A lovely welcome from Elaine and her husband at this lovely guest house no more than 5 minutes walk from the town or the golf courses.Clean comfortable and good showers with a good breakfast at a time to suit. Finding somewhere with 4 twin rooms was excellent and parking nearby. Will be back.

We were there to see our daughter who is at the university... More

Spent one night at this fantastic guest house when meeting with my former classmates for a reunion. Definitely THE place to stay if you are looking for a low-key accommodation with excellent rooms and service. Thank you, Elaine!

The room was big, clean with an excellent shower and good quality freeview TV. There was a nice hospitality tray with cookies, tea coffee etc too. It's a good 'solid' old house so the chance... More

We loved our stay at Kinburn Guest House. Elaine and Derek were amazing, the food was exquisite, the room was huge and comfy, everything was spotless and the location was perfect. We walked all over St. Andrews and enjoyed the sites and sounds of the town. We will definitely return.

Loved staying at the Kinburn. Located on a quiet street near the St. Andrews Museum and just a few minutes walk away from the gofl course and shops. Elaine was a great hostess, provided full breakfasts, and helped set up our dinner reservations.
