    Very well-maintained and great location! The host accommodated our request to enter early once they had cleaned and performed their inspection after the previous guest departed. They also welcomed us with a box of shortbread and a bottle of Prosecco. We really enjoyed our stay, and we would definitely stay again if we return to St. Andrews.

    Short Stay is now my first search when we need a place to stay in St Andrews. Compared to other property owners, your properties are always a little nicer, newer, and better than the pictures. The little touches also show you care about our experience. Thanks again.
