Located 1.5 miles from the town of St Andrews, Scooniehill Farmhouse is a farmhouse with a large garden, offering panoramic views of the Scottish countryside. It offers cooked breakfasts, free parking and free WiFi.

The place was beautifully decorated with attention to details. Lovely tea selection in the room, washcloths and makeup washcloths, warm and inviting. Delicious breakfast in a beautiful breakfast room and proprietors were so kind and helpful! We LOVED it and only wished we could have spent more time there!

We had a fantastic stay at this beautifully decorated house. We really appreciated that Garry the host had put the heating on, that the place smelt heavenly with scented diffusers in the different rooms, and that he had provided complementary drinks for our arrival. What more could you ask for. The house has everything you need and was so cosy. This was the absolute perfect spot for our golfing trip. It was located very close to the town and golf courses and there were supermarkets just around the corner from the house. The area itself was nice and quiet. Garry, the host was always available to answer any questions. I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s a little gem. A really great find.

    Easy to walk into the town and parks. Very well lite up at night. within easy walking distance of my family. East and west sand both easily accessible on foot. Good bus service to Dundee. had a good walk along the brae with family and children collecting conkers. The walls in the flat have a host of very interesting photo's of the old St Andrews. Lots of reading material, and plenty of fun games for any children that stay.

    Positives - peaceful and pretty in woodland setting but only a 5-10 min drive to the centre. - Very clean and nice additional touches like hotel towels, toiletries wash machine tabs etc - New comfy beds/ bedroom carpets. - Functional kitchen with plenty of cupboard contents. - Ample parking and lovely garden area ( although not secure for dog or small children on their own), but exciting to explore.

    Breakfast was very good. The staff were attentive and very polite. The bathrobes and towels were fluffy. The gym was fantastically equipped and a a nice space overall. Despite a lot of families with small children staying in the hotel, our corridor was very quiet. The view from our room was spectacular. We came for peace and quiet in pleasant surroundings and we definitely got our wish.

    We had a family suite in the cottage outside so more space than I would usually get for us (myself and my two daughters) as I booked it quite last minute and a three persons room was sold out. The suite felt a bit outdated but had everything in it that we needed so didn't bother us. Everything was clean and comfortable I LOVED the garden and had the most peaceful moment after breakfast with a book on a bench. The chickens fun for children to see and I love the commitment of the hotel to good soil, organic produce and sustainability.
