Description

Description

Tucked beneath the gentle slopes of Largo Law, the Upper Largo Hotel has been a main feature in the village for centuries. Originally a 17th Century Coaching Inn, the building still holds onto much of its old charm – thick stone walls, cosy corners and a timeless sense of welcome that makes it feel more like a home than a hotel. Over the years it has grown and adapted, but never at the cost of its character.

Today, the Upper Largo Hotel continues to offer that same blend of tradition and comfort. Its conservatory style restaurant serves up locally sourced seasonal dishes with a view of the Firth of Forth, and the inviting, friendly bar pays quiet homage to the area’s golfing roots.

Whether you’re dropping in for a meal, staying the night, or just enjoying a drink in the bar, or outside on the patio or the Hygge tent (seasonal), there’s a gentle charm here that makes it hard to leave.
