University of St. Andrews

Accommodations for designated 2008 USJT programs will be at New Hall on the campus of the University of St. Andrews. This facility has been personally selected for comfort, safety, and proximity to the golf courses.

St. Andrews is the oldest university in Scotland, and third oldest university in the United Kingdom. Nestled in the city of St. Andrews, the university was founded in 1413 and boasts a lovely and charming setting. Golfers and family members will be housed in New Hall and have access to the entire campus as well as all athletic and leisure facilities. The city square is a mere 5-minute walk with access to shopping, historical attractions, and many ethnic restaurants.

This lovely and practical facility has been our home in Scotland for all programs over the past five years.

St. Andrews Golf Lodge

St. Andrews Golfing Lodge is a rare alternative to the 'hotel experience'. This concept is becoming increasingly popular for the golfers or travelers looking to supplement the golf trip of their lives with luxury and first class accommodations.

This unique lodge is the first property in the St. Andrews area to offer a 5-star exclusive use destination for groups, golfers, friends and families. The lodge can be booked nightly and is perfect for 8, but can easily accommodate up to 12 guests. Each group has the lodge to itself - no strangers, no sharing, and with 3,500 sq. ft. it is extremely spacious. There plenty of off street parking included and this bodes well as St. Andrews was not designed for cars.

This facility exudes quality and extra touches with a Sony 44" television with surround sound, DVD and PlayStation2, digital camera, mobile phones, 3 sets of Ping i3 golf clubs, direct dial telephone with answering machine that accepts credit and calling cards, 4 bathrooms, and all beds have pocket sprung mattresses and Egyptian cotton linen. Also available at no charge is WiFi wireless broadband Internet access - use the lodge's PC or your own wireless laptop.

Each of the 5 bedrooms can be configured for singles, doubles, or twins and 2 of the bedrooms can be triples.

Guests can book on a catered basis that includes breakfast or book non-catering and have full use of the gourmet kitchen. A chef can be arranged for evening dinner or to deliver pre-prepared meals.

I have visited this facility and have had the opportunity to meet the owners who are also the managers. They have included everything imaginable to make your stay a luxurious one. St. Andrews Golfing Lodge exceeds the highest expectations and I have never seen a property like this anywhere in the world!

Queen's Terrace

In the middle of the old town of St Andrews, beautifully decorated and furnished, quiet and relaxing, stands sunny Queen's Terrace, a perfect place to stay if you are visiting to golf or desire a base for exploring the Kingdom of Fife and Central and Eastern Scotland.

The four-story home boasts of a plush and roomy master bedroom with bathroom ensuite. Additionally, one twin and two double guest bedrooms easily accommodate four guests. All rooms have warm, comfortable beds with lots of crisp white linen and large bath towels.

Guests are welcome to use the lovely sitting room, which is always welcoming and bright, and a most wonderful place for a relaxing moment.

Meals are served in the spacious formal dining room. Dining times are always negotiable. Breakfast is always included and prepared in the gourmet kitchen. A cooked or light continental breakfast is available, and there's always fresh fruit salad, teas and fresh coffee. A professional chef is available with advance notice.

This magnificent property is owned and managed by a personal friend. I have stayed as a guest, and have been welcomed back many times for receptions, dinners, and cocktails.

Queen's Terrace is truly a place one does not want to leave as it is comfortable, inviting, and an undiscovered gem of St. Andrews.

This property is absolutely perfect. The owner will take individuals as well as groups.

End House

Whether sightseeing in Fife, playing the St. Andrews Links Courses or cheering at a tournament event, this property is one of the most unique in all of Scotland. It is situated only a few yards from the notorious 17th Road Hole of the Old Course and has a fantastic view of the Old Course and the North Sea.

Positioned on the corner of the world famous St. Andrews Links, your neighbors will be the Tom Morris Golf Shop, and The Royal and Ancient Members Club. Each morning one awakens to the sight of the Swilcan Bridge. This breathless sight and accommodation is truly one of a kind.

The entire apartment is fully furnished. The living room, brightly and beautifully decorated, has a fantastic panoramic view of the Old Course and The North Sea. It features a fireplace; three seat settee, and wide screen television. It is the closest one can get to The Old Course and still be indoors.

The flat has a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom with shower.

The master bedroom offers the same picture postcard view as the living room. Framed in the larger of the two windows is the Swilcan Burn and Bridge, which bisects the first and eighteenth fairways of the Old Course.

In the foreground lies the eighteenth fairway, the Swilcan Burn and Bridge, and the 1st green of the Old Course. In the background lie the 17th green and the Old Course Hotel.

This lovely bedroom features twin beds, wardrobe, chest of drawers, dressing table and washbasin. The two windows give this room a very bright and fresh feel and the view is simply extraordinary.

The second bedroom features twin beds and will comfortably sleep two adults. It includes a large chest of drawers and storage cupboard. The south facing window overlooks Gibson Place and allows plenty of light into this lovely room.

The End House may be the most unique property in St. Andrews to be available to the private sector. As one stands in the sitting room, The Old Course appears like a movie through the large living room windows and it is hard to believe the course sits right outside.

The St. Andrews Shuttle will drop you at any of the Links Courses as well as the Practice Centre. The charming owners live onsite in an adjoining flat, totally separate from guests.

Eden Manor

A lovely new single unit town home in a new and upscale neighborhood with access to St. Andrews City Square via bus, taxi or a short walk.

The area is clean, bright, and invigorating, a pleasant place for a walk or enjoying the fresh scenery.

The interior is modern and tastefully furnished. The living room opens to a private patio with landscaped yard for entertaining or just a place to relax after a day of golf, sightseeing, or shopping.

Modern conveniences allow for self-catering with a full kitchen including microwave oven and dining area. Outdoor meals may be taken on the private patio.

The master bedroom is ensuite and features a queen size bed, closet, bureau and nightstand. The second bedroom features two singles and plenty of closet space along with a chest of drawers for your unpacked items.

Bedroom three is a single and is the perfect opportunity for complete privacy.

All bedrooms have access to an upstairs bathroom with full shower facilities.

Eden Manor is one of the few individual, non-attached homes available in St. Andrews. This property is privately owned and is available for both short and long term rental. An off-site manager keeps the property in top shape.

Impressive, cozy and fun would be my description of this rare find in St. Andrews. I met the owner quite by accident, have become friends, and am quite pleased to be able to offer this beautiful property.

This is an extremely lovely property and the owner is away most of the time. This owner is a personal friend and may make concessions.
