DiningDelicious Food!

The restaurant offers a great menu with generous portions. The Scottish breakfast, especially the black pudding and fish, was the best ever.

Parking was spacious and secure, right next to my apartment, which was separate from the hotel. It made everything easy.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The New Inn Hotel is appreciated for its recently refurbished, modern, and clean rooms, some featuring a chesterfield-style settee and a very comfy bed. Guests often enjoy the full Scottish breakfast, sometimes before visiting nearby Ellon Castle gardens after parking in the free, secure car park. While most find it excellent value, a few guests in rooms above the bar area have noted noise from evening entertainment.
