About the surrounding area of St Andrews Round HouseSt Andrews Round House is located just outside of St Andrews, the golfing capital of Scotland in the small hamlet of Peat Inn. Guests can enjoy a delicious gastronomic delight at The Peat Inn, the hamlet’s famous Michelin starred restaurant.
St Andrews is extremely popular for its landscaped, prestigious golf courses but also offers excellent shopping, some wonderful art galleries, interesting museums and spectacular golden beaches. Visitors enjoy fine dining in the atmospheric restaurants as well as delicious ice creams from the local ice cream parlours. There are many exciting and interesting attractions from St Andrews Cathedral and St Andrews Castle to Scotland’s Secret Bunker. The remains of St Andrews Cathedral are a must-see for any visitor. It was once the largest church in Scotland and the museum is home to a fantastic collection of medieval sculptures and relics which were found on the site. For amazing views across St Andrews and Fife, visitors can climb St Rule’s Tower which dates from the 12th century. St Andrews Castle enjoys a history spanning 450 years. It has been a bishop’s palace, a fortress and a state prison.
The Old Course is the golfing location which every golfer aspires to visit. It is one of the most famous golf courses in the world and visitors can join an expert guide to walk around the 1st, 17th and 18th holes, walking in the footsteps of golfing legends and experiencing a player’s eye view.

Visitors can follow in the footsteps of pilgrims who flocked to Fife between the 11th and 16th centuries to be near to the bones of St Andrew, one of Jesus’ disciples. It was considered to be the next best thing to the Holy Land, joining ranks with the Santiago de Compostela and Rome.
Dundee is only half an hour from St Andrews Round House.

Would highly recommend and definitely will be back again
A group of 20 of us booked both the St Andrew’s Round House and Lodge for a weekend away and it was brilliant. The houses are so luxurious and comfortable and has everything you need there. The communication from start to finish of booking was great and very professional. Such a relaxing weekend away and great value for money. Would highly recommend and definitely will be back again. Thank you

Can't fault this place
Second trip to this estate and still as good as it was 5 years ago. The standard of the accommodation is second to none. Everything we needed and more. The outside playing area is fantastic and would have been used more if the weather had been kinder. Lots of golf courses near by and places of interest only 15 minutes drive in all directions. 8 of us and our dog loved every second of our short break. The hosts are so kind and welcoming, and with them living next door they were always available to help us. Can't fault this place and hope one day I will be able to return again as there are a lot of plans to add even more facilities.

Absolutely perfect
Great service and beautiful holiday rental

Excellent stay!
This was a long awaited holiday held over because of Covid. It was a family holiday including 5 adults and 5 grandchildren. The facilities were excellent. Driving range, putting area and Spa/Hot tub were well used by all. Excellent Barbeque with fuel provided for our first and as it happened, only BBQ. Kitchen was very well equipped and was where we all sat for our evening meal. The team were very helpful although we were able to sort ourselves out easily with the the instructions available. Definitely a five star rating and hope one day to return. Maybe for my next big birthday!!

We had an amazing weekend!
Having had a recommendation, we booked St Andrews Round House for a family/friends stay to celebrate our 60th birthdays and retirement. We had an amazing weekend! Lots of board games, laughs, golf on the short course, relaxing in the hydro spa along stunning accommodation. Plenty space with 5 luxurious en-suite bedrooms, fabulous kitchen with top of the range appliances, and fantastic living space with two areas to sit and share time together. The whole place is stunning… even had alpacas and woodpeckers pay us a visit. We were so lucky with the weather too.

Great Stay

A joint birthday to remember
Booked for a weekend joint birthday celebrations and a wonderful stay from beginning to end. We enjoyed a delicious dinner in on the Friday evening at the beautiful dining table followed by an evening dip in the hydro spa.
After our refreshing cold dip from the beach in St Andrews it was back to St Andrews Round House to get ready for our lunch out. John kindly drove us door to door service for our lunch and transfer back followed by a more relaxing Saturday evening in the upper floor lounge.
This property was absolutely spotless, you would think we were the first ever guests.
Beautiful and highly recommend to all. -
