“Great one night stay thank you Steve and Karen”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011

Hi just wanted to say a big thank you to Steve and Karen. Visited St Andrews for the University open day and stayed overnight at The Bramley Guest House. From the booking Steve was very helpful as we didn't know what time we had to be at the Uni so he gave us advice. Had the family room downstairs which worked well, got great nights sleep, it was silent after about 10pm and really cosy. Breakfast was delicious and set us up for the day, we walked miles around St Andrews on the tour of the town and University. Hopefully fingers crossed we will be regulars at The Bramley in the future.

“Great Place, Great People”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011

We arrived for one night only on the 15th of September 2011. We wanted to take our friends from Canada to visit St Andrews and found this place on the net. I must say we were not disapointed! We were first greated by Stephen who is the proprietor with his wife Karen. He was very friendly and made you feel welcome. Both rooms were excellent, very spacious, clean and confortable. All rooms have ensuite, and these were very modern and clean as well.
What originally attracted us to the Bramley Guest House was that it was dog-friendly. So we brought our Black Lab Buster to stay with us. Both Karen and Stephen were very accommodating of Buster and even took him for a walk with their Dog Teddy when we were in St Andrews for dinner. Buster had a great time!
The breakfast was great with a good selection of hot and cold food. The service was good as well.
As you can see, we cannot say enough positive things about this place. We will be back for sure. And thank you to both Stephen and Karen (and the rest of the family) for your kind hospitality.
Q + K (and Buster)

“A Gem in St. Andrews”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

One of the joys of staying at B&B's is the interaction with guests and owners, and I can state unequivocally, that Steven and Karen are two of the nicest folks you'll ever run into.

We had the pleasure of staying at Bramley Guest House for three nights in early August with our 16 and 14 year old children. In the midst of all the craziness of running a B&B, somehow Steven and Karen found the time to feed us with the world's best omelettes, told some amazing stories about the St. Andrews area, and provided great travel tips, like being sure to attend the Pittenweem Arts Festival. They even helped ship a large photo picture to us that we'd purchase at the festival.

I can truly say that Steven and Karen make their B&B feel warm, comfortable, and a true home with their unparalleled hospitality. We enjoyed a great drink together up at the local pub, and had some great laughs about sports, and golf in particular. In his spare time, Steven does the occasional caddy loop on the Old Course, so he's got a great number of stories. Karen also works at the University of St. Andrews, and she can fill you in on that wonderful institution and the history of the area.

The B&B is only 3km from St. Andrews, and we actually preferred not staying in town as it can be a bit noisy and crowded with tourists. Strathkinness is a short hop from town, and set in some of the loveliest countryside one can find....great farms, and terrific views to the North Sea, and even the distant roof tops of St. Andrews.

Staying at Bramley House comes with our strongest recommendation...you'll love the breakfasts, and you'll sincerely appreciate two of the nicest folks in the world....Steven & Karen....you and your family are welcome in our house in Seattle anytime.

“Best B&B for St. Andrews”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011

Excellent place to stay if visiting St. Andrews. We had three nights in August with our two children aged 4 & 9 and absolutely loved it. Steve & Karen are charming hosts who couldn't do enough for us (including leaving toys for the kids to play with) & were able to point us in the right direction for places to go & see (the strawberry farm is a must - the views of St. Andrews are amazing). The breakfasts were excellent & the kids loved the garden, chickens & of course, Teddy. Highly recommended!

“Great family room, close to St Andrews!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011

We stayed at Bramley Guest House for two nights with our two teenaged boys. The room was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The mini fridge in the room was a plus. Breakfast was great and the boys enjoyed the pancakes. Steve and his family were great hosts, very welcoming and very helpful. The guest house is within walking distance of the Strathkinness Tavern, where we had great dinners both nights!
