Triskele Lodge 54

Triskele Lodge 54 works well for couples or families wanting to be near St Andrews without staying in town. The entire property is yours—two bedrooms (a kingsize and a twin), two bathrooms, and an open-plan living and dining space on the ground floor, which opens onto an enclosed decking area. A private hot tub sits there, overlooking the grounds. One dog is welcome. Electricity, heating, wifi, bed linen and towels are included, and there is parking for two cars.

The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking proper meals. The lodge sits within landscaped grounds with woodland walks nearby, but St Andrews town centre is a five-minute drive away—far enough to feel remote, close enough for shops, restaurants and the cathedral. The town has a long sandy beach and regular seal sightings. Golf, of course, is central to St Andrews, but there is also Mellis Cheese and countless period streets to wander. No smoking inside.
