This was a great property for a private stay, comfortable bed, terrific, breakfast, and the genuine hospitality of the host that somehow made you feel like old friends instantly. Tom and Karen are genuinely great. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to any of our friends.

Excellent b&b, with lovely hosts and nice breakfast. 20 minutes by car from St. Andrews and close to public transport if using the bus. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

A great place to stay
It is amazing. Delightful place to stay close to St. Andrews but a little out in the beautiful countryside. The owners are great and helpful in answering questions. Very comfortable large rooms. Breakfast is delicious. Ticks off all the boxes with a smile.

Thanks for the great review. I am glad you enjoyed your breakfast. We try to buy our breakfast ingredients locally, we use a local butcher for our meat, we have our eggs delivered from a local farmer and buy local strawberries. I hope you will have the chance to visit again sometime. Kind Regards, Karen

Very comfortable stay....
Very comfortable stay with a great breakfast. Upon arriving very early on our day of arrival to drop off some luggage, my wife and I were offered coffee and home made cake and were made extremely welcome. We would certainly stay again in the future and recommend it highly to anyone wanting to stay reasonably close to St.Andrews or Dundee but prefer a rural location with exceptionally helpful hosts.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. Yes we are about 10 minutes drive by car from both St Andrews and Dundee. We are rurally set in the country and backed by woodland and fields. The St Michaels Inn is only a 5 minute walk away if you prefer not to drive out for a meal. Thank you again for your review.

The Stay Was Perfect
My dad and I stayed here before our long awaited round of golf at St Andrews Links. As I reflect back on this stay, I simply cannot find fault with any aspect of our visit. We are touring Scotland and England playing golf and I wanted the personal touch of a B&B at each destination and Pinewood was by far our best experience. Room - perfect size, great decor, comfortable beds Private washroom - very modern design, several amenities, great shower Wifi - worked well in the room as well as common areas Breakfast - freshly prepared and absolutely delicious Hosts - this couple is awesome and very attentive to your needs There is a St. Michaels Inn & Restaurant s just down the street. Their food is very good so 8 highly recommend eating there and trying the fish soup. But I highly recommend staying at Pinewood!
