St Andrews Convience & Comfort

Great cottage hosted 6 adults for daughters graduation week from UStA. Ideally located to walk into town and for jumping off to explore other parts of Scotland. Spent most evenings in the great front living room. Great kitchen for making French press coffee every morning. Parking directly in front of house on Largo was super convenient. Walking distance to M&S and short 5 min drive to Morrisons.
