“First Class”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

We stayed in the train carriage which was simply marvellous! A really different twist and the setting was fantastic! The proprietor was helpful and nice with the added benefit that was perfect for if you didn't want to go to the main house for meals. The teeniest, tiniest draw back was the need for a cab to take you to the main part of town. But the expense was so minor, the ambience more than made up for that. We will definitely return! Try the Indian restaurant Maisha for somewhere to eat... Tandoori lobster? Awesome! For traditional haggis, it has to be Mitchells in town.

Room Tip: Stay in one of the railway carriages. Simply stunning!

“Delightful Retreat (RETURN VISIT)”

people found this review helpful

The Old Station compliments the St Andrews area, an easy going and relaxing stop-off. When you have left you say to yourself " Blimey, that was very good ". Things dont get much better.

Room Tip: I,m a bit disabled so I chose the Garden Room, ITS LUSH, This is a RETURN VISIT

“Golfing Group”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

Fantastic place for golfers to make base for St Andrews (short taxi ride) and surrounding courses. Fiona and Colin made our first stay in St Andrews very enjoyable and a place to definately return to. Excellent breakfast covering all items presented at anytime from 8am. Although no bar, taking drinks back is not a problem and if you can play the guitar then get Colin up for Hi Ho Silver Lining in front of the log fire !! There is also a small bunker and chipping area within the grounds. All rooms nice and comfy, each tastefully decorated in a Country type theme (I had the Tartan room) ........ dreaming of a return already.

“First Class”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in The Old Station. The rooms are beautifully decorated and quiet. I particularly loved curling up in front of the big fire in the common area. Fiona and Colin were very welcoming. Next time, I am hoping to stay in one of the converted railway carriage suites which look amazing. First Class.

Room Tip: Go for the Carriage
