We were 6 golfes so we pretty much filled up the house during our stay. The welcome was warm and our stay couldn't have been better. We could walk to golf at the Old Corse and all the othere attractions in St. Andrews. The breakfasts were of good quality, and we had to request special early service because of our... More

I am sure Lorimer Guest House is a good place if you actually get there. However, my only comment is that you should be careful with asking questions about cancellation policies and if it is possible to cancel part of the stay (4 months in advance) as they might simply cancel your entire booking without asking. Be especially careful if... More

We are very disapointed about this review we received about Lorimer House, so we as the owners wanted to tell everyone the whole story. In the summer 2011 we were contacted and after exchanging various e-mails stating our rules and minimum lenght of stay for Graduation week we confirmed a booking for 2 rooms for the 5 nights for a...

Mick & Chris looked after us from the minute we arrived by helping with our bags to booking golf and dinner each night. We stayed a total of 5 nights and with a wonderful breakfast each morning we where made to feel special every day. We will be back.

Second year I have stayed at Lorimer House and I will never stay anywhere else in St. Andrews. En-suite room was extremely clean and comfortable. Chris and Mick are the ultimate hostess and host. They were always available to help me with every St. Andrews question or suggesting new sites in the surrounding area to visit. Large selection of great... More

I have already booked for next year..which will be the 3rd year in a row. Chris and Mick are excellent hosts,the rooms are quite small,but comfortable and spotlessly clean ,the breakfast is unbeatable! Chris is obviously aware that his main market is golfers and he certainly knows how to look after his guests in this matter....he must have played every... More

Mick and Chris are amazing proprietors! They provided excellent assistance in getting our luggage up 3 flights of stairs to our rooms. The rooms were neat, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast service each morning was wonderful with an assortment of foods from which to choose. Both are knowledgeable of the St. Andrews community, especially Mick, who serves on the board of...

We stayed a week at the Lorimer House whilst playing golf on the St Andrews' courses with family and friends. Michael and Chris were very welcoming and looked after our golf clubs when we weren't using them, so we didn't have to leave them in the car. Lorimer House is situated only five minutes walk from the St Andrews 'Old'... More

what makes lorimer house so special are chris and mick-the owners. don't get me wrong, the place is beautful and the location is superb, but they run a first class operation with attention to every detail especially if you're a golfer-they had so many great tips for us on our stay that the trip was perfect-just a great golfing vacation

Travelled to play golf and this place is run by a golf enthusiast that couldn't be more helpful. Lovely modern house that puts many hotels to shame.

Great facility; excellent breakfast menu; very close to the Old Course first tee; friendly and helpful hosts; confortable rooms although ours was a bit tight; free access to WiFi. Parking a bit of a problem-may have to park a block or so away from facility.
