Our overnight stay at this B & B was really comfortable, I loved the room which had a separate television, seating area and a little kitchenette. I would have been happy to stay longer. The breakfast was lovely with a lot of personal touches, like the fresh berries, the chocolate on the side plate and a great selection of lovely... More

Excellent accommodation in St Andrews. Just outside the main town on the beach front, wonderful hosts Bill and Anne looked after us very well. Spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, excellent breakfast and very helpful advice on what to do, where to eat and what to see. Booked us our tee times for golf and ensured we enjoyed everything about St Andrews.... More

This B & B is located right at the beach, with a great walking trail along the coast and to the Cathedral & Castle ruins. St Andrews is a very small town and very walkable to everything. The hosts are Anne and Bill who are extremely nice. Bill booked a tee time for my husband at one of the Fairmont... More

Unfortunately we only stayed one night at St. Nicholas Farmhouse. We were greeted by Bill who wasn't at all grumpy. He was friendly, helpful and full of advice about places to eat in the town. Our room was a self-contained flat - bedroom, kitchen, en-suite, conservatory with tv and dvd. The house is in a great location near the beach... More

My wife and I stayed here for 1 night while travelling through Scotland. We arrived at St. Nicholas Farmhouse around 6.00 pm and were greeted by Bill the elderly owner grumpily telling us we were late. We had phoned ahead earlier in the day from Berwick Upon Tweed and told him we would be arriving some time after 4.30 pm.... More

St. Andrews is such a lovely place to stay. St. Nicholas Farmhouse is a great place to stay. We had a big comfy room, breakfast was great, and its only two minutes to the East Sands beach and within walking distance to the city centre. Our hosts were very friendly and gave us some really good advice about where to... More

We stayed at the BnB for 3 nights for a friends wedding in St Andrews. The accommodation was great - we had a spacious room with kitchenette and tv room all to ourselves. The breakfast was great and Bill and Ann were brilliant hosts. The house is just behind East Sands beach which does mean that it is a 20min... More

Stayed in the B&B for one night. Friendly welcome from the hosts. Car parking a bit tight for a larger vehicle. Room was comfy but tired looking and in need of a bit of a clean. Breakfast was an egg plus buffet bacon, sausage, mushrooms and tomato. Plus, of course, there was a cereal selection. Price was on the cheaper... More

Our latest in a number of stays at St Nicholas was very enjoyable as usual - lovely bright, clean en-suite room with a very comfy bed and super breakfasts in the mornings. Bill and Ann are great hosts and make the famhouse a real home from home. Looking forward to our next visit already.
