Old Lathrisk

The Studio is a unique self contained, self catering holiday apartment on the ground floor of a 16th century country house, Old Lathrisk, sleeping 2 guests.  The large and interesting garden is open for guests to wander around and find quiet places for reflection. We encourage visits to the local historic village of Falkland with its Palace, cafes, gift shops and to Falkland Estate for walks, followed by tea and scones at the award winning Pillars of Hercules Organic Cafe.

​

Katie and Chris Fusaro are the current owners of Old Lathrisk, having bought the family home from Katie's parents Jo and Mike Aitken. Chris, recently retired from playing professional rugby with Glasgow Warriors, has now joined his family's award winning food and drinks business Luvians. 

 

Jo and Mike now live in the Vaults in a separate part of the ground floor. This 16th century country house near Falkland in Fife, has been home to the family since 1970, when David and Morag Wood bought the older half of Lathrisk House from Logan Pattullo. However there is a much longer family connection with this area. On his return from the Crimean War, Katie's Great Great Great Grandfather, Major William Wood lived in Falkland Palace with his wife Jane and their 10 children.  Old Lathrisk is a tranquil, countryside retreat in stunning grounds and we would love to have you share our beautiful home and garden.

 

We are happy to give advice on places of interest, activities in the area and Scotland in general. Our hope for the future of Old Lathrisk is that it will remain a place of well being and attract like minded souls to benefit from this special place we are lucky enough to call home.

'A day in this garden is better than a two week holiday!'

Wow!! Just WOW!! Not only was this little studio just perfect in every way, Jo and Mike are simply two of the nicest and most congenial people we have ever met! They are absolutely the greatest hosts we’ve ever experienced! We stayed here to wind down a long holiday and, boy, we are glad that we did. The studio itself was very spacious and comfortable. It had every single thing we needed and then some! The grounds were spectacular! Very peaceful and serene. The gardens were beautiful and very meticulously cared for. The perfect place to sit in the mornings and listen to the birds sing and enjoy the aroma of the wide variety of beautiful flowers. After a long day of exploring the area, the garden swing was a great place to sit and quietly reflect on the days adventure. If you want an incredible place to stay with the nicest host and hostess imaginable, don’t hesitate to book this gem! You will LOVE it!!
