We stayed for a long weekend and can't imagine how it could have been better. This is just a perfect b&b. Great location with stunning sea views. Top notch breakfasts (try the pancakes with maple syrup all the way from Michigan!). A beautiful house full of charm and character. And to cap it all, jerry and Lynda-Anne - our welcoming hosts for whom nothing was too much trouble.
We will definitely be returning and would thoroughly recommend.

This B&B is conveniently located near the old town, it has a terrific view of the ocean past castle ruins and within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants in town. Although somewhat cramped inside, Castlemount has a relaxing antique kind of charm to it. The rooms are somewhat small but the bed is comfortable, the bathrooms are modern and above all the place is clean. The breakfasts in the morning are very good and considering breakfast and room this is a good value. As with any older B&B what you gain in charm and old world elegance you must endure the chore of hauling luggage up a winding staircase. There is no elevator here. All in all a good value and worth a look if going to St. Andrews.

I have just returned from a thoroughly delightful long weekend stay at Castlemount and have nothing but praise for every aspect of the house itself and the warm and friendly hospitality shown by the charming owners. Castlemount proved to be a real discovery. It must occupy one of the finest positions in St.Andrews, directly opposite the castle and coast, and yet only a few minutes walk to the town centre with its interesting independent shops, theatre, concert hall , and university buildings. It is very well appointed and furnished with a great sense of style. My own room on the first floor had splendid castle and coastal views, and this was only bettered by the superb extensive views from the top floor dining room where delicious breakfasts were served.. Wonderful fresh fruit salads, yoghurts etc. followed by a wide and delicious range of cooked dishes and toast and home made jam or marmalade (with whisky!) ensured no one left the table feeling hungry! I would thoroughly recommend Castlemount as an ideal base to stay in St.Andrews.

Stayed here about 2 years ago in May 2009 with my fiance at the time and it was great, We stayed in the room on the first floor with the old castle ruins across the street with a very comfortable bed and a nice room The breakfast was also very good with some binoculars available at the windowside to look out at the sea/town, etc from the second floor where it is served. My fiance (now wife) loved it

Additionally for great sticky toffee pudding I recommend the Glass House which was a few blocks away in town.
