“Fantastic- highly recommend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

I recently visited the University of St. Andrews for postgraduate studies and traveled to St. Andrews alone where I stayed in the Montague Guest House on the quaint (and ideally located) Murray Park. I was greeted by Gillian who owns the guest house with her husband Andrew, a professionally trained chef. In conversing with Gillian I came to find out that Andrew is originally from St. Andrews, coming from a lineage of fishermen- needless to say, the food was fantastic (local smoked salmon omelette with aged cheddar, to give you an idea). I have traveled a bit and have come to expect just about anything: small rooms, tiny bathrooms, you name it. The Montague House is one of the most charming and CLEAN places I have ever stayed. Gillian and Andrew have gone out of their way to keep the traditional character of each room (Gillian was nice enough to show me a few of the 8 rooms) while subtly upgrading things like light fixtures, heat racks, and water faucets. In short, let me put it this way- should I be moving to St. Andrews in the near future, my family and friends will be staying at the Montague House when they come to visit!

Room Tip: All rooms are classic with upgraded fixtures (i.e. bright lighting, heating racks, shower and sink f...

“Great Location-Great Breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

Located on Murray Park Road which is lined with B&B's. The Montague was very well decorated and furnished and was exceptionally clean. The room was cozy and had everthing one could need. There was a wide variety of choices for breakfast and the omelette and french toast can be vouched for. Best of all the Montague was a short walk to a number restaurants and shops on Market Street. And St. Andrews is small enough you can walk the Old and New Courses and St. Andrews, the castle, and the Medieval church ruins.

Room Tip: Room 4 is cozy and comfortable although not terribly big. Just big enough though.

“Have the omelette!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

What a great find! The room was big, gorgeous, and, as was the rest of the establishment, impeccably clean. It is always interesting to see how Guest House and B and B operators balance the ideas of personal hospitality and professional service. Andrew and Gillie, the proprietors, have got it just right. Friendly and warm, they responded to our endless questions about area attractions with humor and helpfulness. But the housekeeping and breakfast service was as tip-top as any five-star hotel. There was a very nice public room where one could lounge on a rainy day, with a fridge to hold drinks and leftovers. As Americans, we really appreciated the ice machine. The reason we reference the omelette in our headline is that Andrew, who cooks all the breakfasts to order, is an award-winning chef. There is a wide range of breakfast choices, included a Scottish breakfast. The man can make haggis taste good! We booked the Montague House solely from a website, and we really lucked out. Will we be back? YES!

Room Tip: We didn't see any of the other rooms--we just picked ours from the website so we assume our big...
