10th wedding anniversary - Family holiday
We stayed in St Andrews on a family holiday to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. The house was great, a short walk to the town and east sands beach. It had everything you needed, and parking wasnt an issue on the side road for the additional car. Would highly recommend.

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.

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"
