St Andrews is home to the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and the famous Old Course. Its amenities include Scotland's oldest university, founded in 1413, beautiful award winning beaches, historic buildings, including the ruins of the cathedral, castle and St Rule's Tower and a wide variety of specialist shops and restaurants. Renowned worldwide as "the home of golf” St Andrews has seven world-class links courses and others in the area include The Dukes, Kingsbarns and the Fairmont St Andrews complex. Within 15 minutes drive you have an absolute wealth of beauty with the East Neuk of Fife and its picturesque towns and villages, including Crail, Elie, Kingsbarns and many more.
Getting Around:
Balmashie is located less than 3 miles from St Andrews, beside the Fairmont Hotel, just of the A917 leading from St Andrews through Boarhills and Kingsbarns, and the East Neuk coastal villages of Crail, Cellardyke, Anstruther, Pittenweem, St Monans, Elie, and Earlsferry.
For guests reliant upon public transport, the nearest bus stop is a 10 minute walk with Stagecoach running a series of buses along the A917 leading into and out of St Andrews.
