Chris and Mick went out of their way to make our stay as pleasent as possible. They were more than willing to give us their advice on what to do and how to do it and then encourage us to do even more than we had thought to do. Mick's insights into the Links Trust were informative. The breakfast was everytning it was porported to be and then some. Chris even said she would go to Tesco and get some hagis if we really wanted some...we declined. Chris and her daughter even sang me happy birthday to the toon of a candal from Tesco. The rooms were excellent and the hospitality was superb. If we are able to do this again, we will definately try to stay at the Lorimer house.

Without going into expansive details, I will only describe some of the issues we noticed:
Worn, soiled linens; lack of a phone on the property, was told "you could find one up at the street corner"; different tariffs charged to different guests; owners seemed to be glad to get our money, but not super friendly, almost like we had interrupted a family fued and we were being tolerated. It is convienient to town and to the golf courses, castle ruins, etc. restaurants.etc. but I would recommend other B&B's in the area such as the Annandale House, Glendarran House, Brownlee's. I agree with the previous reviewer, the owners were dour and brusque.

Pick another place.

Was very impressed at the standard. The room was nice, bathroom lovely and breakfast excellent.

But was knocking on our door at 10.02 (check out time 10,00) and telling us to hurry up really necessary?

Tourists are humans too!

The Lorimer guest house in St. Andrews is a wonderful place to stay. Mick & Chris are friendly, professional and knowledgable hosts. Their advice from everything to pubs, dining and golf in the area was right on. Our room was clean, and while not the largest, was more than adequate. The location is terrific for golf at St. Andrews; just a few minutes walk to the first tee on the Old Course. Also convenient to cafes, pubs and St. Andrews University. Breakfast was delicious, especially the pancakes. I highly recommend Lorimer House and will stay there my next trip to St. Andrews.
