Since there are very few reviews of this house I was a little concerned that it was not a legitimate listing, but took the chance to book and prepay and we were very pleased.
The 4 bedrooms with 8 twin beds and 5 bathrooms were perfect for our group of 8 golfers. All of the beds were very comfortable and there was always hot water no matter what your shower schedule. The ground floor contains the cozy living room/lounge with just enough room for all of us to sit and talk or watch the lone TV in the house. To me, having only 1 TV is ideal. That means that you can always get away from it if you want. The kitchen is also cozy, with a large table and 8 chairs. It's stocked with more than enough plates, cutlery, glassware, and pots and pans. We cooked dinner in 1 night with no problems. That also then made the dishwasher appreciated. Our golf was enjoyed through 7 days of rain, so the washer/dryer got a lot of use as well. We had two vans, and with a little help from a fellow golfer I was able to gingerly navigate the driveway into the parking area. Our second van was a little larger and that driver chose not to park by the house, but found a free parking lot right across the street. The best part of the house is the location. You can walk anywhere you want in the small town of St. Andrews. The 18th green of the Old Course is less than a 5 minute walk away, and the 3 main streets of St. Andrews are within easy walking distance with the Tesco grocery store about 5 minutes away. Fiona Clark was very easy to communicate with, always returning emails within a few days. I do wish that she would take credit cards, Paypal, or HomeAway payments. I had a hard time with the bank transfer, so I sent personal checks for the deposit and the final payment, still not sure that this was a legitimate listing. After the final payment was processed, Fiona Clark gave me an email address and phone number for Lynne Tait, who manages the property. She also was easy to reach by email and phone. Lynne met us at the property and showed us around, explaining how to use the appliances, etc. She even left a few food items for us to use to get started on our first day in town. Lynne was great to deal with in every regard. As the group organizer for a bunch of friends, you always hope that everyone is happy with your choices. I can guarantee that all 8 of us would book 3 Abbotsford Place again. Bob B., Downers Grove, Illinois
