There is so much to see and do during your stay at The Mollie-Rose. Our peaceful location makes The Mollie-Rose a wonderful choice for family holidays and short breaks in St Andrews.
Just a few miles outside St Andrews, Craigtoun Country Park is a brilliant day out for families. The 47-acre park has large play areas, trampolines, a zip wire, formal gardens and the enchanting Fairy Glen to explore.
During its seasonal opening periods, there are even more activities to enjoy, including crazy golf, pedal cars, go-karts, bouncy castles, tractor rides and boating. There is also a café for drinks, cakes and something to eat.
If you feel like treating yourself, head to Fairmont St Andrews. Set within a large coastal estate overlooking St Andrews Bay, the hotel is home to two championship golf courses, restaurants and a luxury spa.
You do not have to be staying at the hotel to enjoy many of its facilities. Book a relaxing spa treatment, enjoy afternoon tea or visit for a special meal. Golfers can also experience the Torrance and Kittocks courses, both of which offer beautiful coastal scenery.
St Andrews Castle stands dramatically above the sea and has witnessed sieges, imprisonment and some of Scotland’s most turbulent historic events. Visitors can discover the underground mine and countermine, as well as the unusual bottle dungeon cut into the rock.
Nearby, the remains of St Andrews Cathedral offer another glimpse into the town’s past. Once Scotland’s largest cathedral and an important centre of medieval religion, its striking ruins are surrounded by an atmospheric graveyard.
For something sweet, make your way to Jannettas Gelateria. This much-loved family business has been serving ice cream in St Andrews for generations and offers a fantastic selection of flavours.
A trip to St Andrews would not be complete without a visit to The Cheesy Toast Shack. Found beside East Sands, this quirky, family-run business serves freshly made toasties filled with plenty of delicious, gooey cheese.
Food lovers should make time to visit Balgove Larder. The farm shop is full of quality local produce, including fresh fruit and vegetables, meat from the on-site butchery, bread, cakes, dairy products and ready-made meals. There is also a café and the wonderfully rustic Steak Barn, housed in a former sawmill.
Founded in 1413, the University of St Andrews is Scotland’s oldest university. Its historic buildings form an important part of the town, and you will spot university halls, chapels and courtyards as you wander through the streets.
Take a walk around St Salvator’s Quad and visit St Salvator’s Chapel before exploring the cobbled lanes nearby. The university’s museums and exhibitions also offer an interesting look at its history, academic discoveries and collections. It is a lovely area to explore at a leisurely pace.
The Fife Coastal Path stretches for more than 100 miles along the coastline, passing through fishing villages, sandy beaches, nature reserves and historic towns.
You do not need to tackle the entire route to enjoy it. Simply choose a manageable section from St Andrews and take in the sea air and changing coastal scenery. It is a great activity for couples, families and keen walkers, with plenty of opportunities to stop for photographs along the way.
Our sea view caravan hire gives you the perfect setting for a walking break. You can spend the day exploring the coast before returning to the comfort of The Mollie-Rose and putting your feet up.
A little further afield, Tentsmuir National Nature Reserve is well worth the journey. Its mixture of forest, sand dunes, beach and grassland creates a beautiful place for walking, cycling and wildlife watching.
Known around the world as the Home of Golf, St Andrews is an unforgettable destination for anyone who loves the game. The famous Old Course is the best-known of the town’s courses, but there are several others nearby to suit a range of abilities.
Even if you are not playing, you can walk beside the Old Course, see the iconic Swilcan Bridge and soak up the atmosphere around the historic clubhouse. The British Golf Museum, now part of the R&A World Golf Museum, is another excellent place to learn about the people, tournaments and equipment that have shaped the game.
