Thank you so much for taking the time to review. We are so happy to hear your group have had another enjoyable stay! It makes us so happy when guests come back x
This place was amazing, truly one of the most organized and accommodating place we have stayed in. The organized and clean kitchen was fantastic. Absolutely loved that there was an empty fridge and empty cabinet for accommodating our food. The bed was comfy and cozy. Absolutely everything was perfect about this home. I would highly recommend staying here!
Lovely property, well appointed, and tastefully decorated. Immaculate and updated for modern comforts. We loved being in the heart of town, surrounded by so much history, and the flat was within walking distance of so many attractions and local shopping.
We really loved this VRBO! The conservatory and garden were quite lovely and the bedrooms were spacious enough for our group. The location is fantastic as well. I can't want to come back to St Andrews and would absolutely seek out place again.

About the host
Hosted by Marian Morton
My husband and I both love travelling when we can find the time ! Like many people -we absolutely love the golfing town of St Andrews. We try to fit in quality time here with friends and family as often as possible.
Why they chose this property
We bought this gem of a property because we have always loved the beautiful town of St Andrews- it is a special place for us as we have been visiting here for over 30 years -thanks to close friends living in the area. We both fell in love with 'The Bunker Cottage' instantly -with its quaint historical charm and the beautiful garden to the rear . The fantastic stone that it was built with so many ,many years ago was an immediate love of mine -especially when I saw that it continued to the beautiful feature stone wall in the rear garden - You’ll be amazed at the unbelievably thick stone walls internally! We had wanted a house in St Andrews with a truly central location -as we plan to spend a lot of time here exploring with our family and friends. We knew this was it -within minutes of coming through the front door!
What makes this property unique
The Bunker Cottage is so cosy and welcoming inside. You can feel it's homely charm as soon as you walk through the front door. It's completely central to absolutely everything you could want from the heart of the town. The Bunkers unique character gives its history -and many stories yet to unfold! A true delight for worldwide golfers is that the World famous 'Old Course' is only a few minutes away. It's also positioned only a few minutes to the beautiful sandy beaches! Historical buildings and landmarks are easily reached on foot. There is just so much more - only a short walk away! Most guests find that no car is required from this location to take in everything that St Andrews has to offer! If you are travelling by car -even although we are right in the centre of town -we are so very fortunate to have parking bays right outside our front door for the ease of unloading ! There are plenty free street parking areas and free car parks and Free Parking Zone just a little further along North St to park up your car for the rest of your stay. The free zone and free areas are clearly signposted and easy to find in the evenings to park up.
