Besides the wonderful location and accomodations, what made this trip even more special were Trevor and Jacqui. They both were so welcoming and made sure we were well looked after. The breakfast and conversation was a great start to each day. Trevor was quick to pick up the phone and assist with tee time bookings as well as help with... More

We stayed here as part of our Scotland vacation/late honeymoon for two nights. This guesthouse is within a 5 minute walk to The Old Course, as well as many great restaurants. Trevor was incredibly helpful in assisting me increase my chances on getting on The Old Course (which I did). He's very entertaining and can share many great local stories.... More

Very nice guesthouse; well located if you're playing golf at St-Andrew's Links; the owners are very welcoming and helpful (in restaurant reservation in particular).

We spent a week at Brownlees which is a minute away from the view of the sea and the famous (Chariots of fire) West Sands. The weather was exceptionally bad for the time of year but the accommodation was so comfortable and peaceful that it was a pleasure to stay indoors. Great hosts, excellent breakfast and ideally situated for shopping... More

great location very central in St. Andrews. Room (single) was cozy and sufficient. Trevor and Jacqueline are excellent hosts, full of information and helpful tips (like a printout of the ballot for the Old Course the next day). Breakfast is excellent and is also filling. Good value, comfortable, excellent location!

My husband and I spent six nights at Brownlees and loved every minute of it. Our room was lovely (spacious and comfortable); the food was excellent and plentiful, and our hosts were friendly and helpful. The location is perfect - whether golfing, shopping or looking for a place to accommodate runs on the beach. We couldn't have asked for more.... More

Just back from a 3 night stay at this B&B to attend a hogmanay wedding. We had booked to stay next door at the Charlesworth but they sold their property and proposed Brownlees...and we certainly can't complain about the change. The room was tastefully decorated and very comfortable, with a massive double bed and spotlessly clean everywhere. Tea & coffee... More

Staying at Brownlees was the best experience in B&Bs in St. Andrews. Jaqueline and Trevor are extraordinary hosts, providing us not only with great breakfast and great recommendations where to go for food and drinks or which course to play, but simply made us feel at home. After staying the originally planned two nights, we decided to prolong our stay... More

I am sorry that you did not enjoy your stay. The rooms have to be vacated by 1000am to enable us to prepare them for the next guests. Check in is from 1200 onwards therefore, when you returned to collect your baggage which we had kindly let you leave until 1300, the rooms had already been serviced and occupied by... More
