Perfect St. Andrews location
Overall this was a perfect little home for us to stay in during our short visit to St. Andrews. The location is central to be able to walk anywhere you want. Lots of restaurant and coffee shop options. Only disappointment we had was that the smoke alarm in the kitchen went off randomly as we were trying to go to bed the third night. There was no apparent reason for it to go off and so our third night was not a great one, figuring out how to get the alarm to stop beeping and hoping it didn't go off again during the night.

We loved this townhouse, it was comfortable, well-equipped and right in the middle of town so we walked everywhere. The owners left a full range of coffee and tea supplies to get us started. The backyard garden was beautiful for a wee dram in the afternoon (when it wasn't raining).

Great little cottage near the Old Course
My family and I enjoyed staying at The Bunker. The owner responded quickly to our questions, and check in was easy. After staying in hotel rooms for over a week, the chance to spread out, enjoy a private garden and do some laundry was a relief. The Bunker was clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect—within a block of the campus one way and Market Street for shopping the other. The Old Course was a 5-minute walk along quaint North Street. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone visiting St. Andrews for golf or exploring. You won’t be disappointed.

At the heart of St Andrews
Marian's cottage is at the heart of the original town of St Andrews. It is comfortable and quiet - perfect for a visit to the old town, a golfing weekend, or a university graduation trip. The kitchen is very well equipped and the beds were generally comfortable. I highly recommend it.

The perfect space!
My husband and our adult son stayed here and it was the best space! It's an easy walk to all of the restaurants and points of interest and there are multiple coffee shops within 2 blocks, one right across the street. With 3 floors we had plenty of space to spread out. The beds and bedding are the most comfortable I have slept in while traveling in a long time. There were also fans provided which is a big bonus in my book, especially when the nights are still a little warm. The beautiful back yard space was also a relaxing area to hang out away from the city. I would 10/10 stay here again if I visit St. Andrews again.

Walker Cup Weekend
We had a stunning long weekend in St Andrews watching the Walker Cup. Bunker cottage could not have been better. It is in the perfect location, just a few minutes walk from the Old Course first tee. We even had time after watching the morning foursomes to walk back to the cottage, eat our lunch in the lovely secluded garden and then back to the Old Course for the afternoon singles matches. Very comfortable, well equipped and exactly as described. Only gave 5 stars because I couldn't give it 6!!
