Bonnybank: The Newest Addition to the St Andrews Accommodation Scene

Bonnybank, the newest addition to SPACE accommodation, is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after places to stay for both students and visiting families. As the annual rush to secure housing intensifies, this modern development offers a blend of luxury, flexibility, and community-focused living that sets it apart in an already competitive market.

The building is primarily composed of SPACE’s signature king-size studios, which have proven especially popular among current residents. Designed with both comfort and practicality in mind, these studios come fully equipped with modern amenities, and have heating and air conditioning included in the price. For those seeking more space, the third floor features exclusive penthouse suites. These one-bedroom apartments boast spacious living areas, fully fitted kitchens, and private balconies with impressive views across the town and coastline. With only one penthouse remaining available for next year, the race is on.

Bonnybank also offers a flexible approach to accommodation. While the third floor is currently being finished up, the bottom two floors are currently available for short-term lets. If your family is still on the look out for somewhere to stay during graduation, look no further, as SPACE has plenty of room for your family’s needs. Importantly, the building maintains a clear structure: student leases end before summer, allowing short-term guests to stay, while ensuring that from September onwards, Bonnybank returns exclusively to student residents.

Beyond the apartments themselves, Bonnybank places a strong emphasis on lifestyle and community. Residents have access to free bookable meeting rooms, as well as a range of social and recreational facilities. A new on-site restaurant, The Social, is set to open in May, featuring private dining rooms, karaoke spaces, and games such as pool and darts. These rooms are available for anyone to book for birthdays, graduation, or any other special event, allowing you and your friends and/or family to celebrate privately.

Fitness and wellbeing are also central to the Bonnybank experience. A third-party gym, Salt, offers a wide variety of classes—from reformer Pilates and spin to yoga and barre—with discounts available for residents. Looking ahead, a refurbished sports hall is scheduled to open in September, complete with courts for basketball, tennis, and badminton, alongside a residents-only sauna.

With its combination of high-quality accommodation, flexible leasing, and vibrant amenities, Bonnybank represents a modern, dynamic approach to student living in St Andrews.
