Fantastic location for a golf holiday!
The apartment was perfect for my son and I. We were in St Andrews for a week to play golf. The apartment is close to all that St Andrews has to offer, including golf, restaurants, and the supermarket. Sheila and Ian were amazing hosts! When I come back to St Andrews, I hope to stay here again!

Beautiful cottage with lovely gardens
The Whins is everything you could want in a St. Andrews property. It's a perfect location to walk anywhere in town, and as it's on a pedestrian walkway, it's very quiet. The stone wall enclosed gardens were magical. The cottage was spotless and cozy, with all we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Sheila was there to greet us, and both her and Ian checked on us to be sure we had everything we needed. We thank them for their kindness, and would love to stay again!
