Three bedroom house close to town centre and beaches in St Andrews.
Our home is in the beautiful town of St Andrews, which has world-class golf courses and is home to Scotland's oldest university. Our home is within walking distance of the town's harbour, two beautiful beaches, and its town centre.
By downloading the free Medieval St Andrews App, you can explore the town's rich history on foot, including the Castle and Cathedral to name but two. St Andrews has a good variety of tourist attractions including, a botanical garden, museums, and parks, along with the local Byre Theatre, and Cinema.
There are lots of lovely places to eat and drink and the town center hosts a variety of shops. North-east Fife is very picturesque and there are beautiful fishing villages along its coast. Just outside St Andrews, with good bus links, is Leuchars Train Station. By train or bus, you could explore Scotland's Capital, Edinburgh (approximately 1 hour train journey, with free Museums) along with many more interesting destinations. Dundee City is approximately 15 miles north of St Andrews and hosts many tourist attractions.
St Andrews is a safe, lovely town with lots to offer.

US1017820This was my first exchange and what a wonderful experience it was. Jackie was easy to communicate with and I loved staying in their house. St. Andrews truly is a gem in a beautiful pocket of the world. Jackie and her family treated my home as if it was their own. Thank you.
