About Lorimer House
Lorimer House is a Victorian townhouse guest house a few streets back from the seafront, in the quiet run of terraces between the town centre and the golf courses. The walk to the first tee is around five minutes and to Market Street a little less, which makes it one of the better-placed small properties in St Andrews for anyone travelling without a car.
The house has been carefully done up, with high ceilings, original cornice work and bay windows in the front rooms, and the bedrooms are individually furnished rather than done to a template. It is a small operation, so rooms go quickly in summer and during golf weeks, and the owners recommend contacting them directly if the online calendar shows nothing available.
Breakfast is the part guests write home about, cooked to order with local produce and served in the ground-floor dining room. The owners know the town well and are a reliable source of advice on tee times, restaurant bookings and where to walk, which is the sort of thing a larger hotel rarely manages. Street parking is available nearby, considerably easier here than on The Scores.
What guests say
Lorimer House was the perfect accommodation for our St. Andrews visit. Location cannot be beat, Scott and his team were very friendly, helpful, and responsive, and their breakfast was the perfect start to any day. The rooms were clean, warm, and provided everything we needed. I’d absolutely stay at Lorimer again for our next Scotland trip.

Very close to eighteenth green on the old course. Owner and staff are incredible. Wonderful experience. Even helped with laundry after a seagull bombed me.

A beautiful bed & breakfast in St. Andrews, Scotland. Great rooms, and great service from our host. Less than two blocks from the Old Course, and close to all local restaurants and services. We really enjoyed our time here.

My family had the pleasure of staying at Lorimer House in October 2024. We had never been to Scotland before so it was all new. What a wonderful experience! Scott was a great host and the B&B was perfect. Felt authentic and was only about 100 yards to the 18th green on the Old Course. If you are considering staying at Lorimer House, do it! You won’t regret it.
