About this property

Sumptuous town house in central St. Andrews - 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms

Wilson House provides a very comfortable, beautifully decorated central base and is located near St Andrews' West Port. It is a south facing compact town house.

This is a perfect house for 4 but we can sleep up to 5. The kitchen table can extend to seat 5 but is best as a smaller rounder table for 4 as you have more room in the kitchen. If you are a family of 5 with children then you will all fit in fine. Most groups tend to be of 3 or 4 adults as we have 1 twin room, 1 king room and a small single room.

The house is on two levels and has a small courtyard with table and chairs for smokers or barbecuers.

On the ground floor you have the kitchen/diner with washer/dryer and then a twin bedded room with en suite shower room.

Upstairs you have a small single bedroom next to the King (UK King is 5ft wide) bedroom, the sitting room and a further shower room shared by the single and the king room. Both bathrooms have underfloor heating and heated towel rails. Please note, these stairs are relatively steep - so bear that in mind if you have a group incorporating the older and younger age groups.

The house is a traditional town house, full of character with varying door heights and widths. We have free wi-fi and Sky TV upstairs in the sitting room and downstairs in the kitchen. Travel cot (bring own bedding), baby bath, and high chair available if requested/booked in advance.

Parking - If you are lucky you can get parked for free opposite the property but it should be noted that parking is available in the 2 Argyle Street car parks very close to the property - £3.80 per day or you can park nearer the tennis courts for free. Argyle Street car parks have EV charging points.

It is only one minute’s walk from St. Andrews' West Port. On arriving at the West Port you will instantly be amongst the bustle of the shops, bars and cafes of this lively university town. The flat is about 5-10 minutes walk from the first hole of The Old Course and because of its location all parts of town are easily accessible on foot. A minute or two in the opposite direction of the West Port you will find the Lade Braes which offers leafy walks beside the Kinness Burn.

Great VRBO!

We had a lovely stay at this St. Andrews flat. The property looks just like the photos in the listing. Booking was seamless- the host was very responsive and helpful. It is in a great location making it easy to walk into town, to the golf course, the beach, and the university. Would stay here again!

Lovely Home in Beautiful St. Andrews

This was the ideal location for our family during graduation week, 2022. The house is close to everything, but, on a quieter street which is just what we wanted. Everything about the house was very nicely designed and well thought through. Great instructions and information about appliances, etc…. We were 4 people most of the week, 2 on the weekend and 5 for a couple of nights, too. Having the small extra bedroom upstairs allowed us that flexibility which was great. Thanks again for a great stay!

This was the first time any of us had used VRBO. After wading through the numerous property options, comparing amenities, converting dollar to pounds and pounds back to dollars, we finally pulled the trigger and hit the bullseye. The Wilson House is a newly renovated property and has been upgraded with all the latest appliances and amenities. It did take three highly educated individuals to figure out how to operate some of the appliances but fortunately Tim and Suki provided a folder with all the original manuals and instructions. The ground floor consists of a bedroom with its own bathroom and the kitchen/dining area. Although the dining area was a little smug it worked out well for the three of us. There are two bedrooms, a bathroom and living room area on the second floor. The spiral staircase to the second floor could be a little tricky for those with mobility issues. There might still be a tea stain on the top step…sorry Suki, my bad. We were a ten-minute walk to the first tee of the Old Course and two blocks from the 500 year old West Port entrance to St Andrews. That area of the town has everything you will need while staying in St Andrews. This property has one major benefit that others don’t. Wilson House is located next door to Golf City Taxis. We did not rent a car. The taxis were convenient, cheaper and safer. They went everywhere we needed to go. If this property is to small for you consider Tim and Suki’s latest project soon to be available. It sleeps eight, has five bathrooms and is gorgeous. This property is only a five-minute walk to the first tee of the Old Course and, yes, there is a story behind the tiger mounted on the wall. James, Jeff and Harold

This was a wonderful gem to stay at. Beautifully decorated and comfortable beds. Everyone had their own private room for sleeping. So close to everything within walking distance and close to the bus station. Also there was a 24 hour taxi service just a couple doors down.The host was excellent in responding to my questions in a timely manner and so helpful.Such a pleasure to work with. Also had a few goodies waiting for us when we checked in. Definitely will be back. Was here for a golf event.

Great location in St. Andrews. A short walk to St. Andrews golf courses, beach, pubs and sights. Parking was always available on the street. Stayed 4 nights on a golf trip with my 3 sons. Everyone had their own bed, which is important. Nice living room upstairs and patio outside. Hope to stay there again.

Charming, cosy cottage in a perfect location.

We stayed 4 nights while on a golf trip to St. Andrews. The house is very attractively and comfortably finished with good beds, lovely bedding and a very beautiful living room. Everything was very satisfactory except the washer dryer which we found did not dry our clothes ( which may be user error) and a rsther squeaky fan in the downstairs bathroom which could be improved.

About the host

Hosted by Suki Stobbs

Host profile image
We are both from Fife and my husband Tim was born and brought up in St. Andrews. I was a student here so we both know the town very well. Tim is in charge of all the maintenance and gardening and Suki runs the bookings. If you would like to meet up with either of us to help orientate you one of us is usually in town and would be delighted to organise a visit. We own 3 superb holiday houses in central St. Andrews and are keen golfers so are happy to answer any golf related questions visitors might have. We have this property along with a 1 bedroom property and a 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom property with terrace, veranda and garden. We also showcase on VRBO our rural cottages in Perthshire.

Why they chose this property

Tim's family owned and operated a soft drinks brewery called Wilson & Co located behind this property. In the 1980s the brewery became flats and this house, the lemonade maker's house was sold. We bought it back a few years ago to create a luxury townhouse which we have named Wilson House in honour of the past. You will see the old lemonade and ginger beer bottles displayed in the kitchen and sitting room.

What makes this property unique

Being an old house you will find some doorways are wider and taller than others which adds a bit of character, it is not a new build. You will enjoy its central location, its beautifully designed interior and its comfort.
