St Andrews is a town where the calendar controls everything.

SERVICE OVERVIEW
We handle your St Andrews listing from the first walkthrough to the monthly report. That means preparing and photographing the property, writing and optimising the listing, setting prices against golf events and university dates, replying to every guest, and arranging cleaning and linen after each stay.
WHAT IS MANAGED
Our team manages listing content, calendar syncing across platforms, minimum-stay rules for busy weeks, guest screening, arrival instructions, a local welcome guide, deep and changeover cleans, restocking, safety checks and repairs arranged through trusted contractors. We also keep you informed through monthly reporting.
WHY CHOOSE US
Pricing in St Andrews is high-stakes. A single golf week or graduation weekend can outperform an ordinary month, and underpricing it is an expensive mistake. Orion reviews rates continuously and applies minimum stays around peak dates, while keeping quieter months competitive so the property keeps earning outside the headline events.
LOCATION DEMAND
The Old Course and the town's other links courses bring golfers from around the world, with major tournaments creating some of the strongest demand in Scotland. The University of St Andrews adds open days, conferences, graduation and parents' visits. The cathedral and castle ruins, the harbour and West Sands beach keep general tourism steady, and Leuchars station offers rail links toward Edinburgh and Dundee.

What are Orion's fees in St Andrews?
Our current terms are a setup fee from £500 + VAT depending on property size and 15% + VAT commission. We confirm the figures for your property after the initial visit.

Guests contact our team first. We deal with issues quickly, document anything that needs follow-up and arrange repairs without you needing to attend.
Is my St Andrews property suited to golf guests?
Often yes, particularly if it sleeps groups and has parking and space for clubs. We assess this at the walkthrough and position the listing accordingly.
How do you price around golf tournaments and graduation?
We watch the event and term calendar and raise rates and minimum stays for the strongest dates, then adjust again as the date approaches and demand shows itself.
Do St Andrews licences take longer to arrive?
Processing times are set by Fife Council and can run longer in busy areas. We start the application early and keep you updated so the listing is ready when your licence is.
