I wanted somewhere that was reasonably priced for a visit to St Andrews University. I mainly picked this B&B as it was cheaper than others in the town and hadn't read any of the other reviews. My daughter and I were very pleased with my choice. We had a downstairs twin room with ensuite shower, a small kitchenette with a... More

Bill and Ann were great hosts in this convenient B&B. The rooms are very clean, though basic "homey" feeling...we had a little sitting room with a TV and wifi which was relaxing after a day of driving. Breakfast was excellent. This is great value for the money in St. Andrews and we would return! More

The location of this B & B is great, not far at all from the town centre and easy to find. Bill and Ann were both very welcoming to us and our nine month old daughter. We stayed in a double room which also had a kitchenette, small sunroom and ensuite (it looked like perhaps it was a self contained... More

My son and I stayed here two nights, and our hostess could not have been more wonderful. Tidy, clean and well lit rooms, good sized bathroom, and wonderfuo breakfast. My son was worn out from the trip, and our hosts could nto have been more caring and accomodating. Room was large and very pleasant. More

We stayed here for one night whilst on a driving holiday through Scotland in August 2007. I have fond memories of the warm welcome, and of Ann's fantastic breakfast. St Nicholas is exactly how a B&B should be: homely, welcoming, excellent value and very comfortable. More

I was shocked at how much many places in St Andrews cost when I was looking and this place was on £30pppn for B&B, so as it was 1 night, we booked. The location is about a 10 mins walk to the harbour and 15 mins to the main town, so handy and it is just behind the beach. We... More

As soon as we arrived at the B & B, we were immediately greeted by the lovely owners, Ann and Bill. We were given an enjoyable tour, with some helpful demonstrations of how things worked, like the door. They were amazingly friendly and helped us in every way to suit our personal needs: we were able to extend our stay... More

The Californians, being on their honeymoon, were obviously blinded by love! The entrance appears to be the back door of the farm house so we were conducted past a row of hooks draped with coats and through a dim corridor and staircase where the lights are controlled by motion sensors. This is not satisfactorily safe as you have to descend... More
