Places to stay in St Andrews

Immerse yourself in the rich history of St Andrews by choosing accommodation right within the historic town centre. You can stay right next to the iconic landmarks such as St Andrews Cathedral and Castle, where you can explore centuries-old architecture and wander through picturesque gardens.

This also puts you just a short distance from the golf club. A lot of people look for last minute hotels in St Andrews because the Old Course ballot takes place 48 hours before tee times – you might only find out you’re able to get a time just a couple of days before you then need to travel.

For those seeking a tranquil escape, consider lodging along the stunning coastline, where charming bed and breakfasts offer breathtaking views of the North Sea.

Alternatively, venture into the surrounding countryside to discover quaint villages like Crail and Kingsbarns, where cosy cottages provide an option for a peaceful retreat amidst rolling hills and verdant landscapes.

To be clear, St Andrews is hardly party-central, and town centre hotels are relatively quiet. But crowds do ramp up around major golf tournaments, so booking accommodation a little further out (especially for more spontaneous trips) might be necessary.

Insider Tips for St Andrews

• Explore the town's cobbled streets early in the morning to experience its historic charm without the crowds. You'll have the enchanting sights of landmarks like St Andrews Cathedral and Castle all to yourself.
• The famous Old Course is a public one, which means anyone can play it – provided you have a handicap with a maximum of 36. Getting a tee time can be tricky, so look for St Andrews hotel deals in winter (November to April) for a better chance – though the course will be even more difficult with the weather conditions!
• Venture off the beaten path to discover hidden gems like the Secret Bunker or picturesque coastal walks along the Fife Coastal Path. These lesser-known attractions provide unique insights into St Andrews' history and natural beauty.
