The Montague Rose Inn & Cafe

This is a beautiful B&B in a quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from the waterfront and the Kingsbrae Gardens. The room we had was quite spacious and clean. Unfortunately, the cafe downstairs was closed while we were there, but it looked adorable!

The Montague Rose is well localed just a few streets from Water Street. We parked at the AirBnB and walked down to the main street. Upon arrival we were greeted by the host. We were in the Verona Room on the main floor. The room and bathroom were perfect for our one night stay. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had lots of hot water.

A wonderful old bankers mansion built in the mid 19th century. Clean enormous rooms, well appointed and very close to the main street of St. Andrews. The proprietors Ben and Zainub are very helpful in providing all you need at the inn as well as information about the town. That they accept pets was a major plus as we often travel with or lab retriever Beau. He was most welcome at the inn as well as in many places in town. St. Andrews is one of the most dog friendly places we've been to. Two minor drawbacks - the bathroom for our room was separate (in the hallway next door), but was ours exclusively, was spotless and nicely decorated. All other rooms had ensuite bathrooms. Secondly, no breakfast, not a big deal. Coffee was provided in the room which for us, was all we needed. The room also had a fridge - very handy.

In a last minute and serendipitous change of plans we found ourselves booking an overnight stay at the Montague Rose Inn, and we were so glad we did! Ben and Zainub were welcoming and ready for us with a comfortable room, great local recommendations, an outdoor seating area complete with a visit from some local does and their fawns, and a delicious breakfast in the tea room. Romantic and homey, we stayed in the Romeo room which had a comfortable bed, wireless charger, fridge, coffee maker and private bath. It was a memorable stay and we will be back!

We stayed two nights in this gem of a house. Zainub and Ben were wonderful hosts and made our stay so comfortable. The accommodation was fabulous and the breakfast was delicious. The sight of deer in the garden was amazing. We would highly recommend a stay here if you are visiting the St Andrews area. Paddy & Susan (Ireland).

Zainab and Ben are the most delightful hosts! Putting their hearts into their newly acquired business (a year old now) they have done beautiful renovations to the rooms and are quickly adding decks, patio and planning more gardens for the property. Their attention to detail is outstanding. Their friendliness is infectious, exactly what a traveler appreciates in a holiday spot. The comfortable bedrooms with en suites are beautifully renovated and the main floor sitting room and breakfast room are inviting. Breakfast is substantial - eggs, cheese, croissant, orange juice, coffee, yogurt and fruit. Inclusion of gifts items for sale by local artisans is quickly making them a welcome part of their chosen community. A delightful experience from arrival to departure!
