The Inn is 200 years old and was formerly a coaching

One of Scotlands Hotels of Distinction, spectacular
in every way. A charming setting, on the edge of the picturesque village
of Lundin Links, overlooking two championship golf course and Largo
Bay, completes the picture that is the Old Manor. Sip a cool drink or
take tea on the South-facing terrace. On a clear day you can see for
over 30 miles across the golf course, Largo Bay and the Forth Estuary
and if you think the view is spectacular, wait till you try the food.
A collection of over fifty of Scotlands finest, privately owned hotels.
Membership is selective. Ambience, quality and presentation of freshly
prepared food, and a dining experience that is always attentive never
intrusive, are considered to be essential. Only those offering exceptional
standards of service, consistent with best Scottish hospitality, are
invited to join Scotlands Hotels of Distinction. Aithernie House was
built in the mid 19th Century as a private residence, then seen as being
a modern country house. This was long before Lundin Links became a fashionable
and busy beach and golf resort with day trippers and holiday makers
alike. Former residents included the Russell family, of Tullis Russell
the Papermakers fame, for whom Aithernie was a family home in the early
nineteen hundreds. Also the Paxton family, a daughter of whom died recently
leaving around a million pounds to Multiple Sclerosis Research. In its
time Aithernie was a sanatorium; convalescent home during World War
two; and even a children's nursery school, though still remaining a
private residence throughout. In 1949 a local builder bought the property
and converted it to an hotel opening in 1951 as the Beach Hotel. In
the late '70s the hotel was extended and the name changed to the Old
Manor. The railway, running along the coast to St Andrews, played an
important role in making Lundin Links a popular holiday destination,
particularly with those from the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow and
even further afield. The village railway station overlooked the 17th
green of Lundin Golf Club and trains deposited passengers in front of
Aithernie House. As it ran through Lundin and Leven golf courses the
railway caused unusual golfing hazards, both physical and boundary.
Many a train was struck by a golf ball and a few golfers by the train!
Sadly the infamous Dr Beeching closed the railway in the 1960s. The
Hotel traded well through to the end of the '80s but the recession of
1990 to 91 forced it into receivership. The present owners, the Clark
family, acquired the hotel in the spring of 1992 and started a phased
development of the property. Private en-suite facilities were added
to all bedrooms and public areas refurbished to a high standard. Five
additional bedrooms were added in 1996 and during autumn 2000 balconies/verandas
were built onto the sea facing rooms in the West Wing. The Coachmans
Bistro, the hotels second restaurant was opened in 1992 and extended
to seat 85 in spring 1998. The Lundie and Largo Conference and Banqueting
suite accommodating up to 120 opened in May 1999. Also in 1999 the house
immediately to the East of the hotel was purchased and developed into
a self contained Lodge comfortably accommodating six adults. The accommodation
comprises three twin/double bedrooms, each with full ensuite facilities;
a lounge/dining room; full service kitchen; laundry room, gardens and
private parking. Residents in the Lodge can call on all the hotel services,
including room service. Daily maid service can be provided. Over the
years the Old Manor has won several awards including in 1994 and 1995
an AA Rosette for the high and consistent quality of food and service
in the Aithernie Restaurant. In 1996 we were awarded two Rosettes which
are still retained. The AA also named the Old Manor AA/Consort Scottish
Hotel of the Year for 1995 & 1997 & 1999 and AA/Consort National Hotel
of the Year (UK & Ireland) in 1999. In 1998 our executive chef, Alan
Brunt, was elected a Master Chef of Great Britain. Several of the Chefs
have won gold and silver awards in culinary competitions, the most prolific
being Roberta Drummond, Head Chef of the Coachman's Bistro. In 1997
the Hotel became the first hotel in Fife to be awarded four stars by
the Scottish Tourist Board. Is there a ghost? Well, some say there is
but if so he or she enjoys a contented existence in the peaceful surroundings.
No food is ever missing so perhaps the ghost feeds on the wonderful
aromas wafting from the kitchen. We hope that you too will enjoy the
gracious ambience of Aithernie and be titillated by the menu to savour
Alan Brunt's artistically presented modern culinary creations. |
