Welcome to Elderburn Lodges

At Elderburn, we believe that an unforgettable holiday is all about the little detailsโ€”the softest linens, a spotless setup, a warm welcome, and knowing there is someone nearby who truly cares about your stay.

We are Anne and Gareth Stanley, and together we run Elderburn Lodges just outside St Andrews.

Our Story & Philosophy

When we built Elderburn Lodges, our vision was simple: to create a peaceful, luxurious home-away-from-home where couples, families, and friends could relax, recharge, and explore the beautiful Fife countryside.

We take immense pride in looking after every single aspect of your stayโ€”from carefully preparing your lodge before you arrive to offering our favorite local recommendations for dining, coastal walks, and world-class golf.

We love to travel too, and always try to pick up and idea or two from everywhere we visit.

Why Stay With Us?

  • Thoughtful Touches: From easy check-ins to local welcome treats, we think through every moment of your stay so you don’t have to.

We look forward to welcoming you to Elderburn Lodges!

It would seem we need to work on taking photos together other than at other people’s weddings!
