We waited 2 years for our visit after Covid and an impending new baby delayed it. However it was well worth the wait. We were a full house including 4 children celebrating a big birthday golfing treat at St Andrews. The welcome we received from Jo was lovely and the house was simply beautiful. Absolutely no negatives at all. Nothing has been forgotten and so many lovely features. If you want a luxury holiday home in a beautiful location then Hawkswood is definitely for you. Highly recommend.

Our group's stay at Hawkswood House and The Roundel was even better than we had imagined it could be. There was plenty of room to spread out, with multiple lounges, and the bedrooms were incredibly well fitted out. The kitchens were spacious and easily allowed our guests to cook and prepare food and drink if desired. The appliances, all made by Miele, were of the highest quality. We made full use of the hot tub spa's, which came in handy after playing golf at one of the many courses in the area.
One of the primary appeals of the St. Andrews area is the presence of numerous golf courses. Having a place to stay with its own private driving range and practice areas places Hawkswood above the other places which we considered.
One last note of importance: the staff were excellent, being attentive without being omnipresent.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hawkswood. The property was perfect for a large group of golfers and the service from the Hawkswood team was top class. We will definitely visit again on our next trip to Scotland.

We stayed in Hawkswood House with friends for a 60th birthday celebration. The house was absolutely stunning, immaculately clean and with every small detail catered for. The owners were fantastic and helped arrange pre stay deliveries as well as housekeeping for a change of guests mid stay etc. By far the best house we've rented and exceptionally comfortable. Would definitely recommend. The location is perfect for exploring local villages as well as St Andrews. Loved every minute of it!
