Duck's Crossing is an excellent, cosy guesthouse with a great location. Monica is a wonderful hostess and highly hospitable. The breakfasts were superb and kept me going all day. I especially enjoyed the duck eggs and vegetarian haggis. I was very comfortable and had everything I needed. I will definitely be staying here again if I am ever back in St Andrews.

The situation is just ideal; walking distance from the town centre but quiet at night. The house is lovely, full of interesting curios with charming touches' and a nice terrace to use in the sunshine. Our bedroom was very comfortable,nice biscuits, decent tea, guest fridge so fresh milk and orange juice, lots of towels, a basic TV (3 channels but who cares when you are in such a lovely city). The hostess, Monica, was really helpful, recommending places to visit and eat and giving us a glass of wine when we looked as if we needed one. Breakfast was wonderful, fresh fruit salad, organic yoghurt, fab bread, homemade marmalade, lots of choice and all nice, even the mushrooms and tomatoes which are the downfall of many a B and B. All in all, spot on!

For a short visit, perhaps like us to sample the delights of the Old Course and some other links courses in the neighbourhood, this small B & B ticks all of the necessary boxes.
It's comfortable, Monica is a congenial and chatty hostess, the location is excellent (central but quiet), and the breakfasts were well prepared and varied - smoked salmon and scrambled duck eggs, haggis, and black pudding all made an appearance alongside the usual suspects.

Well-appointed cosy rooms, though if you happen to want wall-to-wall cable TV you are pretty much out of luck. WiFi is available. The living room is strewn with interesting antiques and odd objects - you may get quizzed as to what purpose they once served. Pretty garden and deck for summer visitors. Parking available on the street (c. 50 yards away on the other side of a stream occupied by the ducks of the name).

One big plus is that Monica seems to know everyone in the local restaurant trade and is only too happy to supply cards that get you a warm welcome and a free bottle of house white or red at several eateries in town. The places she directed us to were uniformly pleasant.

Can't think of any minuses off hand - if you are allergic to dogs there is one in the house, but Tinker appears to be a well-adjusted and friendly hound.

Recommended.

Staying with Monica, even for the first time, was like staying with a long-term friend. Her friendly, welcoming nature puts a guest so at ease in her house, making one feel special. The other guests were fantastic also, ensuring breakfasts and meals together were sublime. Rooms are excellent, food exquisite and location perfect.
