Very enjoyable stay and good position for touring the East Neuk of Fife
Reviewed on
We stayed at Lathones the last week in May and really enjoyed our stay. The room was a basic standard room and was spotlessly clean. Food was excellent. We ate there on both evenings. Staff were excellent. Although there is a bus service it is best suited for car owners. Well placed for touring Fife in general.
Family emergency
Reviewed on
Contacted the hotel in plenty of notice to inform that the 70th birthday gift we bought for family could not be utilised - due to an unforeseen family emergency. Our family were already on a trip and this was the last stop, however, had to be cut short. The lovely itison staff were very helpful and were willing to offer alternative dates, if the hotel was also willing. Hotel staff were dismissive and extremely unhelpful. Therefore, the money we saved and gifted as a 70th birthday gift has been lost. I understand terms and conditions, however, I would have expected some compassion in these circumstances. Additionally, we paid extra monies to bring the family dog which has not been reimbursed.

A mixed bag

The staff were very good indeed. Very pleasent, helpful and efficient. The food too was very good with good portion sizes and delivered hot and well cooked. Our room was clean, warm and comfortable. There was a form of coffee machine in the room with no explanation on how it worked. There were 2 coloured 2 pods with it with no imdication whatever of what either contained. We did not use it.
However there was a need for improvement by senior management. The bedroom had a tired and dated feel. The bathroom had no lock on the door, the somewhat wornout shower was clearly in need of some attention, the shower itself appeared to be from a model Mira produced about 25 years ago. The bath plug was detatched from its chain. We were provided with 2 tiny tubes of liquid shower soap to last the two of us two days. I got a destinct feeling of penny pinching as far as our rooms and facilities were concerned and I would not return with these conditions. I think senior management are in need of greatly upgrading the rooms to a modern and acceptable standard as a matter of some urgency. We have visited many hotels and I am sorry to say that these were the least good rooms we have experienced.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Inn at Lathones. We were met by Debi at reception who was professional, knowledgable and friendly. Debi took us to Room 1 which was our base for the one night stay and showed us how everything worked. The room was comfortable and there was a bath and shower in the bathroom. One thing to be aware of with regard to Room 1 is that it is near the main road so there is some noise from passing traffic. The quality of food at dinner was excellent and well priced and there was a good choice. The drinks were also competitively priced. Debi was also front of house at dinner and she did a fantastic job serving all the different clients with efficiency and professionalism. The breakfast the next morning was also first class. The Itison deal provided excellent value for money and we will certainly go back to The Inn at Lathones.
Relaxing stay with lovely staff

Food was expensive but lovely. Freshly cooked breakfast from a large choice of dishes. Room comfortable and bar cosy. Location was very remote on a busy country road with only a grass verge so not safe to walk on. However the bus stopped across the road hourly and it was only 13 minutes into St.Andrews. Room allocation is strictly after 4pm and Bar does not open until 4pm so we had to sit in the car until 4pm
Great first impression - can’t do better than that.

First impression: The room was warm &, on a bitterly cold February day that was a joy. Then, the rest: room & shower room very clean. And, talking about very clean, I have never seen tables & chairs cleaned so thoroughly, efficiently & fuss- free. The staff were really helpful & friendly - they are a big plus to the business! I was happy to eat in the restaurant both night (fish pie recommended!) I really enjoyed staying there and it was a super base for exploring Fife.
