Loved St Andrews, and the golf of course, Loved the Fife coast, and loved our accommodation - 'Burnside'. Had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay, and was ideally located to explore the area. Our only gripe, using the postcode for the property my car GPS took us to the wrong road !! We soon found the correct place by using Google Maps to take us from the location the SatNav took us to. Don't know if it is the postcode or my car SatNav that had a problem.Other than that we had a great time.

Very comfortable modern house with good facilities. One minor quibble was the instructions for the disposal of waste were contradictory. I hope we disposed waste to the right bins!
