Certain units in the guest house have private entrance and are equipped with dressing room and outdoor furniture. All units include a kettle, a flat-screen TV and a safety deposit box, while some rooms will provide you with a terrace and some have garden views. At the guest house, every unit comes with bed linen and towels. Wonderful breakfast. It is fresh, because they dont make the eggs until you are actually ready for them. Nicest hosts, we felt so welcome, and if I ever go back to Scotland, I will definetely stay at St. Andrews house. Also, that was probably the cleanest room I've ever slept in.

It is located 8.8 km from Newtonmore Golf Club and provides luggage storage space. The guest house also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Easy location just off the A9 (literally a 2 minute drive). Approximately 50 miles south from inverness. Beautiful house and gardens with plenty of bird life and red squirrels. Lovely quiet location despite being near the A9 which you cannot hear. I had a large room (I stayed in the Stag room) which had a king size canopied four poster bed. A large ensuite bathroom with a bath and shower over bath arrangement. Spotlessly clean. The premises are licensed so you can enjoy a glass of wine or a dram from the drinks menu. Everywhere, was spotlessly clean. The host was amazing and engaging and cooks delicious breakfasts to order from the menu.which you decide on the night before. You can also arrange for an evening meal (sadly didn't order this option as I arrived fairly late in the evening) Scenery is fantastic with some falls you cross via a small bridge to drive to the house. Fabulous host. Beautiful location. Great value.
