Summary: Cowper’s Close was a GEM. Suited our family trip (ages newborn to 70s) perfectly. Charm city but also completely comfortable, and the location could not be better. Wonderful to have multiple living spaces (& even a backyard!) for that many people, and the kitchen was the best-equipped of any rental we’ve done. We hope to be back someday….soon!

Summary: Great property. Awesome location on one of St Andrews two major streets with shops, pubs and restaurants. The Saint pub/restaurant shares a wall with Cowpers. Great food. Get a rez. Emma called to make sure we were settled in comfortably and was very responsive to emails throughout the booking. Thanks Emma! (Sorry I forgot to let you know we we’re leaving early on checkout day. BA changed our flights from Edinburgh to Glasgow and we were scrambling to make them.) The house is well laid out and spacious for 8 people with a nice dining room with a wood burning stove , a sun room on the back with a heater, and a living room with a gas fireplace as well. Lots of room to hang out when it’s break time. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped for our early Christmas dinner. Everything was a 1-10 minute walk from the house. We will definitely be coming back.

Summary: Great location right in town and walkable to everything. So close to west sands beach where in the summer you can view both sunrise (if you are prepared to rise at 3am) and sunset just a few hours later! The house was so comfortable and clean and well equipped and lots of space to relax. And a contained back garden and conservatory to boot. Beautifully old property with a long history. We came for my sons graduation from St Andrews. We are sorry to leave this magical place but we will be back. Thank you for letting us stay in this great property.

Summary: A wonderfully welcoming home in the heart of St Andrews. Our family loved staying at Cowper’s Close while exploring the town, enjoying a round of golf and touring the Highlands. There was plenty of room for our 7 adults to relax, particularly enjoying the conservatory. The beds were very comfortable and had been configured nicely for our couples. If you like traditional home style, books and cozy furnishings, this is a perfect place. As well, there are plenty of coffee shops and good restaurants close by, many providing good options for dietary needs. Our family felt very much at home staying here and would definitely book again.

Summary: I rented this cottage for my daughter and niece, and their fiancees. This cottage was awesome. Large, comfortable, wonderful. The kitchen was plenty big. We had a family farewell dinner there on our last night. Between the patio, the yard, and the dinning room it was perfect. Highly recommend. The two bathrooms for 4 bedrooms was no issue at all.

Summary: Super convenient. We stayed here for a golf trip and found the property to be everything we needed; large enough to easily host more than just the 4 of us and a fantastic location. We didn't use the garage; on the odd occasion when we left the house after 9am we simply popped £1.10 into the meter outside the house via the Ringo app.
