few days are there. Very quiet as it…


We loved this cottage with all its little quirky features and well equipped kitchen plenty of room for our 5 adults and 2 little people. In a nice quiet location but not to far from the shops and restaurants especially the famous ice cream shop.


Great place.


Superb cottage and location. Steven was extremely responsive and helpful – highly recommend!


A great house in a good location. Walking distance to The Links and restaurants.


As you enter the front gate, you are met with a beautiful garden and small seating area that we enjoyed while the sun was out. The inside rooms were all spacious, including a nice seating area and dining room. St. Andrews is very walkable and we never found ourselves more…


Lovely cottage, we had a great time! St Andrews is very beautiful, the location of this cottage is very central and convenient with easy on street parking. Lovely garden!

This was a great place to stay for 4 adults. It was spacious and well located in the heart of St Andrew’s.


This is the third time we’ve stayed in Orchard Cottage and given the choice we wouldn’t stay anywhere else. The location is amazing, just a short stroll into the town centre. The main thing is that the house is amazing, and we all agree that it’s a real home from…


Nice house had everything needed for our stay.


Just spent a few days at Orchard cottage , absolutely lovely, and in perfect location to the centre of St Andrews, the cottage has everything you need and more to help you relax home from home, didn’t want for anything, lovely and clean, and very spacious


Wonderful place to stay for our family of five adults, I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting St Andrews. The cottage was well equipped, and the kitchen better than mine at home! Steven was also incredibly helpful, and responsive when we needed his help. Thank you for everything!


Everything perfect! Nothing to complain. I am grateful that the host was willing to let us stay in the cottage for an extra hour. Thanks again for a pleasant stay and a great apartment. All the best Tobias


Superb cottage within easy reach of the town. We could not be happier with our stay. Brilliant!

Great location and place!


We have really enjoyed our stay here. The place is lovely and well maintained.


Great place, great hosts, wished the golf game would have been better 🙂 Thanks all.


Excellent holiday property feels very homely. Facilities very good and little garden is nice to sit in, (quite steep steps down for little ones) Short walk to town, Janetta’s and the harbour and cathedral. Our second stay here and we hope to return next next year.


House was great too, it had everything we needed & was very comfortable. The location was perfect in a quiet residential street but only a 5 minute walk past the Byre Theatre to South Street.


We had a fabulous time in this excellent cottage, it is very spacious and has everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. This is the 3rd property we have rented in St Andrews from this company and they have all been excellent and we wouldn’t hesitate to book…


Great location in a beautiful Town… Loads to do. The host has everything covered and communication is Fab!! spotless with amazing character, wonderful!!… Won’t hesitate to return next year!!


Close to downtown (10 min walk) yet far enough that parking was easy (bonus it has a garage spot). Check-in was easy and Steven was very helpful and responsive. The place is much bigger than I expected


Central location walkable to all of St. Andrews. Most importantly, close to Jeanetta’s Gelato! Wonderful and comfortable accommodations. Steven was immediately responsive to all requests. Thank you for an unforgettable week!


Visiting to celebrate a family birthday we had an excellent time in Orchard cottage . Within walking distance of the town centre and the nearby harbour. The cottage is a cosy and welcoming place.


It was a lovely and relaxing stay for a few days whilst visiting our student daughter in the town . Everything was very clean , neat and tastefully decorated. The garage was quite small but fine for a small car, and the steps to the entrance were quite steep for…


Really enjoyed orchard cottage, cosy, warm & welcoming, clean & tidy with lovely furnishings & decor. Everything you needed provided for a short or longer stay. Perfect location & handy to walk to everywhere in St Andrews. Any questions we had were promptly answered by the host. We’d definitely consider…


Beautiful home, great location, felt comfortable and had everything our family of 6 needed to make meals, relax, and do laundry. We especially enjoyed the lovely little dining room and the private yard. Great to have a small garage for the car. Perfect for our family’s visit. We highly recommend!


Our second stay as we loved it so much the first time ! Fabulous cottage , perfect for a family holiday with children and grandparents . Cottage very well equipped , clean , warm and comfortable. Hosts really efficient and informative. Excellent location for exploring St Andrews.


Great property, works well for a family of 2 adults, 2 teenagers and a grandparent. Ideally located to walk into town and the beach. Lovely and toasty warm during Autumn, no need for the extra blankets we brought just in case!


Wonderful, fair priced 3 bedroom in downtown St Andrews. Location was great, could walk to everything. Airbnb was clean, and the owner was organized. Highly recommend.


Loved the house and everything about it. Loved the well maintained walled garden. 3 Bedrooms and 2 bath plus a great lounge and kitchen plus intimate dining room. Short walk to centre of town.


Orchard Cottage was a wonderful base for our trip to The Open Championship. It’s close to pubs and a 10-15 min stroll to the Old Course (once you find your way LOL). The garden is a wonderful spot to start your day with a coffee before getting on with your…


We rented this for a stay just before Christmas with three generations of our family getting together. The cottage was so central we could walk into town in a matter of two minutes, yet we didn’t hear any traffic. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom were perfect for grandparents. The whole…


Orchard Cottage is the perfect spot for a visit to St. Andrews! Just a block south of South Street, you’re steps from all that the town has to offer – history, restaurants, golf, beaches – but it’s much quieter than staying on the main streets. The beds are comfortable, the…


The cottage was lovely and a great location, plenty of room and well equipped.


We booked Orchard Cottage for a family wedding nearby. The cottage is in a perfect spot and everything in St Andrews is within walking distance. All 3 bedrooms are of good size and it was handy to have 2 bathrooms . Lots of cutlery , pots and pans etc in…


Fantastic location. Less than 5 minutes to the town centre and an easy walk, provided this is your thing, to the first tee at the old course. We would definitely come back.


An excellent location. Lovely and spacious, great for a family and for friends. We had a problem with a fuse blowing and the electricity going off. It was fixed within the hour!

Little additions like dishwasher tabs, fairy liquid, condiments, cloths and tea towels…
