The Rest was fantastic. I have never been in a holiday rental that was so well equipped. It lacked nothing!! the bed was comfortable and the heating was great. The location was very good - near Morrisons, Aldi and M&S Food but it was a bit of walk into town (30 mins) However the parking in St Andrews is good so that wasn't a problem for us - and there are Taxi's.
