Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Newburgh Inn is generally considered a delightful highland getaway, often praised for its clean and comfortable rooms, some featuring blackout blinds and spacious layouts. Many guests appreciate the delicious food served in the welcoming restaurant, highlighting dishes like the fish and perfectly cooked steak. Its location is ideal, with only a short walk to the beach where seals can be spotted; however, a few guests have mentioned that some rooms could benefit from more conveniently located power sockets. With a nice playground and free parking, this Inn is a good starting point to visit Aberdeenshire.

adequate stay near the beach

friendly staff excellent food neat room unsafe entrance littered yard building update

the staff were very friendly and cute. i found the food to be excellent. the room was nice and neat. the location is great, a short walk to seal beach.

i had to use a back entrance after 9pm. it felt quite unsafe as it was behind the kitchens. the yard around the back entrance is littered with rubbish and old kitchen equipment. the whole building needs updated.
