Summary: 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.
