Beds were a bit uncomfortable and awkward with two singles pushed together but otherwise a nice place and responsive management. Could be a bit better with amenities eg bin bags, extra blankets

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate it. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the Wee House and rated it 5*. Regarding the beds, these are new beds and mattresses purchased only a few weeks ago, and therefore may just be getting settled in to. We certainly take your feedback on board and will look in to the things mentioned further. All the best, Kingask.
Well presented and great location being few minutes walk away from all the main town centre attractions as well as the beach.
Only downside was no parking with the property but car parks near to hand- pay and display during business hours.
St Andrew’s itself really beautiful and good vibe to it.

Wish it were always available
We’ve tried so many times over the years to book the Wee House but it is very popular. Now we know why. It is in a great location and really well outfitted. Hoping we can book it again soon!

Property was centrally located in St. Andrews, steps from everything.
Communication and documentation was clear and well presented, check in was very easy.
Property was very clean, everything worked well, and I would not hesitate to stay again in this property.
The only missing item was a hair dryer which would have been helpful.
A very clever conversion. Clean and Comfortable with a very comprehensive level of kitchen utensils. Perfect for a small family or a romantic getaway.
A little chilly if weather very cold.

Just returned from a long weekend staying at the Wee House. It's ideally situated right in the heart of St Andrews literally a few metres from bars, restaurants and cafes. Parking is also very close and we found using the RingGo app to be very useful. The property is well appointed with all the usual things we need for modern living, wifi, en suite with great showers,and so on. I highly recommend The Wee House and will definitely return on a future visit to St Andys!

We are delighted to hear you were pleased with everything at the property and that you would recommend the Wee House.
We very much hope to have you to stay with us again in the near future.
It was really an experience to stay in this historical place and what a beautiful place it is. It’s super spacious and comfortable and has a really perfect homely feel to it. The location of it of course the best part of it. We really wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else but the Wee House. The communication with them was so quick and every question was answered immediately. They were extremely accommodating and I really appreciate the warm welcome we felt. Thank you so much. We can’t wait to be back again.

Great location. Literally walk to hundreds of restaurants, pubs and shop
The beds were not very comfortable for a tall person! Bring your own sheets and you will be fine!
