The Inn at Lathones


Dixon and I managed to get ourselves a wee getaway last weekend, it was really nice to be able to just leisurely leave in the afternoon for our hotel and know that then next day was for sightseeing. So we booked ourselves in at the Inn at Lathones, it looked pretty close to St Andrews but a wee bit remote. So just tucked away in the hills we found ourselves checking into a free upgrade! I had never had that before so instead of the standard double, we got a king and a much larger room, and the bath had jets!! Included in the room was £15 each towards our evening meal and breakfast, so we settled ourselves down in front of the fire and had a gin and tonic and a beer while we waited for dinner. Which was also lovely. The Inn itself was featured in the ghost stories book I have in the photo below, it stated in there that the inn dated back to before 1718 where the owner of the inn was married, but his wife died at the inn and him shortly after, there were a couple other bits, but what I found interesting was the stone above the heart had inscribed their initials and the date, so at least that wall was from 1718.

From here we made our way to St Andrews, but I took so many photos, that will have to be in the ext post.
