IN JUNE a Dunfermline woman with 30 years of experience was appointed to a top role at a luxury Fife hotel.
Samantha Slight joined the front of house team at the Old Manor Hotel in Lundin Links as operations manager.
For the last 10 years she held the same role at Airth Castle, which closed in March, having previously worked at Balbirnie Hotel, The Scotsman Hotel, and Ferrybridge Hotel in North Queensferry.
Refurbishment began at the Old Manor and Samantha said she was looking forward to offering guests a "contemporary and updated experience.”
She said: “The Old Manor is a lovely hotel in a truly stunning location.
"It’s being lovingly refurbished to offer our UK wide guests a contemporary and updated experience.
“I’m delighted to be on board here.
"The opportunity to join came just at the right time with Airth Castle sadly closing its doors."
She continued: "I’m looking forward to being successful in the daily hotel operations and to guarantee that guests enjoy an outstanding experience."
When not working, Samantha is busy looking after her puppy, Lady, a Belgian Malinois.
