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. |
