No12 Bed and Breakfast St Andrews

Exceptional

Liked: Everything was fantastic on several levels . The proximity to the town was great . It was a 15 to 20 minute walk to the old course and most restaurants. We didn’t need the car except to get to golf courses . It was close to the beach , a block away so I was able to go for walks by the shore . The hostess Pam was amazing and very accommodating . I can’t say enough how lovely everything was . Highly recommend!

Very enjoyable

Liked: Lovely freshly made breakfast . Good location for voting the casual route

Clean, Far & good for...

Liked: Good - Room was very clean, welcoming host & bathroom was very clean
Disliked: Concern - very tiny room, no wardrobe, no space to keep luggage as wellConnectivity - it’s bit far from centeral streets. If you just want to go to main streets to hangout, it’s ok to pick any bus or even walk for 20-25 mins but if you want to catch train from Leuchers and you have to 1st go to train status, it gets bit complicated; first you have to take bus from Wood Terrace to St. Andrews and then another bus to the station. Matching the timings in an efficient manner becomes bit complicated. For a mere travel distance of 20 mins it becomes more than an hour process and if you want to play safe, it’s easily more 1.5 hrs (if you are able to match the timings as buses do get late)

Unfortunate Experience

Liked: Unfortunately the host was unable to accommodate us arriving after the advertised 16:00 -18:00 check in and refused to give the keys to our daughter, (even with a passport and driver’s licence), who is studying in St Andrews so we had to book another hotel. This all happened within an hour of booking and despite Booking.com requesting a refund on my behalf the owner refused. I was told that my manner was rude, the only things I can think of that upset this lady was I ticked a box saying that I was not happy for an automatic service charge to be added to my account and when I got an automated looking answer about check in I asked the same question a second time. When I later joked that we would at least be in time for breakfast (included in the price) I was given a very firm warning not to go anywhere near the property! I have never experienced anything like this, I was left upset and £177 out of pocket.

Smashing place with a view...

Liked: Great hostess making sure we knew where best to eat prior to arrival (shame we ignored the advice). The bed was extremely comfy and the bedding cosy. Breakfast was a variant of Scottish but with smoked salmon as an additional choice.
Disliked: Nothing I didn't like!
