St Andrews is one of Scotland's most beautiful and distinctive towns, the home of golf, a medieval cathedral ruin, a world-class university and two stunning beaches. It's a genuinely unique hen party destination with a compact, walkable centre and excellent large houses available for group hire. Our mixologists cover St Andrews and the wider Fife area.
St Andrews punches far above its weight for a town of its size. The medieval Cathedral ruins and castle sit dramatically on the cliffs above the sea. The Old Course, the most famous golf course in the world, runs along the West Sands beach. The university (founded 1413, Scotland's oldest) gives the town a youthful energy and the streets of North Street, South Street and Market Street are full of excellent independent cafés, restaurants and shops. The East Neuk fishing villages of Anstruther, Crail and Elie are within 20 minutes and well worth a day trip.
