Quaint and convenient

As described, close, and provides all necessities of your stay in St.Andrews. Of note, lower ceilings for anyone above 6’. Pay close to attention to directions, even local drivers had difficult time locating it. Bring all toiletries, none were provided as stated. Stellar communication throughout.

Wonderful child friendly home in St Andrews

Our family stayed in this lovely home during our sister’s wedding. It was just perfect for us (3 adults and two young children). The house is very comfortable and perfect for a young family as it has a high chair and portable crib along with plastic dishes etc. the garden is lovely with easy access from the kitchen. All in all a really great stay! Hope to come back again!

Wonderful St Andrews golf break

Could not ask for a better location, walking distance to everything. A car or taxi is helpful if you're going to the links with your clubs although a couple of us did walk down with out clubs. The beds were comfortable and the rear yard was great when the sun came out. Would definitely book again. We were 8 golfers ranging in age from 60 to 74.

Great house, great location

Lovely house, well equipped, tastefully decorated, very clean. Spacious lounge/dining room & large kitchen. Comfortable bedrooms. Only 1 parking space on site, but we found spaces in the street outside fairly easily. Excellent location, easy walking distance to town centre, restaurants, take-aways, etc. Owner was very helpful with advice & recommendations.

Family Trip

What a perfect house for a St Andrews trip. I tagged along with my husband and adult sons on their golf trip. The location couldn’t be any better. Walkable to everything-restaurants, grocery store, shops, golf course. The house is very large with plenty of storage for golf clubs, etc. Everything was so clean and communication was great. I loved sitting in the beautiful side garden. Just make sure to put Dauphinhill as address for any directions or delivery as there is no house number. You won’t be sorry renting this charming house.

Easter Break

An excellent stay in a well equipped property in a great location. The property was very well presented with some lovely touches that made us feel very welcome and at home right from the off. The single parking space was essential as one member of our party had mobility issues so this, and the proximity to the centre of town, was a big factor in choosing this house. Parking in the nearby streets for a second car is easy enough but at busy times could mean a walk of a few minutes to the house so something to be aware of.

Why they chose this property

Dauphinhill has been our family home for 30 years and we spent many special holidays there getting to know the town and the beautiful East Neuk coast. Having recently refurbished the house we now hope that other families can also enjoy using it as a base from which to explore all the delights that St Andrews has to offer. We love the fact that it's so close to the action but is still such a relaxing space to come back to at the end of a busy day. Minutes from the beach and minutes from the town centre...what's not to love!

What makes this property unique

“A hop, skip and a jump” from the best ice cream in St Andrews ...Jeanetta’s Gelateria

“Surprisingly lovely garden for the centre of town”

" The garden is a hidden gem and totally unexpected"
