The shared kitchen was clean and had everything i needed. my room had a tv. I could even log into my own netflix account. the shared bathroom was also very clean, i appreciated that.

Balanced stay near the road

helpful advice great welcome street noise wet bathroom
The staff gave us a great welcome. They gave very helpful advice for the surrounding area. The location is fantastic if you are interested in the golf at St Andrews (it's a 10-minute drive).
The window in our room did not close properly. This let in too much noise from the street. The shared bathroom became very wet with use (though it was clean to start the day).
