This is a lovely cottage in an excellent location in Saint Andrews - it is very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Communication with the host was easy, and the host sent us a helpful booklet with information about the house and the town before our visit. The cottage has a beautiful terrace accessible from both the kitchen and the dining room. The kitchen is very well stocked and includes both a washing machine and a dryer. Highly recommend! A
