This lovely B&B is a great place to stay at when visiting the home of Golf! Less then 10-15 min walking you have Old- New- Jubilee and Eden Course. Perfectly situated with nice rooms and very close to 19th hole!

This was quite simply one of the best bed and breakfast places I have ever stayed in. The room was bright and cheerful, beautifully presented and very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable with an excellent shower. An outstandingly good breakfast. Very friendly and helpful hosts, for whom nothing was too much terrible. Worth going to St Andrews just to... More

As a group of 12 golfers, we have been coming to St Andrews for the past 5 years, one of the main reasons we come back year after year, is Lorimer House.

Have been all over Scotland, and mostly stay in guest houses, and Lorimer House has always been my favorite one that I keep coming back to. The accommodations are updated and modern, and roomy, save one shower, but then again I'm larger than a normal Scot! The hosts, Christine and Michael are always hospitable and serve a terrific Full Scottish... More

Great B&B with very well appointed room and terrific breakfast. The hosts, Mick & Chris were a great help with our golf bookings and local travel arrangements as well. Could not do enough for us. Close to everything and only a 5 minute walk to the 1st tee at The Old Course! We'll come here again!!!

Stayed here recently for a relaxing break. Michael and Christine were absolutely lovely and extremely helpful ... made us feel at home straightaway. Pleasant and clean accommodation with good breakfast. Marvellous location for going up and down the coast and to Edinburgh. When we visit Scotland again we will certainly be booking in here.

Had a wonderful time at Lorimer house. We spent two enjoyable nights. Had a stroll along the beach, potteredaround the town and did a bit of shopping, including a kilt for my daughter. Great location in the heart of st Andrews, lovely accommodation, fab breakfast, good company. Beats a hotel every time.

Friendly, flexible guest house. Generous hosts and very comfortable room. Breakfast each day was hot, fresh and very generous. Will definitely stay again. I was there for golf and requested an early breakfast each day - the proprietors were most accommodating.

The Lorimer House is a great place to stay in St. Andrews. It's located about 400 yards from the first tee at the Old Course. Chris and Mick are wonderful hosts and very helpful in recommending restaurants and places to see around St. Andrews. The rooms are bright and clean and breakfast is everything you could ever want to eat.... More

I wasn't going to review my last stay (September this year) until I stumbled upon the extremely negative reviews by 2 who appear to have their agenda to slate this place. The review by one of my fellow guests, Ian Whyte, was sufficient so I didn't bother. I stayed here again at the end of September 2012. As per before,... More
