I am a local to the Old Manor, and eat in The Coachmans Bistro fairly regularly. Also, I am getting married in August and the wedding reception will be held at the Old Manor.

Swallow hotels did mess up this hotel, but it is steadily improving, and i believe before long it will as good as ever!

The staff that are there now are very helpful, and apologetic for the past few months of chaos. The new manager, Gavin, seems very helpful and experienced so hopefully he will be an asset to this hotel.

Please dont be put off by previous reviews, the hotel is lovely and it is going to be the perfect setting for my perfect day!

Swallow Old Manor Hotel, Lundin Links, Fife Scotland
Hotel is quaint, and has some good views, professional staff.
Rooms are grossly overpriced and priced per person. Breakfast is included , however, the restaurant does not open before 7 am , with no alternative. Lastly, the en suite rooms which offer tub and showers have no water pressure. Having traveled to Scotland more than 8 times, I cannot recommend this hotel based on the price and ammenities.

Have stayed often but always in original part - up stairs & most front rooms have nice balconies now,

Last visit had to stay in East Extension ground floor (due to booking '[---]up') - avoid at all cost as upstairs floors 'creek' & nocturnal wanderings above does not pertain to a good nights sleep! Maybe if you are upstairs its ok!

Was told by staff that this part of building was not built properly or 'snagged' by previous owners on completion & everyone complains about noise!

In old part avoid rooms next to main road as noisy & also some are above kitchen hence hot & noise from extracts!

About 3 rooms are ok - but will keep that a secret as we will be requesting them !

Before being "Swallowed", the hotel management and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The offerings from the Aithernie restaurant were superb( I think the chef was Alan Blunt) although the atmosphere was a little "stuffy". Despite this, we stayed here on a number of occasions and so when we needed to return to Scotland, chose this hotel. After a gap of around 6 years, I returned to this hotel in March 2005 for a family reunion and was very disappointed. The "all in one" bistro was not welcoming and noisy. Dinner so very unforgettable. Breakfast absolutely dreadful. Poached eggs were very pale yellow, hard and grey! Returned them and was told it was the pepper!! Never again.
