About 1 Murray Park
Formerly run as Burness House, this Victorian townhouse on Murray Park now operates as a whole-house self-catering let. There are six bedrooms and six bathrooms across the building, sleeping up to twelve, which makes it an obvious choice for a golf group, an extended family or a small wedding party who would otherwise be splitting across several hotels.
The position is excellent. Murray Park runs between North Street and The Scores, so the Old Course is a few minutes' walk in one direction and the cathedral ruins the same in the other, with the pubs and restaurants of the centre in between. For a group that intends to walk everywhere and cook some of its own meals, the arithmetic works out well against booking six hotel rooms.
The house retains its period proportions, with generous reception rooms on the lower floors and bedrooms above, and a kitchen sized for a full house rather than a couple. Bookings are taken well in advance, up to a couple of years ahead for peak golf dates, and the owners encourage direct contact rather than third-party sites. Anyone wanting the flexibility of self-catering without giving up a central St Andrews address should look here first.
